半滑舌鳎不同家系肌肉中脂肪酸含量的分析

为了研究半滑舌鳎(Cynoglossus semilaevis)不同家系肌肉中脂肪酸的组成与含量,并选育出高营养品系的半滑舌鳎家系,用气相色谱法对同一养殖环境中的半滑舌鳎15个不同家系(164个样本)肌肉中的脂肪酸的组成和含量进行了检测和比较分析,同时对高EPA、DHA、EPA+DHA含量的家系进行筛选,并研究了半滑舌鳎性别与EPA、DHA含量的关系。结果表明:(1)15个家系肌肉中脂肪酸种类没有区别,但脂肪酸的组成和含量存在若干差异。其特征均为多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)饱和脂肪酸(SFA)单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)。PUFA以ω-3系脂肪酸为主,且ω-3系脂肪酸与ω-6系脂肪酸比值达到4.16~5.03,其中的2种重要ω-3系脂肪酸EPA和DHA在15个家系中均具有显著性差异,且DHA含量远大于EPA含量;筛选出了3个高EPA、DHA、EPA+DHA含量家系,分别为F13012、F13023及F13031。(2)EPA的含量与半滑舌鳎性别不具有显著性相关关系。本研究对于选育半滑舌鳎优良品种家系具有重要意义。     

野生与人工养殖牙鲆亲鱼不同组织脂肪酸的比较

为研究脂肪酸对牙鲆繁育性能的影响, 采用生物化学方法, 对野生和养殖牙鲆亲鱼肌肉、肝脏及卵中脂肪酸组成分别进行测定。结果表明: (1) 牙鲆肌肉、肝脏和卵中脂肪含量大小关系为肝脏>卵>肌肉。野生亲鱼肌肉和卵中脂肪含量显著低于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05), 肝脏脂肪含量与养殖亲鱼无显著差异; (2) 牙鲆亲鱼3种组织中均检测出21种脂肪酸。野生亲鱼肌肉中饱和脂肪酸(SFA)与养殖亲鱼无显著差异, 单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)显著低于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05)。肝脏和卵中SFA显著高于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05), MUFA与养殖亲鱼无显著差异; (3) 野生亲鱼肌肉、肝脏和卵中高不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)的含量, 尤其是肝脏和卵中C20:5n-3(EPA)、C22:6n-3(DHA)的含量均显著低于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05), 但肌肉和卵中的C20:4n-6(ARA)含量明显高于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05); (4) 野生牙鲆亲鱼肌肉、肝脏和卵中n-3/n-6 PUFA及EPA/ARA显著低于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05), 肝脏中DHA/EPA显著高于养殖亲鱼(P<0.05), 但野生亲鱼肌肉和卵中的DHA/EPA与养殖亲鱼无显著差异。比较结果说明, DHA、EPA和ARA等PUFA是与牙鲆繁殖性能密切相关的重要脂肪酸。在牙鲆亲鱼养殖过程中, 除了提供牙鲆亲鱼足够的脂肪酸营养外, 也应注意各种脂肪酸, 尤其是PUFA中各种脂肪酸之间的添加比例, 从而保证亲鱼的繁殖性能及卵和仔鱼的质量。     

菊黄东方鲀发育早期的脂肪酸组成变化

采用生化分析手段对菊黄东方鲀的未受精卵、胚胎(出膜前,受精后80~85 h)、初孵仔鱼(0日龄)、开口前仔鱼(3日龄)的脂肪酸组成和含量进行了检测和分析。结果显示,菊黄东方鲀卵和鱼苗的水分含量随着个体发育出现升高趋势,而鱼苗总脂含量随着个体发育显著下降。各发育阶段的干样中检出8种饱和脂肪酸(SFA)、7种单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)和12种多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)。菊黄东方鲀未受精卵脂肪酸组成与其亲本卵巢非常相似;胚胎期的脂肪酸利用率高低顺序为SFA(15.08%)、MUFA(14.46%)、n6PUFA(10.20%)和n3PUFA(0.19%),以C16:0、C16:1、C18:1n9c和C18:2n6c为主要能量来源,n3PUFA被优先保存,特别是DHA得到完全保留;孵化后,在内源性营养阶段,仔鱼对n3PUFA利用迅速上升,仔鱼开口前的脂肪酸利用率高低顺序与胚胎期正好相反:n3PUFA(19.60%)、n6PUFA(16.98%)、SFA(13.50%)和MUFA(13.01%),以C18:2n6c、C22:5n3(DPA)、C20:5n3(EPA)、C22:6n3(DHA)、C18:1n9c和C16:0为主要能量来源,其中仔鱼对DHA实际利用量为最高(14.44 mg/g),仔鱼在开口前期n3PUFA(特别是DHA)被大量利用消耗。研究表明,菊黄东方鲀仔鱼发育需要消耗大量的n3PUFA(特别是DHA和EPA),并建议在菊黄东方鲀苗种培育开口阶段及时增加富含EPA和DHA饵料的投喂量,如海水的轮虫、藻类强化过的卤虫幼体,缓解苗种开口阶段成活率低下的问题。     

