Sectioned pelvic fin ray ageing of muskellunge Esox masquinongy from a Virginia river: comparisons among readers, with cleithrum estimates, and with tag–recapture growth data

Abstract  The potential utility of pelvic fin rays as ageing structures was evaluated for southern US muskellunge Esox masquinongy Mitchill populations by comparing age estimates among three readers and against cleithrum estimates, and by comparing observed length changes of tagged fish with changes predicted from growth equations based on pelvic fin ray age estimates. Mean coefficient of variation in age estimates among all readers and between the two readers with prior ageing experience was 17.8% and 5.6%, respectively. Exact and within 1-year agreement rates between pelvic fin rays and cleithra were 76% and 100%, respectively. Mean (± 2 SE) estimated absolute error between observed and predicted length changes for 13 tagged muskellunge was 30 ± 14 mm. This evaluation indicated that pelvic fin rays may prove to be a useful, non-lethal method for ageing muskellunge in southern US waters. Validation studies are still needed to ensure that growth rings form consistently throughout fish's life span.     

浅谈种子质量保证

随着种子市场的规范化、商品化程度的提高,种子质量意识的大大增强,建立健全种子质量保障制度,全面保证种子质量,确保农民增产,农民增收势在必行。1质量就是生命对于种子这一特殊商品来说更是至关重要的,只有保障种子质量,才能使种子行业长久不衰。企业不能为了片面追求经济效益,生产经营伪劣种子,这样不仅降低了种子公司的信誉,而且给农民造成了经济损失。2要严格按照规程操作,严把质量关在种子生产过程中,确保亲本种子质量,尤其是纯度。应及时解决制种过程中花期不遇,制种产量低的技术难题,并认真开展种子田间检验及室内检验,确保种子的纯…
