Effect of Salinity on Growth,Feed Utilization,and Survival of Tilapia rendalli Under Laboratory Conditions

ABSTRACT

Juvenile T. rendalli were evaluated for 10 weeks to determine the effect of salinity on growth, feed utilization, and survival in tanks. Fish weighing 3.94 ± 0.44 g were stocked into twelve 50-L rectangular tanks at 15 fish /tank. The fish were raised in three salinity levels (5, 10, 15‰, and freshwater as a control). There were three replicate tanks per treatment. After the feeding experiment, a digestibility trial was conducted for two weeks. After 70 days, fish in the 10‰ treatment grew significantly larger (P < 0.05) than those in 5‰, 15‰, and freshwater. T. rendalli cultured in 10‰ had significantly lower feed conversion ratios and higher feed conversion efficiency and protein efficiency ratios. Survival of the fish was significantly (P < 0.05) different and depended on salinity level. The apparent digestibilities of crude protein, fat, ash, and gross energy were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in T. rendalli cultured in the 10‰ salinity treatment. However, apparent digestibility of dry matter did not differ significantly (P < 0.05) between 10‰ and 5‰. The results obtained indicate that 10‰ is optimal for T. rendalli in tank culture.     

Temperature-Dependent Growth Models for South Dakota Yellow Perch,Perca flavescens,Fingerling Production

Abstract

Temperature-dependent growth models were developed for juvenile yellow perch, Perca flavescens (Mitchell), in eastern South Dakota. Age-0 yellow perch were held in a circular culture tank for two months and trained to accept a pelleted diet. Five temperature treatments (16, 19, 22, 25, and 28°C) were randomly assigned in triplicate to 15, 38-L tanks containing 10 fish averaging 84±0.4 mm total length and 7.4±0.1g. Instantaneous growth rates (biweekly) for weight were highest for the 25°C treatment and lowest for the 16°C treatment. Mean length increases for the 84-day trial were 16.6, 33.3,41.1,45.1, and 40.5 mm at 16, 19,22,25, and 28°C, respectively. Mean weight increases at those respective temperatures were 4.0,11.6 15.3,17.3, and 16.6 g. Cubic polynomial equations were empirically derived to predict maximum growth rates for total length (AL, mm/day) and weight (AW, g/day) from temperature (T):

ΔL = -1.2299 + 0.1015·T + 5.566e^?04·T²-7.206e^?05·T³(r² =0.99);and ΔW = -0.6052 + 0.0508 · T - 2.287e^?04 · T² - 2.028e^?05 · T³ (r² = 0.99).

Estimates derived from these analyses indicated that maximum growth under these conditions ranged from 23.4 to 25.4°C for length and 24.8 to 26.0°C for weight. The overlap temperature range (24.8 to 25.4°C) from these model predictions should be a desirable target range for maximizing growth performance in length and weight of South Dakota yellow perch fingerlings.     

饥饿对南美白对虾生化组成及补偿生长的影响

对南美白对虾(初始湿重1.427±0.018g)在29.5±1.5℃条件下进行不同饥饿时间处理后再投喂的实验。实验设对照组C以及饥饿处理组S_1、S_2、S_3、S_4、S_5和S_6共7组,分别饥0d(对照组)、1d、2d、3d、4d、5d和6d后再投喂。实验共进行20d。在饥饿1-6d的过程中,南美白对虾体重、脂肪含量、碳水化合物含量和能值下降,而水分、灰分含量增加,但蛋白质含量没有明显改变。实验结束时,S_1、S_2和S_3组体重与C组没有显著差异(P>0.05),虾体的生化组成也均接近或达到了C组水平,而S_4、S_5和S_6组体重则显著低于对照组(P<0.05),且虾体的生化组成与C组还有一定的差异。在恢复生长过程中,各饥饿处理组的生长率、食物转化率,以及S_4、S_5和S_6三组的摄食率均显著高于C组(P<0.05)。研究结果表明,南美白对虾继饥饿后具有补偿生长效应,这主要是由于恢复摄食后摄食率和食物转化率提高共同作用的结果。     

盐度对南美白对虾生长性能的影响

在盐度为 2～ 30范围内设置八个浓度组饲养南美白对虾 ,比较其生长性能。试验结果表明 ,不同盐度显著地影响南美白对虾的生长 (F >F0 .0 5=3.5 0 ) ,其中以盐度为 18的水体 ,虾的生长速度最快、存活率高、饲料系数较低。方差分析的结果表明 ,南美白对虾的最适生长盐度范围为 14～ 2 2 (|Xi-Xj|>LSD0 .0 5)。     

