周期性盐度波动对凡纳滨对虾游离氨基酸含量及渗透调节相关基因表达的影响

在实验室条件下,以盐度30为对照组(S0),4 d为1个盐度波动周期,研究了幅度为4(S4)和10(S10)的周期性盐度波动对凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)稚虾离子通道和水通道相关基因表达、游离氨基酸(FAA)含量及其FAA代谢相关基因表达的影响。结果发现:(1)在盐度波动条件下,凡纳滨对虾离子通道相关基因Na~+/K~+-ATPaseα(NKAα)、Na~+/K~+-ATPaseβ(NKAβ)、碳酸酐酶(CA)、V型H~+-ATPase 1(VHA 1)表达量随盐度波动幅度的增加而极显著升高(P0.01);S4组对虾Na~+/H~+交换因子(NHE)和F型H~+-ATPase 1(FHA 1)表达量显著高于S0和S10组(P0.05);而Cl-通道蛋白(CLC)表达量在各组间差异不显著(P0.05);(2)周期性盐度波动极显著影响凡纳滨对虾水通道蛋白(AQP 4)的基因表达(P0.01),其表达量随盐度波动幅度的升高而下降;(3)周期性盐度波动对凡纳滨对虾肌肉中FAA总量无显著影响(P0.05);鳃中FAA总量随盐度波动幅度的增加而显著升高(P0.05),各组甘氨酸、精氨酸、脯氨酸等含量存在显著差异(P0.05)。(4)与S0组相比,S10组对虾的丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)表达量极显著升高,S4和S10组对虾的氨基转移酶(AMT)、脯氨酸脱氢酶(PDH)基因表达量极显著降低(P0.01)。实验结果初步表明,周期性盐度波动条件下,凡纳滨对虾渗透调控在转录水平上产生积极响应,且随着盐度波动幅度的增大,对虾的渗透适应性调控水平升高。在盐度波动幅度达到10时,凡纳滨对虾仍能维持体内的渗透平衡,说明其具有较强的耐受盐度波动的能力。

刺参夏眠期间正是日本对虾生长的大好季节,将刺参和日本对虾混养,在7月份放养虾苗,严格控制养殖池内的杂鱼虾等,就可大大提高日本对虾和刺参的成活率,利用此二者在饵料和空间的互补性,可显著提高虾池的利用率和经济效益。     

凡纳滨对虾造血激素基因全长序列分析及其克隆与表达

虾造血激素(astakine,AST)是节肢动物中具有促进造血组织细胞分化和增殖的一种细胞因子。在对白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)感染分子机制的研究中发现,WSSV的一个可能受体蛋白与AST存在特异性结合。为进一步了解WSSV感染与对虾细胞分化之间的关系,本研究应用反转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)结合cDNA末端快速扩增(RACE)技术,成功克隆了凡纳滨对虾Litopenaeus vannamei造血激素基因(lvast)全长cDNA(GenBank登录号:HM594944),并对该基因进行了生物信息学分析。lvast全长共1846bp,含有1个372bp的开放阅读框,编码124个氨基酸,估算分子量为13.3kD。其编码的氨基酸序列包含一个前动力蛋白(Prokineticin)结构域。基因序列和氨基酸序列同源性比较表明,凡纳滨对虾造血激素(LvAST)与斑节对虾和软尾太平蝲蛄AST同源性较高,与脊椎动物的同源性较低。通过构建包含lvast基因ORF重组表达载体pBAD/gIIIA-lvast,本研究成功表达出与预期相符合的目的蛋白,为进一步研究LvAST的结构与功能提供了理论依据和实验基础。     

Dietary folic acid requirement determined for grass shrimp, Penaeus monodon

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the dietary folic acid requirement of juvenile grass shrimp, Penaeus monodon. Purified basal diets were formulated using vitamin-free casein as the protein source. Graded levels (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 mg folic acid/kg diet) of folic acid were added to the basal diet, resulting in eight dietary treatments in the experiment. Each diet was fed to three replicate groups of shrimp initially averaging 0.79±0.01 g for 8 weeks. Shrimp fed diets supplemented with 2 mg folic acid/kg diet had greater (P<0.05) weight gain and hepatopancreatic folic acid concentrations than shrimp fed the unsupplemented control diet. Feed efficiency (FE) was highest in shrimp fed the diets supplemented with 2 mg folic acid/kg diet, followed by the groups fed 1 mg/kg, then the control group. Hepatosomatic index (HSI) was highest in shrimp fed the control diet, followed by 1 mg folic acid/kg and lowest in shrimp fed diets supplemented with 2 mg folic acid/kg. Weight gain percentage, hepatopancreatic folic acid concentration and hepatosomatic index of the shrimp analyzed by broken-line regression indicated that the adequate dietary folic acid concentration in growing P. monodon is 1.9–2.1 mg/kg diet.     