糙齿海豚营养组成分析

主要就中国水域糙齿海豚肌肉组织的营养组成情况进行分析。分析部位包括背肌、腹肌和尾肌3个部分。分析结果表明,海豚肌肉组织粗营养成分中腹肌脂肪含量最高,背肌粗蛋白含量最高。肌肉中氨基酸组成具有极高的一致性,含量最高的氨基酸均为谷氨酸,最低的是胱氨酸。海豚肌肉组织脂肪酸组成含有动物及鱼油中典型的脂肪酸如棕榈酸(16:0)、棕榈油酸(16:1)、硬脂酸(18:0)、油酸(18:1)、EPA(20:5ω-3)及DHA(22:6ω-3)。饱和脂肪酸(SFA)的总量与单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)的总量相近且大于多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)的总量。不饱和脂肪酸中ω-3/ω-6的比值较低(0.12～1.36),与其它海洋有机生物相比(通常高于4,有的高达50),该值明显偏低。海豚肌肉组织中富含钙(Ca)、镁(Mg)、铁(Fe)及锌(Zn)、铜(Cu)、锰(Mn)、硒(Se)等微量元素,这些元素在海豚肌肉组织中的分布无明显差别。     

基于脂肪酸分析的太平洋黄鳍金枪鱼营养生态位研究

黄鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus albacares)是生态系统中的顶级捕食者, 是海洋生态系统能量流动及物质循环的重要一环。为研究太平洋黄鳍金枪鱼在个体发育过程中的摄食变化以及不同海域营养生态位差异, 根据 2019 年东太平洋和 2021 年中西太平洋海域金枪鱼渔船采集的黄鳍金枪鱼样本, 对其肌肉的脂肪酸组成及特征进行了分析研究。结果显示, 黄鳍金枪鱼肌肉检测出 34 种脂肪酸, 包括 16 种饱和脂肪酸(SFA), 8 种单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA), 10 种多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)。黄鳍金枪鱼肌肉脂肪酸中 SFA 含量与 PUFA 含量呈负相关, MUFA 含量与 PUFA 含量呈正相关。SFA 含量与叉长呈显著负相关, MUFA、PUFA 含量与叉长呈显著正相关。中西太平洋和东太平洋黄鳍金枪鱼肌肉脂肪酸含量存在差异, 两海域之间脂肪酸组成平均不相似性为 18.85%, 主要差异来自 n-3 系列多不饱和脂肪酸(n-3 PUFA)、SFA、PUFA、C22∶6n3 (DHA)、Cl6∶0、Cl8∶1n9、MUFA、C22∶6n3/C20∶5n3 (DHA/EPA)、 C18∶0、n-6 系列多不饱和脂肪酸(n-6 PUFA)。主成分分析显示, 黄鳍金枪鱼的营养级越高, 肉食性越高, 以甲藻和硅藻为食源的生物对黄鳍金枪鱼的能量来源贡献越大。相反, 营养级越低的黄鳍金枪鱼主要摄食以细菌、陆地植物和植食性桡足类为食源的生物。主成分回归表明, 黄鳍金枪鱼随叉长增大, 其营养级增加, 肉食性提高, 食性逐渐由以甲壳类和头足类向虾和硬骨鱼等富含多种特征脂肪酸的生物转变。东太平洋黄鳍金枪鱼较中西太平洋肉食性更强, 营养级更高, 甲壳类对其能量贡献更大。

鱼类消费健康风险研究进展

与陆地动物相比,鱼类含有更多的ω-3系列多不饱和脂肪酸(ω-3 PUFA),尤其是DHA(C22∶6ω3)和EPA(C20∶5ω3),其中DHA可以促进婴幼儿神经系统、视觉系统的发育,EPA对于预防心血管系统疾病(CVD)有重要作用。经常食用鱼类有益于人体的健康,但水环境中各种有机的和无机的污染物通过食物链及生物放大作用在鱼体内累积,对人类健康有潜在的威胁。文章综述了PUFA对人体的生理作用,食用鱼类存在的风险,鱼类消费风险评估以及如何平衡食用鱼类的益处和风险。     

Rare serotype occurrence and PFGE genotypic diversity of Streptococcus agalactiae isolated from tilapia in China