温度和盐度对扇贝“渤海红”稚贝存活和生长的互作效应

使用中心复合试验设计与响应曲面分析法研究温度(16~28℃)和盐度(22~34)两个因素对扇贝“渤海红”稚贝存活和生长的互作效应。试验结果显示,温度的一次效应、二次效应和盐度的二次效应对扇贝“渤海红”稚贝的存活率、壳长增长率和体质量增长率的影响达到极显著水平(P<0.01);盐度的一次效应、温度和盐度的互作效应对扇贝“渤海红”稚贝的存活率达到显著水平(P<0.05),但对稚贝的壳长增长率与体质量增长率的影响不显著(P>0.05)。存活率、稚贝的壳长增长率与体质量增长率的回归模型的相关系数分别为0.9696、0.9969、0.9966,校正系数分别为0.9391、0.9938、0.9932,预测系数分别为0.7622、0.9726、0.9662。3个模型均有较好的拟合度,可用于预测扇贝“渤海红”稚贝的存活率、壳长增长率和体质量增长率。经过软件优化,得到温度和盐度的共同影响下存活率、壳长增长率和体质量增长率的最优结果:温度22.65℃、盐度28.51时,存活率为95.33%,壳长增长率197.50μm/d,体质量增长率21.58 mg/d,其可靠性为0.975。     

The Effect of Vertical Netting and Water Circulation Pattern on Growth and Survival of Penaeus vannamel Postlarvae in an Intensive Raceway System

The growth and survival of Penaeus vannamel postlarvae (PL) were assessed in raceways with different levels of vertical netting and water circulation. Six polyethylene-lined raceways (bottom area 68.4 m²) were stocked with 3,100-1,300 PL/m². Four raceways contained vertical netting-two with 114 m² and two with 1090 m². Aeration was provided from a single air diffuser (26 m long) placed longitudinally at the midline on the bottom. Aeration in raceways without netting (circulated raceways) was provided by four 3-m-long air diffusers and a series of airlift pumps positioned to creat a counterclockwise current around a vertical center wall Differences in survival, final mean weight, harvested biomass, and feed conversion ratio values among treatments were not statistically significant. Pl survival after five weeks in raceways with nettting was 79.8%, compared to 94.8% in the circulated raceways. The average final weight, feed conversion ratio, and yield for the netted raceways were 0.63g, 1.08, and 1.56kg/m², respectively. The corresponding values for the circulated raceways were 0.53g, 1.00, and 1.66kg/m², respectively. Increased surface area provided by vertical netting had no effect upon growth, survival, harvested biomass, and feed conversion ratio of the shrimp. Waste removal was more efficient and less labor intensive in the two raceways with active water circulation.

饲料蛋白水平对台湾泥鳅幼鱼生长、饲料利用率及免疫酶活性的影响

本研究旨在评价饲料蛋白水平对台湾泥鳅(Paramisgumus dabryanus ssp)幼鱼生长性能、饲料利用率及免疫酶活性的影响。选用初始体重为(8.57±0.35)g的台湾泥鳅720尾,随机分成4组,每组设置3个重复,每个重复60尾鱼,分别投喂蛋白水平为25%、30%、35%和40%的实验饲料,养殖时间为60 d。结果显示,随着饲料蛋白水平的升高,台湾泥鳅幼鱼末重(FW)、特定生长率(SGR)和饲料效率(FER)先上升,饲料蛋白水平≥35%后,进入平台期。蛋白质效率(PER)、蛋白质沉积率(PRE)和成活率(SR)均呈先升高后降低的变化趋势。摄食率(FR)则呈逐渐降低的趋势。基于FW、SGR和FER的折线模拟结果表明,台湾泥鳅幼鱼达到最佳生长速度及饲料效率的饲料蛋白水平为34.57%~35.37%。通过二次多项式回归分析可知,台湾泥鳅幼鱼蛋白利用率最高时的饲料蛋白水平为33.61%~34.68%。随着饲料蛋白水平的升高,台湾泥鳅幼鱼超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性呈先升高后趋于稳定的变化趋势,过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性呈先升高后降低的变化趋势;谷丙转氨酶(GPT)和谷草转氨酶(GOT)均呈先升高后降低的变化趋势。由此得出,适宜的饲料蛋白水平可促进台湾泥鳅幼鱼的生长,提高饲料效率,增强免疫酶活性。在本实验条件下,综合考虑生长性能、饲料利用率及免疫酶活性,台湾泥鳅幼鱼饲料最适蛋白水平为34.68%~35.37%。     

