云斑尖塘鳢研究进展与前景展望

云斑尖塘鳢原产于东南亚地区,自20世纪80年代末引进我国,并实现人工繁育和养殖,已发展成为重要的名特优水产鱼类品种。随着养殖规模快速扩大,原有引进品种已经无法满足产业发展的需求,因此迫切需要加快云斑尖塘鳢种质资源研究,培育出能够适应人工配合饲料、生长速率快、抗寒、抗病能力强的适宜本土养殖新品种。本文综述了国内外半个世纪以来云斑尖塘鳢相关的研究进展;首先阐述了云斑尖塘鳢生殖和生长发育等生物学特征及研究进展,探讨了温度、盐度、溶解氧等环境条件对云斑尖塘鳢的影响;然后进一步总结和探讨了云斑尖塘鳢人工养殖领域的进展和面临的饲料、种质资源开发、病害防治等问题;同时也探讨了云斑尖塘鳢未来发展方向。     

生物海绵铁复合填料曝气生物滤器处理养殖海水脱氮条件优化研究

为了提高海水循环养殖系统(RAS)中曝气生物滤器(BAF)系统脱氮效率,减少亚硝态氮(NO^2--N)积累和曝气量,将铁基复合生物填料引入BAF系统,以间歇式曝气营造BAF系统好氧、缺氧和厌氧的循环环境,采用扫描电子显微镜考察了填料表面形态,研究了不同复合填料配比及曝气运行方式下的氮污染物的处理效果,并利用单因素实验对生物滤器的各重要运行参数进行优化。结果显示,添加铁基填料可以提高约10%的脱氮效率,降低25%的NO^2--N积累并节省50%的曝气量;海水BAF系统在如下运行参数条件下有更优的去除性能,间歇曝气时长为12 h,聚碳酸亚丙酯(PPC)凝胶亲水填料与海绵铁复合配比为3∶1,温度为30℃,水力负荷率(HLR)为1.2 m^3/(m^2·d),进水氨氮(NH4^+-N)负荷为1 mg/L。研究表明,在RAS中引入铁基填料并以间歇曝气方式运行,能提高BAF系统处理氮污染物效率,明显降低NO^2--N积累和运行耗电量,为BAF在RAS中的生产应用提供理论依据。     

Kurokura Solution as Immobilizing Medium for Spermatozoa of Tench (Tinca tinca L.)

This study tested KUROKURA solution (Kurokura et al., 1984, Aquaculture 37, 267–274) and its modifications (by increasing NaCl content to 160, 180 and 200 mM) on immobilizing properties for sampling and short-term preservation of potential motility of tench spermatozoa. The immobilizing solution is used because, when collected, the sperm of most samples is contaminated by urine, causing spermatozoa to be of poor quality, with low motilities and velocities (almost 0), thus resulting in a worsened fertilization and hatching rate. Sperm was sampled with a syringe containing an immobilizing solution (IS), allowing an IS:sperm ratio of 2:1, under aerobic conditions at 0–4°C. This sperm solution was stored for 10 h and untreated sperm was collected prior to fertilization as a control. Spermatozoa quality was evaluated for the cell motility and velocity parameters and also for fertilization ability and hatching rate. Results obtained for tench sperm motility, velocity, fertilization and hatching rate showed that only sperm collected in the various immobilizing solutions can be successfully used for artificial insemination and preservation after 10 h at 0–4°C. The best immobilizing solution was found to be KUROKURA 180 (180 mM NaCl, 2.68 mM KCl, 1.36 mM CaCl₂· 2H₂O and 2.38 mM NaHCO₃), giving a fertility and hatching rate of 41%, with no change in rates after 10 h storage of sperm. Control sperm without immobilizing solution showed a fertilization and hatching rate of only 6–7%.     

Economic feasibility of goldfish (Carassius auratus Linn.) recirculating aquaculture system

Economic analysis of a goldfish (Carassius auratus Linn.) recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) with rearing tank capacity of 5 m³ (RT5) has been evaluated based on two culture period in 2009 and 2010. The stocking density of goldfish was kept at 100 numbers per m³ of rearing water volume. Furthermore, based on the data obtained from RT5, four more hypothetical RASs of rearing tank capacities of 10 m³ (RT10), 20 m³ (RT20), 50 m³ (RT50) and 100 m³ (RT100) were conceptualized for economic analysis that assess and compare the effects of economies of scale on profitability. The payback period, accounting rate of return (ARR), net present value (NPV), profitability index (PI) and modified internal rate of return (MIRR) were evaluated for the different water volumes (up to 100 m³) assuming project life to be 10 years. The economic analysis revealed that a goldfish RAS with rearing tank capacity 20 m³ onwards can be feasible with a payback period less than 4 years, accounting rate of return 54%, net present value of Rs 241820 and modified internal rate of return of 23%. Sensitivity analyses revealed that market price of fish was most sensitive followed by survival rate, labour, maintenance, FCR, initial investment, discount rate, electricity cost and feed cost respectively. Interestingly, feed cost was found to be the least sensitive one.

Typical hydrodynamic models for aquaculture nets: A comparative study under pure current conditions

The net is regarded as the most critical component in marine aquaculture facilities as it is the only barrier which protects the environment from fish escapes. Accurate predictions of the net cage deformation and drag force on the nets are needed, both for ensuring fish welfare and for dimensioning of the mooring system. Thus, an appropriate hydrodynamic model is essential. In practice, two types of hydrodynamic force models, i.e., the Morison type and the Screen type, are commonly used to calculate the hydrodynamic forces on nets. Application of the models depends on the underlying structural model and the availability of data. A systematic review of hydrodynamic models is therefore undertaken to compare the models and various parameterisations, in aid of model selection during the design. In this study, eleven commonly used hydrodynamic models, i.e., five Morison models and six Screen models, are reviewed comprehensively, and implemented into a general finite element (FE) solver for dynamic simulations. Sensitivity studies on different current velocities, inflow angles and solidities of the nets are carried out. Moreover, different wake effects are also considered in numerical simulations. The numerical results from different models are compared against existing experimental data under pure current conditions. Suggestions for selection of suitable hydrodynamic models are provided, based on the model comparison.     

Economic feasibility of recirculating aquaculture systems in pangasius farming

This study aims to analyze the economic feasibility of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in pangasius farming in Vietnam. The study uses a capital budgeting approach and accounts for uncertainty in key parameters. Stochastic simulation is used to simulate the economic performance of medium and large farms operating with a traditional system or RAS. Data are obtained through structured surveys and a workshop in the Mekong River Delta. Results show that for large farms, net present value increases from an average of 589,000 USD/ha to 916,000 USD/ha after implementing RAS. Overall, the probability that RAS is a profitable investment is found to be 99% for both farm sizes. With RAS, the crucial parameters determining profitability are price, yield, costs of fingerling, feed, and initial investment. Findings on the robustness of the economic performance of RAS are useful to support public and private decision making towards increasing the sustainability of pangasius production.
