Dietary mannan oligosaccharide enhances salinity tolerance and gut development of larval cobia

The potential beneficial effects of supplementing live feeds with mannan oligosaccharide (MOS; BioMos®) upon cobia Rachycentron canadum larval performance were examined. Characteristics of fish examined included survival to weaning, growth, ability to withstand osmotic stress and the degree of development of the brush border of the intestine. Live feeds included rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) and Artemia which were enriched for 24 h with a commercial enrichment media alone or in combination with 0.2% (dry weight basis) MOS. Salinity challenges were performed at 6 days post-hatch (dph) and at 7, 13, and 14 dph (0 and 65 g L^− 1 for 6 dph; 0 and 55^− 1 7+ dph) corresponding to transitions in feeding, to examine the ability of larval cobia to survive stress. Differences (P < 0.05) in survival, favoring cobia receiving MOS-supplemented feeds were discerned at 6 and 7 days post-hatch (dph) when fish were challenged at 0 g L^− 1 and at 13 dph when challenged with 55 g L^− 1 salinity water. Electron microscopy of the mid-intestine of developing larvae revealed that MOS-supplemented diets enhanced (P < 0.05) the height of microvilli while reducing (P < 0.05) the occurrence and size of supranuclear vacuoles. Supplementation of diets with MOS could assist cobia larvae in maintaining allostasis especially when reared at sub-optimal salinities.     

军曹鱼幼鱼商品饲料中铁、锌适宜添加量的研究

在军曹鱼幼鱼商品饲料中添加铁100、200、300 mg/kg,添加锌30、110、190 mg/kg,共投喂56 d.试验结束时测定,军曹鱼成活率、质量增加率、红细胞含量、肌肉铁含量、骨骼铁、锌含量和肝脏铁、锌含量明显受饲料中铁、锌添加量的影响;血清碱性磷酸酶活性受铁、锌交互作用影响显著,饲料系数主要受铁锌交互作用的影响.以成活率和质量增加率为评价指标,军曹鱼幼鱼商品饲料中铁和锌适宜添加量分别为200 mg/kg和110 mg/kg.     

杂交贻贝同工酶表达的初步分析

运用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,对2种贻贝(厚壳贻贝、紫贻贝)稚贝及通过人工培育所得的二者的杂交后代稚贝同工酶表达状况进行分析.结果显示,所检测5种酶(SOD、MDH、ME、ATP、ADH)在上述3种贻贝中的表达极为相似,MDH在3种贻贝中除r迁移率相同的条带外,在紫贻贝中表达出迁移率较小、表达较弱的条带;SOD和ATP仅在厚壳贻贝中表达出比另外2种多1条迁移率最大的条带,ME则表现为紫贻贝少1条中间的条带,ADH在杂交贻贝和紫贻贝中表达完全相同,厚壳贻贝虽也表现为3条酶带,但迁移率明显不同.试验结果说明,厚壳贻贝和紫贻贝具有较近的亲缘关系,其杂交后代与二者均有一定的相似性,这与传统的分类方法所得的结论相一致.     

盐度变化对军曹鱼稚鱼相关免疫因子及其生长的影响

研究了盐度(5、10、20、30及对照37)对军曹鱼(Rachycentron canadum)稚鱼生长及其血清溶菌酶、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、旁路途径补体(ACP)溶血活性(ACH50)和总免疫球蛋白(T-Ig)含量等免疫因子的影响。实验周期为14 d。结果表明,在逐渐达到设定盐度后养殖14 d,盐度30组稚鱼特定生长率(SGR)最高(5.77%/d),而盐度5和10组的SGR(分别为4.24%/d和4.38%/d)显著低于其他组(P<0.05)。在低盐度环境中血清溶菌酶活性在第7天各组都有不同程度升高,其中以盐度20组升高最为显著,其次为盐度10和30组,但第14天各组溶菌酶活性又都回落至对照组水平;而稚鱼在低盐度环境中血清ALP活性受到明显抑制,且活性与盐度呈一定正相关;各组间ACP活性在第7天各盐度组间无明显差异,但实验结束时盐度5和10两组出现显著升高;而T-Ig含量在盐度10组中始终明显高于其他组。研究显示,军曹鱼稚鱼在盐度20~37范围内都可正常生长,尽管稚鱼有较强的低盐度耐受能力,但过低盐度明显影响其生长率并导致体色变黑、蛀鳍和应激增强等异常表现。此外,盐度变化还影响稚鱼多种免疫相关因子。[中国水产科学,2007,14(1):120-125]     

菌剂对高寒地区土壤微生物群落结构及固氮菌群的影响

为了探究微生物菌剂替代无机化肥对土壤微生物群落结构与固氮菌群的影响。本试验以甘南高寒地区青稞(Hordeum vulgare var.celeste Linnaeus)种植地土壤为研究对象。试验设置不同施肥处理,即不施肥(CK)、单施化肥(T1)、菌剂+75%化肥(T2)、菌剂+50%化肥(T3)、菌剂+25%化肥(T4)和全施菌剂(T5)。通过测定土壤微生物磷脂脂肪酸(Phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA)、自生固氮菌数量等指标。结果表明：随菌剂替代化肥的比例增加,土壤中微生物总PLFA增加,土壤微生物压力指数逐渐减小。土壤脲酶、微生物量氮、硝态氮和铵态氮呈先增加后减少的趋势,在T4处理下达到最大值,分别为0.42 mg·(g·d)^-1,9.32 mg·kg^-1,9.66 mg·kg^-1和6.84 mg·kg^-1。本研究说明菌剂可以部分替代无机化肥,当替代量为75%时,不但不会造成土壤中氮素含量下降,还能改变土壤微生物群落结构。这一发现为青藏高原耕作区无机化肥的减施提供了科学...