Investigation of the Effects of Salinity and Dietary Protein Level on Growth and Survival of Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei

It is presumed that in hypo‐ and hypersaline environments, shrimp’s requirements for some specific nutrients, such as protein, may differ from those known in the marine habitat; however, few investigations have been conducted in this area of study. In the present investigation, the effects of salinity and dietary protein level on the biological performance, tissue protein, and water content of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, were evaluated. In a 3 × 4 factorial experiment, juvenile shrimp with an average initial weight of 0.36 ± 0.02 g were exposed for 32 d to salinities of 2, 35, and 50 ppt and fed experimental diets with crude protein contents of 25, 30, 35, and 40%. A significant effect of salinity on growth of shrimp was detected, with the growth responses (final weight, weight gain) ranked in the order 2 ppt (3.87, 3.50 g) > 35 ppt (3.40, 3.04 g) > 50 ppt (2.84, 2.47 g). No effects of dietary protein level or an interaction between salinity and protein on growth of shrimp were observed under the experimental conditions of this study. Percent survival of shrimp fed the highest protein content (40%, survival of 74%) was, however, significantly lower than those of shrimp fed the other feeds (25, 30 and 35% protein, survival of 99, 91, and 94%, respectively), a result likely associated with the concentration of total ammonia nitrogen, which increased significantly at increasing protein levels. Final water content of whole shrimp was significantly lower in animals exposed to 50 ppt (70.8%) than in shrimp held at 2 (73.7%) and 35 ppt (72.3%). No effect of salinity, protein, or their interaction was observed on the protein content of whole shrimp. The results of the present study are in agreement with reports of superior and inferior growth of L. vannamei reared in hypo‐ and hypersaline environments, respectively, as compared to what is generally observed in seawater.     

饥饿胁迫对杂交鳢生长及生化组成的影响

水温25.8 ～ 30.0℃,将初始体重91.6～ 125.1g、体长18.6～23.2 cm的杂交鳢(Hybrid snakehead)置于玻璃缸水槽中饥饿处理9周,探索饥饿胁迫对其生长(饥饿9周)和生化组成(饥饿7周)的影响.结果表明,饥饿处理9周后,各组的存活率均为100％;其体重的损失率随饥饿时间的延长显著上升(P＜0.05),饥饿至第9周时达(20.32±2.16)％;肥满度、脏体比、肝体比和脂体比随饥饿时间的延长呈下降趋势,各试验组与对照组相比均差异显著(P＜0.05);饥饿0～7周,杂交鳢全鱼水分含量逐步上升,饥饿开始时为68.26％,至第7周时达72.51％;灰分含量有所增加,但增幅不明显;脂肪、蛋白质和比能值均呈下降趋势;其中,脂肪含量和比能值下降较为明显,饥饿至第7周时,与对照组相比,分别下降了32.46％和22.56％;蛋白质含量在饥饿前期下降不明显,饥饿5～7周内显著下降(P＜0.05).判断杂交鳢在整个饥饿过程中,主要是利用自身的脂肪作为能源物质,同时也会消耗少量的蛋白质.     

Effect of number of spawns on the resulting spawn quality of 1-year-old pond-reared Penaeus vannamei (Boone) broodstock

For production of shrimp larvae in a commercial hatchery, multiple spawning of females is highly desirable, provided spawn quality is not affected. Using biochemical and production approaches, 349 females were individually followed, and 69 spawns were sampled over a 3‐month period. The quantity of eggs and nauplii per spawn was greater in females with multiple spawns. Several indicators of spawn quality, such as fertilization and hatching rates, per cent of viable spawns, and morphometric characteristics of eggs and nauplii were not affected by consecutive spawns. Analyses of egg and nauplii biochemical composition indicate that adequate transfer of nutrients to eggs is not compromised with successive rematurations and spawnings. Strategies that focus on the selection of shrimp with multiple spawning capacities could be a promising approach to increasing larvae production.     

