氨氮与亚硝酸盐对吉富罗非鱼肠道菌群的影响

氨氮和亚硝酸盐是蛋白质的代谢副产物,水体中高浓度的氨氮和亚硝酸盐会显著抑制罗非鱼的免疫力。肠道微生物与鱼类的免疫息息相关,然而氨氮和亚硝酸盐是否影响罗非鱼的肠道微生物仍不清楚。本研究采用基于16S rDNA基因序列的高通量测序,研究了氨氮和亚硝酸盐对吉富罗非鱼肠道菌群的影响。结果表明,罗非鱼肠道微生物群落主要以变形菌门和放线菌门为主。氨氮和亚硝酸盐不改变罗非鱼肠道菌群的alpha多样性,但显著改变物种组成,其中Aurantimicrobium菌属在两种处理下比例显著降低。原核类群功能注释(FAPROTAX)分析表明,氨氮和亚硝酸盐胁迫导致的差异ASVs主要涉及化能异养、好氧化能异养、硝酸盐还原、脂肪族非甲烷烃降解、芳香烃降解和芳香族化合物降解。本研究通过了解氨氮和亚硝酸盐对罗非鱼肠道微生物的影响,为研究肠道微生物对罗非鱼免疫的影响奠定基础。     

尼罗罗非鱼对嗜水气单胞菌的免疫反应

将嗜水气单胞菌用福尔马林灭活后,接种尼罗罗非鱼,测定其血清凝集抗体效价及攻毒后的免疫保护力。结果表明,灭活菌苗对尼罗罗非鱼有较强的免疫原性,免疫鱼具有很强的免疫保护力。小个体鱼的浸浴接种效果强于大个体。     

Enhancing Growth of Common Carp, Rohu and Mozambique Tilapia through Plant Substrate: The Role of Bacterial Biofilm

Experiments were conducted to enhance the growth of common carp (Cyprinus carpio), rohu (Labeo rohita) and Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) through use of sugarcane bagasse as substrate. Bagasse was suspended in water with or without supplementation with fertilizers. Bagasse supplemented with cattle dung and urea favoured higher zooplankton production and significantly (p < 0.05) increased fish growth by over 50% compared to bagasse or fertilizers on their own. This higher production of fish is attributed to bacterial biofilm promoted on the substrate which, apart from forming food for zooplankton and fish, contributed to improved water quality by lowering ammonia.     

MC与MG对尼罗罗非鱼和大口黑鲈游泳行为的影响

尼罗罗非鱼(Tilapia nilotica)和大口黑鲈(Micropterus salmoide)是中国主要的淡水经济鱼类,其养殖过程中常遇到微囊藻毒素(Microcystin,MC)与孔雀石绿(Malachite green,MG)的危害。MC和MG通过食物链在人体中富集,给人类的健康造成了严重的威胁。研究测定了人工饲养的尼罗罗非鱼和大口黑鲈在含有MC和MG的水体中的行为反应。结果表明,尼罗罗非鱼和大口黑鲈在0.2和0.5μg/L MC-LR的水体中处理60min内,其游泳行为相对于对照组无显著性差异,然而,在0.5mg/L MG的水体中处理30min后,尼罗罗非鱼胸鳍摆动频显著上升,大口黑鲈胸鳍摆动频率也在25、30、45min等3个不连续的时间点出现显著的变化。说明尼罗罗非鱼和大口黑鲈对天然毒素MC具有较强的抵抗能力,而对人工毒素MG较为敏感;胸鳍摆动频率可作为尼罗罗非鱼和大口黑鲈一个较为敏感的反映环境变化的行为指标。     