Stimulating effects of pond water on digestive enzyme activity in the Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone)

Crude enzyme extracts were obtained from the digestive glands of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone), reared in oligotrophic well water and eutrophic shrimp pond water to compare digestive enzyme activity between the two groups. Specific activities of serine protease, collagenase, amylase, cellulase, lipase and acid phosphatase were significantly higher (P < 0.01) in pond water‐reared shrimp (PW shrimp) than in well water reared‐shrimp (WW shrimp). For most enzymes assayed, specific activity was more than two times higher in PW shrimp, and cellulase activity was over six times higher. In contrast, chitinase activity was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in WW shrimp. Higher specific activity of most digestive enzymes in PW shrimp was probably due to natural productivity in the pond water that served as a source of organic substrates, and this increased activity may contribute to the growth‐enhancing effect of shrimp pond water.     

蛋氨酸铜和硫酸铜在凡纳对虾饲料中的应用效果比较

通过在饲料中分别加入不同浓度(铜元素的添加浓度分别为0、7.5、15、30、45mg·kg-1饲料)的硫酸铜和蛋氨酸铜,比较了硫酸铜和蛋氨酸铜对凡纳对虾生长、血液免疫因子及虾体铜的影响。添加蛋氨酸铜的各实验组生长速度同对照组之间没有显著差异;而添加硫酸铜的各组,只有铜添加量为30mg·kg-1饲料的试验组生长速度显著高于对照组(P<0.05),其它组同对照组之间差异不显著;成活率各组间无显著差异。除了铜添加量为15mg·kg-1饲料的试验组,各试验组对虾血清的酚氧化酶(PO)活力都高于对照组,其中当铜添加量为30mg·kg-1时最强,在此时蛋氨酸铜添加组的PO活力高于硫酸铜;随着铜添加浓度的提高,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力增强,在添加量达到30mg·kg-1饲料时达到最大,此时硫酸铜组和蛋氨酸铜组间无差异,都为507。对虾肌肉中铜的含量各组间无显著差异,为(4.07±1.80)mg·kg-1,个体间差异非常大;肝胰脏中铜的最高含量为210.36mg·kg-1,最低为33.78mg·kg-1(空白对照组),明显高于肌肉中的含量。结果表明,在试验条件下,同硫酸铜相比,蛋氨酸铜没有显著的促生长效果,对肌肉、肝铜含量以及SOD活性没有显著影响。     

头孢氨苄对斑节对虾幼体发育及育苗水体细菌数量的影响

研究了不同浓度头孢氨苄(Cefalexin)对斑节对虾Penaeusmonodon幼体发育以及对斑节对虾育苗水体中异养菌总数和弧菌数量的影响。在试验初期,无论是对照组还是施用头孢氨苄的各试验组,育苗水体中的总异养菌数量和弧菌数量都呈现出较为明显的上升趋势;在第二次施用头孢氨苄后,各试验组的异养菌总数和弧菌数量的增幅明显低于对照组(或出现异养菌总数和弧菌数量缓慢下降),而对照组异养菌总数和弧菌数量则呈现显著的上升。施用0.5～1.0μL·L-1头孢氨苄对育苗水体中的总异养菌有显著的杀灭及抑制作用,但对弧菌数量杀灭及抑制作用并不显著;施用1.5μL·L-1头孢氨苄对育苗水体中的总异养菌和弧菌数量的杀灭及抑制作用显著。当幼体变态发育至仔虾第8天(P8)时,对照组异养菌总数和弧菌数量分别达6.33×105和3.55×104CFU·mL-1,均远远高于试验组的异养菌总数和弧菌数量增长的幅度。试验组的幼体变态到P1期的时间,比对照组缩短了10h以上;试验组的成苗率也比对照组提高了3.2%～13.1%。     

投喂频率对凡纳滨对虾生长和水质的影响

研究了不同投喂频率(1,2,3,4和5次·d-1)对凡纳滨对虾生长、存活率和水质的影响。试验在室内2m3的圆形水泥池(d=1.6m)中进行,采用全封闭养殖模式,凡纳滨对虾(初始重量为0.24g)养殖密度为50尾·m-3,投喂人工配合饲料(粗蛋白含量为42.98%)。通过7周的试验,结果表明,投喂频率为1～4次·d-1时,随着投喂频率的增加,对虾增重率显著增加;投喂频率由4次·d-1增加到5次·d-1时,对虾增重率略有增加,但差异不显著。凡纳滨对虾的成活率在1次·d-1时最低,2次·d-1时最高,2～5次·d-1时随着投喂频率的增加而降低(投喂频率为1和2次·d-1之间、3和4次·d-1之间差异显著)。投喂频率为3次·d-1时饲料系数最低,蛋白质效率最高。随着投喂频率1～3次·d-1增加,饲料系数逐渐显著降低,蛋白质效率显著递增;而投喂频率从3～5次·d-1增加时,饲料系数增大,蛋白质效率逐渐下降(3和4次·d-1差异显著;4和5次·d-1之间差异不显著)。投喂频率对水环境中的pH值、H2S含量、COD、盐度等水质指标没有显著影响;在养殖后期水环境中投喂频率3～5次·d-1的NH 4和NO-2浓度较投喂频率1～2次·d-1时高。
