饲料锌水平对星斑川鲽幼鱼生长、组织积累和抗氧化功能的影响

以酪蛋白和明胶为蛋白源,七水硫酸锌为锌源,在基础饲料中分别添加锌0,50,100,150,200,400mg/kg,制成6种含有不同锌水平的精制饲料(19.95,71.06,118.50,174.00,226.10和411.20mg/kg),投喂初始体重为(62.89±0.51)g的星斑川鲽幼鱼66d,研究饲料锌水平对星斑川鲽幼鱼生长、体成分、组织锌积累及抗氧化能力的影响。结果表明,随着饲料锌水平的增加,星斑川鲽的增重率(WGR)显著升高(P<0.05),在174.00mg/kg锌饲料组达最大值,而锌水平高于174.00mg/kg时,其增重率和特定生长率(SGR)变化不显著(P>0.05),SGR和WGR的变化趋势相同,且SGR的最大值及饲料系数(FCR)的最小值均出现在174.00mg/kg锌饲料组;全鱼营养成分各处理组间均无显著差异(P>0.05),锌添加量为0mg/kg饲料组的肌肉脂肪含量显著高于其它各组(P<0.05);411.20mg/kg锌饲料组的全鱼、脊椎骨和肌肉中锌积累量显著高于其它各组(P<0.05),当饲料锌水平为118.50～411.20mg/kg时,全鱼、脊椎骨和血清中锌积累量显著高于...     

Influence of storage conditions on viability of quiescent copepod eggs (Acartia tonsa Dana): effects of temperature, salinity and anoxia

Copepods have proven to be an ideal source of live food for the production of marine fish larvae in aquaculture. Therefore, there is a need to develop new methods for production and storage of copepod eggs that can be hatched and used at fish farms. In the present study quiescent eggs of Acartia tonsa were stored for periods up to 35 weeks at different temperatures, salinities and oxygen conditions in a full factorial experiment. None of these storage conditions seemed to induce diapause in eggs even though this has been reported by other authors. The most promising storage conditions were those involving low temperature (<5°C), medium salinity (10–20 ppt) and anoxia. The practical aspects of these results for aquaculture are discussed.     

Food ration requirements of 0 yellowtail flounder Limanda ferruginea (Storer) juveniles

Several studies have shown that food ration can affect the growth of cultured fish. Determining the optimal food ration would help to achieve better growth and also provide direct economic benefits due to reduced food wastage, which would lead to commercial success. Therefore, we studied the effects of ration levels on growth performance of 0⁺ juvenile yellowtail flounder to determine the optimal food ration. Two experiments were conducted; the first experiment as a preliminary using ration levels of 1%, 2%, 4%, 6% body weight per day (% bw day⁻¹) held at 7.0 °C with a stocking density of 0.95 kg m⁻² (45% bottom coverage). Results of this preliminary experiment indicated that fish fed with 1% bw day⁻¹ had significantly lower growth (weight, length, body depth and specific growth rates (SGR)) than those fed with 2%, 4% and 6% ration. However, fish fed with rations of 1% and 2% showed significantly lower gross food conversion ratios (GFCR) than fish fed with 4% and 6% rations. Survival was not significantly affected by different ration levels. Based on these preliminary results, we used ration levels of 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 3% for the main experiment. Fish were held at 10 °C with a stocking density of 1.45 kg m⁻² (34% bottom coverage). Results indicated that fish fed with 1%, 1.5% and 2% bw day⁻¹ had significantly lower growth than fish fed with 3% bw day⁻¹. GFCR was significantly different for all four rations. It was lower for 1% than 1.5%, 2% and 3% rations. Survival was not significantly different between any treatments. We discuss our results with emphasis on growth and economics (i.e., feed wastage) and stress the need to balance both components in a commercial operation.     

