Growth comparison of Asian Nile and red tilapia strains in controlled and uncontrolled farm conditions

Growth of several genetically improved Nile tilapia (GIFT or Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia, FaST or Freshwater Aquaculture Center Selected Tilapia, SEAFDEC-selected) and domesticated red tilapia (BFS or Binangonan Freshwater Station, NIFI-red or National Inland Fisheries Institute red, HL or Hacienda Luisita) stocks were compared in controlled (tank) and uncontrolled farm conditions (lake-based cages) with unselected NIFI or Chitralada Nile tilapia as control. Specific growth rate differed significantly (P = 0.009) in tank-reared Nile tilapia stocks where GIFT grew best at 1.358%/day followed by FaST (1.307%/day), control stock NIFI (1.257%/day) and SEAFDEC-selected (1.202%/day). Genetic effect explained 84.4% of the variance in growth of Nile tilapia in tanks. Although Nile tilapia growth in cages followed the same trend where GIFT grew best at 1.570%/day, no significant stock differences (P = 0.479) were noted. Meanwhile, red tilapia reared in either tanks or cages showed no significant stock differences in terms of growth. However, survival of the red tilapia stocks in cages differed significantly with HL having the highest percentage survival at 93.3%. The different growth responses of the Nile tilapia stocks especially under controlled (tank) farm conditions were largely due to genetic factors (stock differences).Under uncontrolled farm conditions, environmental factors were generally observed to have also affected the survival and to some extent, the growth of Asian Nile and red tilapia stocks.     

北太平洋长鳍金枪鱼延绳钓渔场分布及其与海水表层温度的关系

根据北太平洋长鳍金枪鱼渔获量、海水表层温度等数据,研究了长鳍金枪鱼渔获量的分布区及其海水表层温度(SST)的统计特征.结果表明,北太平洋长鳍金枪鱼渔场主要分布于25～40°N之间的海域.长鳍金枪鱼渔场区平均SST为23.6℃,中位数为24.5℃,多数渔场区位于暖温带海域,其平均SST多数为16～28℃,产量数据分布为正偏.海水表层温度为16～23℃的海域,长鳍金枪鱼的平均产量和平均CPUE变化趋势类似,且表层温度为18～20℃的海域,长鳍金枪鱼的平均产量最高.渔获量分布于表层温度为16～23℃和24～27℃海域,但主要集中于16～23℃的范围.交叉相关分析表明长鳍金枪鱼CPUE同太平洋年际振荡指数具有相关性.     

额尔齐斯河银鲫形态学及COI基因序列分析

采用传统形态学方法和线粒体COI基因序列分析对额尔齐斯河银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)两个群体的形态和遗传差异进行了比较。结果显示:通过对8个可量性状和20个框架数据的主成分分析可以看出,两个群体分别占据两个不相重叠的区域,两个群体在形态上存在明显分化。COI基因序列分析显示,两群体之间遗传距离为0.012,群体间遗传距离是群体内最大遗传距离的4倍,两群体间在编码的氨基酸序列上出现了一处替换,群体遗分化指数值为0.96078,基因流值为0.01,表明群体间缺乏基因交流,群体间有明显的遗传分化。     

Stability comparison of three candidate internal reference genes in Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus)

The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) as food and medicinal product has been an important aquaculture object in China. Study of gene function in the Chinese giant salamander requires accurate normalization though the use of appropriate reference genes. In this study, the expression levels of three candidate reference genes including β‐actin, GAPDH and cytb of different tissues, different developmental stages and different challenges in Chinese giant salamander were evaluated by qPCR. The stabilities of these three reference genes were analysed by geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper software. The results showed that the expression of GAPDH was more stable than that of β‐actin and cytb in four tissues and at two developmental stages of Chinese giant salamander. Compared with GAPDH and cytb, β‐actin was the most stable in spleen of Chinese giant salamander treated with LPS or GSIV. Therefore, the result showed that GAPDH was the suitable reference gene in different tissues and at different developmental stages of Chinese giant salamander. The β‐actin could be used as a reference gene in spleen of Chinese giant salamander challenged with LPS and GSIV. This study provides convincing information for the GAPDH and β‐actin as suitable reference gene in Chinese giant salamander of different tissues, different developmental stages and different challenges respectively.

配制豆粕蛋白对鱼粉蛋白的替代量分别为:0、12.5%、25%、37.5%、50%、62.5%和75%的7种等氮等能的半精制饲料,饲养初始体重为(2.25±0.01)g的7组(三重复)花(鱼骨)6周,以评估花(鱼骨)饲料中豆粕的适宜用量.试验结果表明:豆粕蛋白对鱼粉蛋白替代量为75%饲料组的鱼体末体重和增重率均显著低于其它6组饲料组(P＜0.05),而其它6组饲料组间的鱼体末体重和增重率无显著差异(P＞0.05),各饲料组间花(鱼骨)的存活率、饲料系数、肥满度、脏体比、肝体比及蛋白质积累没有显著差异(P＞0.05),花(鱼骨)全鱼粗脂肪含量随着饲料中豆粕蛋白含量的增加而降低,而豆粕蛋白对鱼粉的替代对全鱼水分、粗蛋白、灰分无显著影响(P＞0.05),本实验花(鱼骨)配合饲料中豆粕蛋白对鱼粉蛋白的最大替代量为625%.     