Previously, we reported 10 PEGE types of 85 tilapia Streptococcus agalactiae(GBS), which shifted from Streptococcus iniae in China, by using PEGE method. Presently, larger and more representative tilapia GBS were isolated, for the ?rst time in China, to characterize their serotypes and genetic diversities more precisely than had done before. 168 GBS strains were distributed in ?ve provinces of China, in which Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan were the major ones, holding36.9%(62/168), 37.5%(63/168) and 19.6%(33/168), respectively. Serotypes, Ia, Ib and III, were observed in these strains and the most predominant one was Ia(95.2%), which mainly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. Ia initially occurred in 2009, it shoot up to 32.1% in 2010,but decreased to 16.1% in 2011 before went up to 45.2% in 2012. Ib sporadically occurred during2007–2011, III onlyoccurred in 2012. 14 different PFGE types, including 4 new types(N, O,P and Q), were observed, in which B, D, F and G were the predominant types, holding 83.9%(141/168) of the total GBS strains. Ia corresponded to 11 PFGE types(A–H, N–P), in which type D predominated(51%). Ib represented 3 genotypes(I, J and Q) and III harbored only 2genotypes(N and F). Type N and Fsynchronously presented in Ia and III. In summary, the genetic diversity of tilapia GBS varied by serotypes and changed with geographical locations and years.Although Iastillpredominated, new rareserotypeIII alreadyoccurred in China.     

Growth hormone (GH) and reproduction: a review

Interaction between growth and reproduction occurs in many vertebrates and is particularly obvious at certain stages of the life cycle in fish. Endocrine interactions between the gonadotropic axis and the somatotropic axis are described, the potential role of GH being emphasised. A comparative analysis of these phenomena in mammals, amphibians and fish, suggests a specific role of GH in the physiology of puberty, gametogenesis and fertility. It also shows the original contribution made by studies on the fish model in this field of investigations.     

Purification and partial characterization of GtHs (cfLH and cfFSH) from Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) (L.) and development of a homologous ELISA for cfLH

Two gonadotropins (GtH; Qa and Qb) were purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography from the pituitaries of Indian walking catfish (Clarias batrachus). The presence of GtH during purification was assessed by in vitro oocyte maturation and in vivo steroidogenic activity, and their identities were determined by elution profiles, molecular weight, biological activities and yield. The molecular weights of Qa and Qb were 37 and 42 kDa, respectively, and composed of distinct subunits (Qa: 20 and 14 kDa and Qb: 26 and 18 kDa). Polyclonal antibodies raised against Qa immunostained Qa, Qb and pituitary GtH cells. A competitive Qa‐ELISA was developed whose sensitivity was 6.25 ng mL^?1 (1.25 ng well^?1) with intra‐ (3.5%) and inter‐ (12.4%) assay coefficients of variation. Displacement curves parallel to the standard were obtained with plasma and pituitary extracts of catfish, Qb and carp GtHII. The assay was validated by measuring the plasma Qa levels after LHRH treatment and in relation to ovarian growth in the female catfish during different reproductive phases. Based on the results, Qa and Qb corresponded to fish LH and FSH respectively. The findings will increase the knowledge of the mechanisms controlling fish reproduction and identification of sensitive phases in fish in captivity for hormonal manipulation.     

Controlled infection of Poecilia reticulata Peters (guppy) with Tetrahymena by immersion and intraperitoneal injection

Tetrahymena is a protozoan parasite, which infects guppy, Poecilia reticulata Peters, and causes substantial economical losses in commercial farms worldwide. Studies of guppy infected by Tetrahymena require standardized infection protocols. The LD50 for Tetrahymena infection of guppies by intraperitoneal (IP) injection was calibrated, and the level obtained was 946 parasites per fish. Guppy infection with Tetrahymena by immersion, imitating the natural route of infection via the integument, was studied under normal or stress conditions. Exposure to cold and netting (CNI) and to cold only (CI) followed by immersion exposure to 10 000 Tetrahymena per mL resulted in 22.5% and 19.2% mortality, respectively, as compared to 14.2% and 10% in groups that were netted only (NI) or non‐stressed (I). Histopathology revealed that immersion infection resulted in a systemic infection. Lysozyme levels, measured 3 weeks after infection, were significantly higher in the CNI group (288 μg per mg protein) compared with CI‐, NI‐ and I‐treated groups (94.5, 64 and 62.3 μg mg^?1, respectively). There was no evident parasite immobilization activity in body homogenates, suggesting no development of acquired immunity. Re‐infection by IP injection revealed no increase in protection in any of the treatment groups, mortality range of 56.3–75%, higher than in the non‐exposed control (40.6% mortality).     