饥饿和补偿生长对红鲫幼鱼生长和体组分的影响

分析了饥饿和冉投喂处理后红鲫（Carassius auratus red variety）幼鱼的生长和体组分变化。饥饿状态下,红鲫幼鱼体重、比肝重、肥满度和肝体指数下降,各饥饿组体重均与同期对照组存在极显著差异（P〈0．01）,其中饥饿15d组体重与初始体重存在极显著差异（P〈0．01）,肝糖原、粗蛋白和粗脂肪含量下降,水分和灰分含量上升;再投喂后,除饥饿15d组肝糖原与对照组仍有极显著差异外,其他各项指标均恢复到与对照组无显著差异。实验过程中,各饥饿组食物转化率均明显高于对照组,且与对照组存在极显著差异（P〈0．01）,其中饥饿10d组最高,达到了24．38％。结果表明,红鲫幼鱼存在完全补偿生长能力,其完全补偿生长是通过提高食物转化率（FCE）来实现的,短期饥饿时将糖原和粗脂肪作为主要能源物质。     

中草药对斑节对虾生长、饲料利用和肌肉营养成分的影响

研究了中草药对斑节对虾Penaeusmonodon(初始体重0.30g.尾-1)生长性能、饲料利用以及肌肉营养成分和氨基酸的影响。6种实验饲料(按顺序分别为1,2,3,4,5和6)中中草药的添加量分别为0,0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0和8.0g·kg-1饲料。除了饲料2之外,斑节对虾的成活率、饲料系数和蛋白质效率都显著(P<0.05)优于对照组(饲料1)。投喂饲料3的斑节对虾增重率与对照组相比,虽然统计学上不存在显著差异,但有较大幅度的提高。投喂添加中草药的饲料对斑节对虾肌肉的水分和蛋白质含量无显著影响,但脂肪含量明显下降。结果表明,斑节对虾饲料中添加适量的中草药能够促进生长、显著提高成活率和降低饲料系数,并改变斑节对虾肌肉中脂肪含量和氨基酸组成。     

南美白对虾最适蛋白需要量及饲料蛋白水平对体组分的影响

南美白对虾生长和饲料蛋白含量存在显著相关性。当饲料粗蛋白含量达到36%后，其增重效果不再明显。在整个养殖过程中蛋白质效率则随饲料蛋白含量升高呈现明显下降的趋势。南美白对虾最适粗蛋白下限在36%左右，中期粗蛋白为48.3%可获得最佳的生长效果，末期获得最佳生长的粗蛋白含量为46.09%。考虑成本、蛋白质转化率等因素，实际饲料配方中粗蛋白含量应在36%为宜。     

Effects of Temperature on Growth and Protein Assimilation in Juvenile Leader Prawns Penaeus monodon

Abstract.— The effects of temperature on growth and protein assimilation in leader prawns Penaeus monodon were evaluated. Growth of leader prawns was significantly ( P < 0.05) affected by temperature. The highest growth rate was 0.124 g/d at 32.0 C and optimum growth occurred between 27.5–32.0 C. Growth was described by an equation of the form: W _t = W_oe^kt ( R² = 0.99). The relationship between temperature and growth was described by a curvilinear equation of the form: Y = a + bX + cX² ( R² = 0.70). Apparent protein assimilation efficiency was not significantly ( P > 0.05) affected by temperature.     

Growth performance and body composition of pike perch (Sander lucioperca) fed varying formulated and natural diets

To assess the effect of dietary composition on growth performance and body composition of pike perch (Sander lucioperca), fingerlings with an initial body weight of 1.36 g (just trained to accept formulated feed) were fed three experimental diets in triplicate for 90 days. Two feeding groups were fed with formulated diets (CD, CD+7) containing varying levels of crude lipid (CL) of 14.65% and 21.94% dry matter (d.m.) with crude protein (CP) levels of 59.73% and 56.56%, and one feeding group was fed a natural diet (chironomids, CP = 65.93% d.m.; CL = 7.20% d.m.). Furthermore, pike perch of the same age caught in different natural habitats were analysed to determine their naturally fluctuations in body composition. Specific growth rate (SGR; CD = 3.36, CD+7 = 3.47) and feed conversion ratio (FCR; CD = 1.02, CD+7 = 0.93) of fish fed formulated diets did not differ significantly with rising dietary lipid content, due to high variability within the individuals of each feeding groups. In contrast, pike perch fed with chironomids showed a significantly lower SGR of 2.49 and higher FCR of 2.37 (on a dry matter basis). Body composition of pike perch fed formulated diets was affected by dietary composition and showed increased lipid contents [CD=6.25% original matter (o.m.), CD+7 = 9.00% o.m.] with rising dietary lipid levels. Pike perch of CD and CD+7 feeding groups showed significant increased hepatosomatic indices (HSIs) of 1.99 and 2.05 in contrast to fish fed chironomids with HSI of 1.11. Fish caught in the different natural habitats were characterised by low body lipid and dry matter contents of 0.64–1.88% o.m. and 21.08–23.75% o.m. Higher lipid incorporation of fish fed with formulated diets accompanied with poor benefit on growth performance at higher dietary lipid content indicated that pike perch ability to utilise lipids is low when dietary crude protein content is higher than 56.56%.     