岩原鲤的人工繁殖和苗种培育试验

岩原鲤 (ＰｒｏｃｙｐｒｉｓｒａｂａｕｄｉＴｃｈａｎｇ )俗称岩鲤巴 ,隶属于鲤亚科 ,原鲤属 ,是一种栖居于江河岩缝间的底层鱼类 ,最大个体可达 1 2ｋｇ。它主要分布在宜昌以上四川境内的长江干、支流和金沙江中下游。其肉质细嫩、味道鲜美、无肌间小刺、头小、含肉率高 ,因而深受人们喜爱。目前岩原鲤商品鱼的市场价已高达 1 80～ 2 40元 /ｋｇ ,但仍供不应求 ,于是加剧了人为的过度捕捞。随着三峡等大型水利枢纽的兴建 ,长江的水文条件发生巨大变化 ,岩原鲤的生存环境将受到很大影响。因此开展岩原鲤的资源保护和人工繁育工作已迫在眉睫…

仿刺参肠道潜在益生菌对稚参生长、免疫及抗病力的影响

以稚参期仿刺参为研究对象,探讨了分离自仿刺参肠道的潜在益生菌在稚参养殖中的应用效果。采用16S rDNA序列分析法将3株潜在益生菌分别鉴定为Bacillus sp.(GSC-1)、Bacillus sp.(GSC-2)和Enterococcus sp.(GSC-3)。分别以10³、10⁵或10⁷ CFU/mL的GSC-1、GSC-2、GSC-3或灿烂弧菌浸浴稚参以检验潜在益生菌对稚参期仿刺参的安全性,7 d后各潜在益生菌浸浴组的稚参成活率均高于同浓度的灿烂弧菌处理组;GSC-1和GSC-3在实验浓度下对稚参成活率无显著影响(P>0.05),可作为稚参的潜在益生菌;而10⁷ CFU/mL GSC-2浸浴组稚参的成活率显著低于对照组(P<0.05),因此GSC-2不适合作为稚参的潜在益生菌。将潜在益生菌GSC-1和GSC-3以10⁹ CFU/g的比例与鼠尾藻粉混合后饲养稚参20 d,潜在益生菌处理组的稚参成活率、特定生长率和变色率均高于对照组,其中GSC-1处理组稚参的成活率和变色率显著提高(P<0.05),GSC-3处理组稚参的成活率和特定生长率显著提高(P<0.05);与对照组相比,潜在益生菌GSC-1和GSC-3均有效增加了稚参的总菌数(P<0.05),GSC-1还有效降低了稚参的弧菌数(P<0.05);潜在益生菌GSC-1和GSC-3均可显著提高稚参体组织中的酚氧化酶和溶菌酶活力(P<0.05),GSC-1亦显著提高了其酸性磷酸酶和超氧化物歧化酶活力(P<0.05);GSC-1和GSC-3处理组稚参的抗灿烂弧菌感染能力均高于对照组,其中GSC-3显著降低了灿烂弧菌攻毒后稚参的死亡率(P<0.05)。综上所述,潜在益生菌GSC-1和GSC-3对稚参期刺参安全无毒,能够促进稚参的健康生长并提高其抗病能力,因而GSC-1和GSC-3均可作为益生菌应用于稚参养殖中。     

Effect of dietary <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-tryptophan on cannibalism,survival and growth in pikeperch <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sander lucioperca</Emphasis> (L.) post-larvae

The effect of supplemented commercial diets with crystalline l-tryptophan (TRP—5, 10 and 20 g TRP kg^?1) on cannibalism, survival and growth parameters of pikeperch post-larvae (Sander lucioperca) was evaluated. Fifteen-day-old pikeperch larvae (mean weight—6.8 mg) were reared during the next 28 days (20.5 °C, 16L:8D) in glass aquaria in a recirculating aquaculture system. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that TRP-supplemented diets were effective in increasing the levels of serotonin (5-HT) in the body tissue of pikeperch. TRP supplementation resulted in a slight decrease in both types of cannibalism, although the reduction in cannibalism impact did not amount to more than a few percent. TRP treatment had no significant influence on the final survival of pikeperch post-larvae (ranged from 20.1 ± 12.4 to 29.0 ± 12.9 %). However, contrary to the earlier studies conducted on other fish species, no significant difference in the growth rates and feeding behavior of pikeperch between TRP-fed and control group were found. The final body weight and growth rate ranged from 0.211 ± 0.014 to 0.243 ± 0.016 and from 12.19 ± 0.38 to 12.76 ± 0.35 % day^?1, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the effects of TRP supplementation on the cannibalism–survival–growth relations in fish in the post-larval stage.     

苯并芘和V_E对红鳍东方鲀抗氧化酶影响研究

试验结果表明,当水中苯并芘质量浓度为50μg/L时,红鳍东方鲀的超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶酶活性显著低于空白对照组,最多分别低93.1%和35.4%。说明其体内抗氧化体系受到明显的抑制,且两种酶活性均表现出先抑制后升高的趋势,证明红鳍东方鲀对于苯并芘的胁迫具有一定的自我调节机能。给鱼体注射VE(3个缓解组剂量分别为10mg/尾、20mg/尾和30mg/尾)后,红鳍东方鲀的超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶酶活性都有一定的提高,表明VE对苯并芘的影响有缓解作用。