罗非鱼(Tilapia)鱼皮提取明胶的工艺优化

以罗非鱼(Tilapia)鱼皮为原料,分别用碱法、酸法、酶法进行前处理,对3种方法的提取效果进行比较,筛选出最佳水解方法为酶法。优化了酶法处理后的漂白、熬胶工艺,获得鱼皮提取明胶的最佳工艺。结果显示,前处理采用0.2%的混合酶,调p H值至3.5,于40℃水浴中酶水解鱼皮1 h,用6%高锰酸钾溶液进行氧化漂白3 h,再用1.5%草酸溶液进行还原漂白45 min。控制p H值为5?6,分3次熬胶,每次分别将水浴加热升温至60℃、65℃、70℃,各加热2 h,过滤后将3次胶液合并,在真空度不低于500 mm Hg,温度不超过60℃的情况下浓缩至20%左右。然后在60℃的鼓风干燥箱干燥至明胶含水量14%以下,经粉碎机粉碎,即可得成品明胶。该工艺产品得率19.93%(湿基)、粘度13.1 m Pa·s、凝胶强度1034.3 g/cm2。     

太湖微囊藻毒素在罗非鱼体内累积及生物降解的初步研究

为了解蓝藻水华期间微囊藻毒素在罗非鱼体内的分布及累积传递过程,2008年6～8月采集了高密度蓝藻池塘及太湖网箱内的鱼样及水样,用ELISA法对鱼样和水样进行微囊藻毒素MC-LR含量的检测。结果表明,池塘水体微囊藻毒素MC-LR含量在0.123～0.514μg/L,MC-LR含量随着藻密度的下降而降低,对照组水体MC-LR浓度显著高于实验组MC-LR含量。池塘鱼体肌肉组织微囊藻毒素MC-LR累积含量在1.194～3.615ng/g,肝脏组织微囊藻毒素MC-LR累积含量显著高于肌肉组织。将池塘与网箱罗非鱼转至无微囊藻水体中暂养,跟踪检测MC-LR含量变化,池塘和网箱鱼体肌肉组织微囊藻毒素MC-LR含量均低于人体每日可耐受摄入量,而肝脏组织藻毒素MC-LR含量则分别需要经过10～20d自然生物降解后降低至安全摄入量之下。讨论了微囊藻毒素在鱼体组织分布与食物链中的累积传递。     

Effects of Manipulation of Proteases on Myofibril Protein Degradation of Tilapia Muscle in vitro and in vivo

This study investigated the role of three proteases in myofibril degradation. Tilapia muscle was soaked in MDL-28170, E-64, and AC-DEVD-CHO, specific inhibitors of calpain, cathepsin, and caspase, respectively, for 14 days to determine the in vivo degradation of myofibril. Desmin and troponin T were significantly inhibited after treatment with inhibitors compared to the control (p < .05). For in vitro analyses, myofibril was incubated with recombinant active μ-calpain, cathepsin B, and caspase-3. Desmin was significantly reduced when incubated with recombinant proteases (p < .05). However, troponin T showed significant degradation only in the μ-calpain and cathepsin B treatment groups (p < .05). Our results reveal μ-calpain and cathespin B have similar degradation patterns, while caspase-3 has partly similar degradation for myofibril in vivo and in vitro. This suggests that μ-calpain and cathespin B are the main proteases responsible for post-mortem myofibril degradation, while caspase-3 is minor.     

Leukocyte response and phagocytic activity in Nile tilapia experimentally infected with <Emphasis Type="Italic">Enterococcus</Emphasis> sp.

This study evaluated the total and differential leukocyte counting and the phagocytic activity in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus experimentally injected with Enterococcus sp. in the swim bladder. Fish were distributed in four treatments in triplicates of non-injected fish, fish injected with 1 ml of sterile saline solution 0.65%, and fish injected with 1 × 10³ and 1 × 10⁶ colony-forming units (CFU) of Enterococcus diluted in 1 ml sterile saline. Twenty-four hours after injection, the fish were anesthetized and the blood collected for white blood cell (WBC) counts, differential counting of WBC, and phagocytic activity of blood leukocytes. The increased numbers of WBC and lymphocytes were followed by decreased number of monocyte after infection. The percentages of phagocytic activities in the blood were 55.3 and 55.9%, respectively, in tilapia injected with 1 × 10³ and 1 × 10⁶ CFU/ml.
