Considerations in developing an integrated pest management programme for control of sea lice on farmed salmon in Pacific Canada

In the development of integrated pest management (IPM) plans for the control of sea lice there are some components that are common to many areas. However, effective plans must be tailored to regionally varying environmental and biological factors affecting the severity of sea lice infections. This paper describes factors that would be involved in the development of an IPM plan for sea lice in the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia. Temperature, salinity and currents affect the production, dispersion and competence of larvae of sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer), as they develop to the infective copepodid stage. This information can be coupled with oceanographic conditions in the Broughton Archipelago and emerging computer models to define zones of infection where infections of new hosts are most likely. Salinity and temperature depend, in part, on river discharge in estuarine systems. River discharge depends on precipitation, snow pack and ambient temperatures, which can be monitored to help forecast the intensity of sea lice infections associated with both farmed and wild hosts. One of the goals of IPM planning is to reduce reliance on pesticides to avoid development of resistance in targeted parasites and to minimize environmental residues. Recommendations for developing an IPM plan specific to the Broughton Archipelago are provided along with a discussion of the additional information needed to refine IPM plans in this and other areas.     

鲟鱼生殖内分泌学研究进展

目前所有鲟形目鱼类均处于不同程度濒危状态,物种保育形势非常紧迫。鲟鱼生殖内分泌生理学研究是研究鲟鱼类生殖特性和人工繁殖的理论基础,对于物种保护和水产养殖均具有重要价值。与硬骨鱼类比较,目前人们对鲟鱼生殖内分泌的研究相对较少,研究集中在下丘脑-脑垂体-性腺轴所调控的生殖生理特性,已经对生殖轴上关键内分泌激素(如促性腺激素释放激素、促性腺激素类和性类固醇激素等)和环境因素对鲟鱼生殖内分泌的影响开展初步研究,生殖内分泌学研究手段已经成为评估野生和养殖鲟鱼类的生殖发育状况的重要工具。对鲟鱼生殖内分泌学研究进展进行简要概述,为进一步深入研究鲟鱼的生殖特性提供有益的参考资料。     

三峡水库小江回水区原生动物和轮虫群落结构特征及其与环境因子关系初步研究

2008年春、夏、秋和水华发生末期,对三峡水库小江回水区的原生动物、轮虫群落进行了调查,共监测到原生动物52种、轮虫35种;其中,原生动物秋季种类最多,有30种,轮虫夏季种类较多,有25种。水华发生末期的现存量最高,但多样性指数最低。理化参数的多因素方差分析、聚类分析结果表明,小江回水区水环境具有明显的时间异质性。从物种组成聚类结果来看,不同时间的原生动物和轮虫群落组成不同,且与水环境的时间异质性并不一致。浮游动物现存量与环境因子关系的冗余分析(RDA)结果显示,水温与浮游动物群落现存量呈显著正相关。

Immunomodulation of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry by bath exposure to a β‐glucan from Euglena gracilis

Early developmental stages of fish mostly depend on innate immune factors for their protection. Augmenting these factors by application of different immunostimulatory substances may be beneficial for rearing and survival of the early life stages of fish. Bath administration of stimulants leads to a uniform exposure of fish independent of feed intake and reduces the individual handling. The present study demonstrates the immunostimulatory effect of β‐glucan (bath exposure) in rainbow trout fry at different dosages and exposure time. Rainbow trout fry (avg. wt. 770 mg; 87 days post hatch) were exposed to three different concentrations of β‐glucan (10, 100 and 1000 μg mL^?1) by bath exposure for 1 and 24 h. Expression of immune related genes from pooled internal organ samples of individual fish were analysed using a real time qPCR assay. Expression of complement factors (C3 and factor B) and acute phase proteins (hepcidin, precerebellin and transferrin) was significantly up‐regulated after 24 h bath stimulation with β‐glucan (100 μg mL^?1). These innate immune factors may play a vital role in clearance of pathogens. The expression of most of genes showed both a dose‐ and time‐dependent response. A medium dose (100 μg mL^?1) induced a significant increase in expression of complement factors and acute phase proteins mainly at 24 h exposure, whereas the highest dose of β‐glucan (1000 μg mL^?1) down‐regulated the expression of most of the studied genes. The result from the present study indicates that β‐glucan bath exposure could be applied for enhancing the innate immune factors even in fry.     

环境因素对淡水浮丝藻生长及产生嗅味的影响

研究温度、营养盐浓度以及光照强度对淡水浮丝藻(Planktothrix sp.)及其代谢产物二-甲基异莰醇(2-MIB)的影响,为控制丝状蓝藻生长及预警水体嗅味物质污染提供实践依据。浮丝藻由中国科学院水生生物研究所淡水藻种库分离于安徽巢湖;设置的实验温度为15、20、25、30℃,BG-11营养盐溶液体积分数为20%、30%、50%、100%,光照为1 000、2 000、3 000、4 000 lx。结果表明,温度对浮丝藻生长密度、总2-MIB生成量及胞外2-MIB分泌量影响最显著,25℃是浮丝藻最适宜生长温度,最高细胞密度可达6.04×10⁵个/mL,30℃是其最适宜的产2-MIB温度,总2-MIB生成量和胞外2-MIB分泌量均最高,分别为3.64×10³ng/L和2.78×10³ng/L;其次为营养盐浓度,增大BG-11营养盐浓度,浮丝藻生长密度和总2-MIB生成量会随之增加,低浓度营养盐时胞外2-MIB分泌量所占比例较高,表明低浓度营养盐更有利于浮丝藻进行胞外2-MIB分泌;光照对浮丝藻生长及产嗅味物质影响较小,...

硬骨鱼类黄色素细胞的研究进展

色素细胞是动物体内产生色素的一类特化细胞,其色素颗粒可选择性吸收或反射特定波长的光,产生多种颜色,从而形成动物的体色。色素细胞由胚胎神经嵴细胞分化形成,在动物警戒、求偶、伪装、拟态、隐蔽以及环境适应性等一系列生物学过程中起着关键作用。黄色素细胞的受关注度仅次于黑色素细胞,其合成含有类胡萝卜素和蝶啶成分的红/黄色素小体,可以形成从白色到红色等一系列的颜色,是研究色素细胞互作、色素沉着以及生物进化机制的理想模型。本文综述了鱼类色素细胞的来源和分布、黄色素细胞的发育和分化以及蝶啶色素合成代谢机制三个方面,并提出了现阶段黄色素细胞研究中存在的缺陷,为鱼类体色形成、色素细胞分化及体色性状分子选育提供参考依据。     

网箱养殖对千岛湖水环境的影响

通过对千岛湖网箱养殖区内外水域的四季水质调查,分析得出网箱养殖对千岛湖局部水域会产生明显的影响。造成养殖区水域的DO、pH下降,TN升高,不同季节和不同的水层影响存在差别。冬季对浅层的DO、pH产生明显下降,影响区域小;春季对表层的DO、pH产生明显下降,影响区域大;夏季受水温分层,影响不明显;秋季造成各层水体DO、pH下降,TN上升,影响区域大。千岛湖网箱养殖在春季和秋季对养殖区局部水域影响明显,但分散的网箱养殖对水域影响范围较小,对千岛湖水体短期内影响不明显。