星斑川鲽MHCⅡ恒定链Ii基因的克隆和表达特性

为了研究星斑川鲽MHCⅡ类分子的作用及调控机制,实验通过SMART-RACE技术克隆得到了星斑川鲽MHCⅡ恒定链(MHCⅡIi)的全长cDNA序列,其长度为1766 bp,包含135 bp的5′非编码区、837 bp的开放阅读框和794 bp的3′非编码区。该基因共编码279个氨基酸。理论分子量为30.848 ku,等电点为6.89。与已知物种MHCⅡIi进行同源性比对,结果与狼鲈、紫红笛鲷和鳜关系较近,同源性均为79%。利用quantitative realtime PCR(qRT-PCR)技术检测了MHCⅡIi在星斑川鲽不同组织中的表达,以及爱德华氏菌感染前后对该基因在不同组织中表达水平的影响,结果显示:在脾脏、头肾、肝脏、后肠、性腺、心脏、血液、鳃和肌肉组织中,MHCⅡIi mRNA均有表达,但在表达量上有明显差异,脾脏和头肾组织相对表达水平较高,鳃、血液、肌肉、心脏和性腺中的表达水平较低。病原感染后,免疫相关组织脾脏和头肾的表达水平升高最明显,肝脏和后肠的表达水平也略有升高,但变化不明显。本研究可为星斑川鲽MHCⅡ类分子的作用机理提供理论依据,同时为海水养殖鱼类的抗病遗传育种工作提供研究基础。     

Self-feeding activity of a pleuronectiform fish, the barfin flounder

The self-feeding activity of the barfin flounder (Verasper moseri) was examined under natural photoperiod and temperature. The experiment, carried out over 12 weeks from September to December, involved tagged fish (mean body weight: 371 g) reared in three 1000-l tanks (3 or 5 fish per tank) with a self-feeder device. The sensor comprised a switch and trigger string with a bead. Self-feeding activity was recorded in all tanks from day 1. The fish fed mostly at night. Strong positive correlations were observed between the number of daily feeder activations and water temperature/photoperiod, and all fish grew during the experiment. These results demonstrate that barfin flounder can operate self-feeding systems and it is suggested that self-feeding activity is influenced by photoperiod and water temperature.     

Effect of stocking density and addition of proteins on larval survival in Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus

The effects of larval density, rearing media, and protein additions on fish larval survival were tested by rearing larvae in small containers. Yolk-sac larvae of Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, were transferred 1 day after hatching to plastic dishes and cell-culture microplates by Pasture pipette at densities ranging from 0.3 to 30 individuals/ml and incubated at 16 °C without food. Dead larvae were removed and counted every 12 h. Three peaks of larval mortality were observed: the first peak appeared just after the transfer, the second corresponded to the completion of yolk absorption, and the third occurred 10–12 days after the transfer. Since about 50% of larvae survived until the third peak, it was clear that mortality at the second peak (completion of yolk absorption; equivalent to the first feeding) was not due to starvation. At the first mortality peak, better survival was unexpectedly recorded at higher larval densities (30 individuals/ml), suggesting that some material beneficial for survival is derived from the larvae. This idea was further supported by the improved survival in media previously used to rear larvae at high densities. The addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at 10 μg/ml effectively reduced mortality in microplates and in 30-l tanks. To reduce the larval mortality just after handling, addition of egg white at a dilution rate of 1/30,000 (vol/vol) or less is recommended as a practical alternative to BSA. Since the addition of polyethylene glycol 6000 (1 μg/ml) also effectively reduced mortality, reduction in mortality could not be attributed to a specific mechanism. The precise determination of the magnitude and timing of larval mortality was attained through the use of small containers, and a method to prevent mortality due to handling was identified in this study. These types of tests may allow the logical evaluation and establishment of better rearing procedures for seed production in aquaculture.     

Water temperature does not affect protein sparing by dietary carbohydrate in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) juveniles

The effect of dietary protein reduction balanced by an increase in carbohydrate (starch) level on growth performance, feed utilization and intermediary metabolism of Senegalese sole juveniles was evaluated at two temperatures, 12 and 18°C. For that purpose two isolipidic (16% lipids) diets were formulated to contain 550gkg^?1 protein and 90gkg^?1 starch (diet HP:LC), and 450gkg^?1 protein and 200gkg^?1 starch (diet LP:HC). Each experimental diet was fed to triplicate groups of 20 fish (initial body weight: 15.9g) within each temperature. Diets had no effect on growth and feed utilization. Temperature affected growth but not feed efficiency, with fish growing more at 18°C. Fatty acid synthetase and glutamate dehydrogenase activities were higher at 12°C than at 18°C while activity of the other measured enzymes was not affected by water temperature. Glucokinase and malic enzyme activities were lower while fructose 1,6‐bisphosphatase activity was higher in fish fed the HP:LC diet. Our data suggest that protein can be reduced from 550 gkg^?1 to 450 gkg^?1 by increasing starch level in high lipid diets for Senegalese sole juveniles without affecting overall performance. A reduction in protein content through an increase in dietary starch decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis. Increasing temperature from 12°C to 18°C improves fish growth but does not affect feed efficiency.