Effects of dietary carbohydrate sources on the growth performance and hepatic carbohydrate metabolic enzyme activities of juvenile cobia (Rachycentron canadum Linnaeus.)

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary carbohydrate sources on the growth performance and hepatic carbohydrate metabolic enzyme activities of juvenile cobia. Six experimental diets were formulated to contain 20% glucose, sucrose, maltose, dextrin, corn starch and wheat starch respectively. The results indicated that fish fed the wheat starch and dextrin diets showed significantly better weight gain, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio compared with those fed the other diets. However, fish fed the glucose diet had a significantly lower survival and condition factor than those fed the other diets. There were significant differences in the total plasma glucose and triglyceride concentration in fish fed diets with different dietary carbohydrate sources. Haematocrit, haemoglobin, red blood cell and leucocytes were significantly affected by the dietary carbohydrate sources. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), 6-phosphofructokinase (PFK) and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) were significantly affected by the dietary carbohydrate sources, while fish fed the glucose diet showed higher G6PD, PFK and FBPase activities than those fed the other diets. These data indicated that dextrin and wheat starch were the most optimal carbohydrate sources for juvenile cobia.     

南疆棉田十一星瓢虫对棉蚜的生态控制

通过对南疆尉犁县两处棉田,4个品种十一星瓢虫的种群动态、人工诱集和棉蚜防治效果测试观察,发现:在南疆不同品种的棉田中,十一星瓢虫是棉田棉蚜的主要天敌,约占棉田瓢虫总数的80%左右;十一星瓢虫与棉蚜种群数量呈显著的跟随关系,发生期比棉蚜滞后1周左右。人工诱集十一星瓢虫的数量与诱集箱放置的位置和箱内的诱集物有关。放置在棉田周围林带中的诱集箱诱集的十一星瓢虫数量最多,其次是棉田埂箱,棉田内诱集的数量最少;诱集箱放入蜂蜜和花粉蜜诱集的十一星瓢虫数量最多,放入花粉诱集的十一星瓢虫数量次之,不放任何诱集物诱集的十一星瓢虫数量最少。越冬后的十一星瓢虫早期释放到棉田中心蚜株上可以有效防治蚜虫危害,中心蚜株株高比未释放瓢虫处理的增高59.5%,果枝数增加20.3%、蕾数增加100%、铃数增加81.4%,单株产量增加81.1%。     

网箱培育军曹鱼亲鱼及人工育苗研究

12月底从海上网箱挑选14尾1 5龄以上,健康、外表无伤的军曹鱼(Rachycentron cana dum),移至陆地盖有顶棚的大水泥池进行强化培育。经过4个月左右的培养,结果显示,亲鱼在陆地强化培育比在海区网箱提前约7 d成熟并自然产卵。受精卵在室内育苗池进行人工育苗,在海水比重为1. 020±0. 5,pH 8 1~8 4,水温在27. 0、29. 2 ℃时,仔鱼孵出时间分别为26、24 h,孵化率为88 .8%~93 .5%。孵出后的仔鱼在第7~9天为死亡高峰期,第11天左右的仔鱼体色有明显的变化,由棕红色变为黑色。经过1个月的培养,仔鱼的成活率约为9%。     

Partial replacement of fishmeal by soybean meal in diets for juvenile cobia (Rachycentron canadum)

An 8‐week feeding experiment was conducted in floating cages (1.5 × 1.0 × 2.0 m) to determine the potential use of defatted soybean meal (roasted and solvent‐extracted) as a partial replacement of fishmeal in the isonitrogenous (approximately 450 g kg^?1 CP [crude protein]) diet for juvenile cobia with an initial average weight of about 8.3 g. Diets were formulated to include 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 g kg^?1 (diets D0, D10, D20, D30, D40, D50 and D60, respectively) of fishmeal protein being substituted by defatted soybean meal without methionine supplementation. The results showed that weight gain rate decreased significantly when the replacement level of fishmeal protein was increased from 400 g kg^?1 to 500 g kg^?1, and the D60 diet was the lowest in all groups. These results indicate that up to 400 g kg^?1 of fishmeal protein can be replaced by defatted soybean meal without causing significant reduction in growth. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were significantly affected by the replacement level of fishmeal protein being substituted by defatted soybean meal, when the replacement level of fishmeal protein was 200 g kg^?1 (diet, D20), FCR was the lowest and PER was the highest. There were no significant differences in the moisture, lipid, crude protein and ash content in whole body and muscle, while lipid content in liver increased as the dietary soybean meal replacement levels increased. There were significant differences in haemoglobin, haematocrit, red blood cell, plasma glucose and triglyceride concentration in fish fed diets with different soybean meal replacement levels. Results of this trial indicated that the optimum level of fishmeal protein replacement with defatted soybean meal, determined by quadratic regression analysis was 189.2 g kg^?1, on the basis of maximum weight gain.