Evaluation of a Fast Method Based on the Presence of Two Restriction Sites in the Mitochondrial ND5 (mt ND5) Gene for the Identification of Scomber Species

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the suitability of a method based on the presence of two restriction sites (for Hae III and Hindf I) in the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (mt ND5) gene to identify Scomber species. The evaluation was performed on 144 reference and market samples by sequencing of the entire 505-bp fragment of the mt ND5 gene and of a 464-bp fragment of the Kocher fragment of the cytochrome b gene (mt Cytb). Sequence analysis of any of the two fragments allows the identification of each of the four Scomber species, but S. japonicus and S. colias had the same restriction sites at the ND5 amplicon and would not have been differentiated by this analysis. Similarly, loss of the Hae III site in some S. scombrus individuals would have misidentified them as not being Scomber. All the market products were correctly labeled except one acquired in Spain labeled as originating in the Atlantic and containing S. japonicus.     

Nitrogenous waste excretion and accumulation of urea and ammonia inChalcalburnus tarichi (Cyprinidae), endemic to the extremely alkaline Lake Van (Eastern Turkey)

The endemic, anadromous cyprinidChalcalburnus tarichi is the only fish species known to occur in alkaline Lake Van (Eastern Anatolia, Turkey). EightC. tarichi were maintained individually in Lake Van water (17 – 19°C; pH 9.8; 153 mEq·I^–1 total alkalinity; 22 total salinity) and tank water samples analyzed for 24 h in 2 to 4 h intervals. At zero time, < 1µM ammonia was present and urea was undetectable in the tank water; at 24 h, total ammonia and urea made up 114±32 and 35±25µM, respectively. Over the experimental period, ammonia-N and urea-N excretion averaged 1041±494 and 607±169moles·kg^–1 fish·h^–1, respectively. The extent of urea excretion was highly variable between specimens. Uric acid excretion was not detectable.Urea was present at high concentrations in all tissues and plasma (25 – 35moles·g^–1·ml^–1) of freshly caughtC. tarichi; total ammonia content of the tissues was by a factor of 1.9 (liver) to 3.0 (brain) lower. High arginase activity (2.4±0.2 U·min^–1·g^–1) was detected in the liver ofC. tarichi but ornithine carbamoylphosphate transferase, a key enzyme of the ornithine-urea-cycle, was absent. Ureagenesis is likely through degradation of arginine and/or uricolysis. High glutamine synthetase activity (11±0.6 U·min^–1·g^–1) and low ammonia content in brain suggest that, like other teleosts,C. tarichi has an efficient ammonia detoxification in the brain, but in no other tissue.Nitrogenous waste excretion at alkaline pH is discussed. The ability ofC. tarichi to excrete high levels of ammonia at extremely alkaline pH is unique among teleosts studied so far. The mechanism of ammonia excretion under Lake Van conditions remains to be elucidated.     

Imported ornamental fish are colonized with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria

There has been growing concern about the overuse of antibiotics in the ornamental fish industry and its possible effect on the increasing drug resistance in both commensal and pathogenic organisms in these fish. The aim of this study was to carry out an assessment of the diversity of bacteria, including pathogens, in ornamental fish species imported into North America and to assess their antibiotic resistance. Kidney samples were collected from 32 freshwater ornamental fish of various species, which arrived to an importing facility in Portland, Oregon from Colombia, Singapore and Florida. Sixty‐four unique bacterial colonies were isolated and identified by PCR using bacterial 16S primers and DNA sequencing. Multiple isolates were identified as bacteria with potential to cause disease in both fish and humans. The antibiotic resistance profile of each isolate was performed for nine different antibiotics. Among them, cefotaxime (16% resistance among isolates) was the antibiotic associated with more activity, while the least active was tetracycline (77% resistant). Knowing information about the diversity of bacteria in imported ornamental fish, as well as the resistance profiles for the bacteria will be useful in more effectively treating clinical infected fish, and also potential zoonoses in the future.     

Effect of iodophor disinfection of non‐hardened Salmo trutta eggs on their bacterial and fungus load

This study investigated the efficiency of iodophor disinfection (135 ppm active iodine for 15–30 min) of non‐hardened Salmo trutta eggs against different groups of bacteria and against fungus. Egg samples were taken from non‐disinfected and from disinfected eggs, microorganisms were cultured on specific nutrient media and their mass was measured by turbidimetric methods. Bacteria and fungus mass of non‐hardened eggs could be reduced but not eliminated by iodophor disinfection with 135 ppm active iodine for 15 min. The extent of reduction was 47–65% (Experiment 1). The efficiency of disinfection increased with disinfection time as the reduction in bacteria and fungus mass was 40–55% after 15 min and 58–74% after 30 min (Experiment 2). Disinfection efficiency of iodophor solution diluted in water (reduction 49–57%) and of iodophor solution diluted in sodium chloride solution iso‐osmolar to the oocytes (reduction 52–61%) was similar (Experiment 3). The reduction in bacteria and fungus mass was persistent as it was 39–72% lower in embryos deriving from disinfected eggs than in embryos deriving from non‐disinfected ones (Experiment 4). In conclusion, the tested disinfection method is inadequate to eliminate pathogens completely but it could positively influence immune defence of eggs and embryos.