Pathogenicity of white spot syndrome virus on postlarvae and juveniles of Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei

White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) has decimated the shrimp aquaculture around the world. Breeding efforts to generate resistant stocks are necessary but there is a lack of basic information on challenge test strategies focused on genetic selection. Infection routes and developmental stages were evaluated on Penaeus vannamei as a first step in a strategy to select white spot virus (WSSV)-resistant stocks. Mortalities could not be induced before the PL30 stage. The impact of infection by immersion and blended tissue was intermediate on mortalities when compared to the minced tissue treatment on PL30. Blended and minced tissue treatments produced the highest mortalities on PL40 while immersion was intermediate. A general tendency towards higher susceptibility associated with older stages was detected. Additionally, juveniles of 1 g average weight from three local breeding programs were challenged. There were no differences in survival between the programs, although two of them derived their progenies from survivors of strong WSSV events. The implications of these results to the WSSV epidemiological characteristics and breeding programs are discussed.     

Influence of dietary soybean meal levels on growth, feed utilization and gut histology of Egyptian sole (Solea aegyptiaca) juveniles

The present study was undertaken in order to determine the effect of a dietary incorporation of soybean meal (SBM) on growth performance, nutrient utilization and gut histology of Egyptian sole Solea aegyptiaca. This species, which is genetically and morphologically close to Solea solea, is currently present in the Mediterranean Sea and reared in some Italian farms, using the same techniques for S. solea production and it could represent a promising new species for Mediterranean aquaculture.Three isoproteic and isolipidic extruded diets (crude protein, 47%, crude fat, 20%) were formulated containing 0 (diet 1), 18 (diet 2) and 30% SBM (diet 3). 540 juveniles (initial body weight of 6.9 ± 0.2 g) were equally distributed into nine 150 l squared tanks (bottom surface: 520 cm²) connected with a recirculation system (temperature 20 ± 1 °C and dissolved oxygen above 6 ppm). Animals have been hand-fed twice a day (at 9.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m.) at a daily ratio of 1.5% body weight^− 1. Diets were tested in triplicate for 87 days. The fish were weighed at days 28, 57 and 87, and they were sampled at days 0, 57 and 87 for nutrient retention determination. One-way ANOVA with Newman-Keuls' post-test were used to analyze data (P ≤ 0.05).No differences in terms of palatability were observed and any diet has been consumed completely all throughout the experiment. At day 87, fish fed diet 1, 2 and 3 reached weights of 25.8 ± 0.8 g, 27.5 ± 0.9 g and 26.1 ± 1.5 g, respectively and no differences in performances or nutrient retention were found.Histopathological gut examinations have revealed no noticeable differences in the appearances of the intestines between any of diet groups. Intestinal mucosal cells presented well vacuolated upper, with well defined microvillar brush borders. On the basis of the results of this trial, SBM seems to be a good protein source for Egyptian sole and can be added in the diet up to 30% without any reduction in growth rate and no adverse effect on gut histology.     

Immobilization antigen-independent protection of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) against Philasterides dicentrarchi (Ciliophora: Scuticociliatia) infection

To determine whether olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) immunized with lysate of Philasterides dicentrarchi could be protected immobilization antigen (i-antigen) type independently, fish were immunized with lysate of ciliates obtained from in vitro cultures or ciliates obtained from infected fish. Fish immunized with ciliates obtained from infected fish were completely protected against artificial infection with in vitro cultured P. dicentrarchi, in spite of a weak or no serum agglutination activity against in vitro cultured ciliates. The present results indicate that i-antigen-independent protection was elicited by immunization of fish with the ciliates lysate, and the cultured ciliates would provide a good source for preparation of vaccines, which are cross-protective against various i-antigen types of P. dicentrarchi.     