饥饿不同时间后投喂对许氏平鮋生长及体成分的影响

在室内水温21.8~25℃条件下,将初始体质量为(8.87±0.16)g的许氏平鮋Sebastes schlegeli放养在50cm×50cm×100cm网箱中,饥饿0(S0)、3(S3)、6(S6)、9(S9)和12d(S12)后分别投喂30d、27d、24d、21d和18d,每组3个重复,测定其体质量、肥满度、脏体指数、肝体指数、摄食率、食物转化率及全鱼和肝脏主要生化组成的变化。结果表明:随着饥饿时间的延长,幼鱼体质量逐渐降低,各饥饿组鱼体质量显著低于同期对照组(P0.05)。恢复投喂后,S3组体质量、增重率(WGR)和特定生长率(SGR)显著高于对照组S0(P0.05),S6与S0组无显著差异(P0.05),而S9与S12组未能达到S0水平(P0.05)。S3组食物转化率(FCE)显著高于其余各组(P0.05),S9、S12组则显著低于对照组(P0.05)。饥饿状态下,各饥饿组鱼肝体指数与脏体指数显著小于S0组(P0.05));恢复投喂后各组肝体指数、脏体指数与对照组无显著差异。随着饥饿时间的延长,鱼体粗灰分含量显著升高(P0.05),水分与粗蛋白含量呈上升趋势(P0.05)。饥饿6d后,鱼体粗脂肪含量显著低于对照组,饥饿12d时粗脂肪含量比饥饿前降低了19.33%(P0.05)。恢复投喂后,各试验组间鱼体水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪和粗灰分含量差异不显著(P0.05)。S9和S12组中肝脏粗脂肪含量显著低于S0组(P0.05)。     

浸泡对浮性饲料粗蛋白含量及水质的影响

在11℃与25℃下,测定养殖池水浸泡浮性饲料24 h后粗蛋白及水体中总氨氮和总磷含量的变化。试验结果表明,随着浸泡时间的延长,饲料粗蛋白逐渐下降,而水体总氨氮和总磷浓度逐渐升高。浸泡4 h,25℃组饲料粗蛋白从初始(29.983±0.262)%降至(12.930±0.339)%,降幅56.9%,极显著高于11℃组的下降幅度(P<0.01),浸泡24 h,2个温度组饲料粗蛋白均下降80%以上。浸泡24h,11℃组和25℃组水体中的总氨氮浓度由初始的(0.135±0.001)mg/L分别增至(0.427±0.003)mg/L和(0.590±0.002)mg/L;总磷含量由初始的(0.075±0.001)mg/L分别增至(1.199±0.002)mg/L和(1.271±0.008)mg/L。建议在养殖过程中,尤其是高温季节,尽量缩短浮性饲料在水中的停留时间。     

Interactive effects of temperature and diet on the growth and biochemical composition of juveniles of the pearl oyster Pinctada mazatlanica

The combined effects of temperature and diet on the growth and biochemical composition of juveniles of the pearl oyster Pinctada mazatlanica at the hatchery were investigated. Specimens were subjected to a combination of four temperatures (20, 23, 26 and 29 °C) and five microalgal diets ( Isochrysis galbana alone, I. galbana + Pavlova salina, I. galbana + Chaetoceros muelleri, C. muelleri + P. salina and I. galbana + P. salina + C. muelleri ). An increase in shell height occurred in a linear pattern, while wet weight gain fitted a power law. Temperature, more than diet, exerted a stronger influence on the growth and condition of the specimens. The combination of 29 °C with P. salina+C. muelleri led to the fastest growth in shell height, while the combination of 29 °C with I. galbana + C. muelleri led to the highest wet and dry weight biomass. In contrast, specimens grew significantly less in shell height and wet weight at 20 °C, regardless of the diet. At all temperatures, the monoalgal diet of I. galbana led to the slowest growth of specimens, but in turn favoured the highest levels of protein, carbohydrate and lipid reserves as a possible strategy to store more energy reserves under stressful events.