新型蛋白源替代鱼粉对星斑川鲽幼鱼生长、体成分和血液学指标的影响

以新型蛋白源（大豆浓缩蛋白、脱酚棉籽蛋白、喷雾干燥血球蛋白粉等）和脱脂鱼粉为原料,通过调节饲料氨基酸水平,配制出5种等氮等能的饲料D0、D17、D35、D52和D69,养殖星斑川鲽,初始体重为（75.6±0.18） g。其中D0（添加58%脱脂鱼粉）为对照组,D17、D35、D52和D69分别为新型蛋白源替代配方中17%、35%、52%和69%的鱼粉用量。每组饲料设3个平行,共养殖60 d。结果表明：对照组(D0)增重率(WGR)、蛋白质效率(PER)、特定生长率(SGR)分别为141.84%、229.88%和1.47%/d。与D0组相比,D69组WGR、PER和SGR显著降低（P<0.05）,分别为107.77%、186.37%和1.22%/d ,D17、D35和D52组与D0组均无显著性差异(P>0.05)。对照组(D0)饲料系数(FCR)为0.80,D69组FCR为0.98,差异显著(P<0.05);D17、D35和D52组与D0组FCR无显著差异(P>0.05)。随新型蛋白源替代鱼粉量的增加,鱼体消化道指数(DTI)逐渐增大,D0组为2.01%,显著小于D69组(P<0.05)。各组间的肥满度(CF)无显著性差异(P>0.05)。全鱼或肌肉中蛋白质和脂肪含量各组间均无显著差异(P>0.05)。全鱼中灰分含量随鱼粉替代量的增加呈增大趋势;红细胞数目、白细胞数目、血红蛋白含量及血清蛋白含量在各组间无显著差异(P>0.05),但血细胞比容和溶菌酶活力随新型蛋白源替代鱼粉量的增加呈不同程度的降低。本试验条件下,在星斑川鲽幼鱼配合饲料生产中可用新型蛋白源适当替代鱼粉而不影响养殖对象的生长。     

First results on spawning, larval rearing and growth of the wedge sole (Dicologoglossa cuneata) in captivity, a candidate species for aquaculture

The wedge sole is a target species in the fisheries of the Gulf of Cadiz (Spain). Having reared them to commercial size, we have studied reproduction and breeding in captivity of the wedge sole in this work here. The breeders adapt easily to captivity, and they can spawn in less than 1 year in captivity. The relative fecundity is relatively high, 1.06–2.33 · 10⁶ eggs kg⁻¹ per spawning season (mean 1.6 ± 0.1). Larval SGR is high, 7.2 ± 0.2% day⁻¹ (range 5.8–9.1), similar to other cultured flatfish species. In 1 year, some individuals reach market size and can release eggs, registering SGRs of 1.39–1.66% day⁻¹ (mean 1.56 ± 0.01). This species presents some very different characteristics with respect to other farmed flatfishes (turbot, halibut and Senegal sole, mainly), so that it is necessary to develop new techniques to optimise its cultivation. In the present work, the first results are presented on the biology of the wedge sole in captivity.     

Feeding selectivity of the seahorse,Hippocampus kuda (Bleeker), juveniles under laboratory conditions

This study examined the feeding selectivity of Hippocampus kuda juveniles under captive conditions and evaluates different food organisms that could be used to improve hatchery‐rearing of this species. Newly born H. kuda were reared for 10 days in 60‐L capacity tanks and fed rotifers (Brachionus rotundiformis), zooplankton (mostly Pseudodiaptomus annandalei and Acartia tsuensis) alone or both food sources. The size and amount of food ingested increased as seahorses grew. Selective feeding of seahorses appeared to change as they develop, preferring copepod adults over nauplii and rotifers. A. tsuensis was highly selected by juveniles over P. annandalei. Specific growth rate in terms of body weight (SGR‐BW, 15% day^–1) was the highest and mortality rate (9% at day 10) the lowest in seahorses fed a mixed food sources. Slowest growth rate (0.3% day^–1) and highest mortality rate (60% at day 7) were observed in seahorses fed rotifers alone. These results indicate that copepods are suitable food for seahorse juveniles, but a mixture of food organisms in the rearing tank environment enhances survivorship and growth of H. kuda, thus potentially providing a source of cultured rather than wild specimens for characterizing the life history of this threatened species.

为探究钝缀锦蛤 (Tapes dorsatus) 在广西北部湾海域的适宜养殖密度和高效养殖模式,2021年5月—2023年1月在北海、防城港、钦州海区滩涂进行筐式中培、筐式养成和网笼吊养实验。结果显示：1) 钝缀锦蛤在北海、防城港、钦州海区的适宜中培密度分别为2 000、1 500、1 500 粒·筐⁻¹,随着中培密度的增加,其生长指标和成活率均呈下降趋势;北海海区各密度组的成活率均优于防城港和钦州海区且差异显著 (P<0.05),除d₅组 (3 000 粒·筐⁻¹) 的生长指标 (壳长、壳宽及体质量) 小于防城港和钦州海区外,其他组生长指标均大于防城港和钦州海区。2) 养成期钝缀锦蛤在北海、防城港、钦州海区适宜养殖密度分别为40、40、20 粒·筐⁻¹,各生长指标与成活率均为北海>防城港>钦州,且成活率随养成密度的增加呈下降趋势。防城港海区的网笼吊养密度为30 粒·笼⁻¹时的各生长指标均为最大,50 粒·笼⁻¹时的成活率最高;网笼吊养模式下,各个密度组的生长指标和成活率均无显著性差异 (P>0.05)。海区环境因子调查结果显示：北海海区的年平均水温、滩温、盐度、透明度、pH、溶解氧 (DO) 略高于防城港和钦州海区,水质较为稳定,钦州、防城港海区的水质环境变化较大且较不稳定;北海滩涂底质粒径以粗砂为主 (49.00%),防城港以中砂为主 (59.28%),钦州以细砂为主 (77.33%)。海区浮游植物调查显示,浮游植物藻属种类和数量以北海最多,防城港次之,钦州最少。研究表明,钝缀锦蛤适宜在北海、防城港、钦州3个海区进行筐式中培和养成,北海的养殖效果优于防城港和钦州,且1.5 龄贝适宜在防城港海区进行网笼吊养。

     

饲料中必需氨基酸与非必需氨基酸的比率对牙鲆生长、氮的沉积与排泄的影响

设计了5个水平的饲料必需氨基酸与非必需氨基酸(EAA∶NEAA)比率(31∶69、39∶61、48∶52、57∶43、66∶34)通过56d的喂养试验,观察其对牙鲆氮的利用及氮的排泄的影响,结果发现,当饲料中EAA∶NEAA比率为57∶43时,牙鲆的增重、SGR、氮的沉积均增加,饲料系数及氮的排泄量降低;但当饲料中EAA∶NEAA比率增加到66∶34时,牙鲆的增重、SGR、氮的沉积率则有降低趋势,而饲料系数及氮的排泄则有增加趋势。牙鲆最大氮的沉积率43·2%和最低氮的排泄量35·3g/kg增重是在饲料EAA∶NEAA比率为57∶43时获得的。     

牙鲆皮肤黏液免疫球蛋白的纯化及部分特性分析

采用饱和硫酸铵分步盐析结合Sephacryl S-300凝胶过滤层析及DEAE Sepharose离子层析法,对牙鲆皮肤黏液中的免疫球蛋白(Ig)进行了分离纯化,并通过SDS-PAGE及Western-blotting技术对纯化蛋白的部分特性进行了分析。结果表明,30%、50%饱和硫酸铵分步盐析可以去除牙鲆黏液中除Ig外的很多杂蛋白,得到粗提黏液Ig;再经Sephacryl S-300纯化,Ig纯度较高,其中含有72和26 ku的条带;DEAE Sepharose层析法可进一步纯化Sephacryl S-300柱层析的产物,所提取黏液Ig经SDS-PAGE检测,只含有72和26 ku两个条带,初步认为是牙鲆黏液Ig的重链和轻链。Western-blotting结果显示,抗牙鲆血清Ig单克隆抗体可与黏液Ig重链72 ku条带发生发应。     

Nursery Culture of Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus Forsskal) and Sea Bass (Lates calcarifer Bloch) in Brackish Water Ponds: Co-Feeding of Zooplankton and Formulated Diets Containing L-Tryptophan

This study compared co-feeding zooplankton (ZP, mixed copepods and mysids) and formulated diets (FD) supplemented with L-tryptophan (TRP) on the survival and growth of grouper and sea bass fry nursed in brackish water ponds. Grouper (84 fry m^?3) and sea bass (150 fry m^?3) were reared for 30 days and 60 days, respectively, in net cages within two separate 743 m² nursery ponds. Five treatments (with three replicates each) were compared (P < 0.05): FD-1 = ZP + basal FD (no added TRP, but containing 0.29% endogenous TRP); FD-2 = ZP + (FD 0.58% TRP); FD-3 = ZP + (FD 1.22% TRP); FD-4 = ZP + (FD 2.50% TRP); and FD-5 = minced fish (Sardinella sp.) + basal FD (no additional TRP). TRP supplementation in grouper diets produced no significant affect on growth but increased survival at rates of 0.58% and above. TRP supplementation at 2.5% (FD-4) produced significantly better sea bass growth than other diets but had no affect on survival. Zooplankton improved both survival and growth in both grouper and sea bass juveniles compared to the minced fish diet, and may be a practical and lower cost alternative to indoor nursing.     

我国引进条斑星鲽群体遗传多样性的AFLP分析
