Apparent digestibility coefficients of feed ingredients and their predictability in compound diets for gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata L.

Apparent digestibility of crude protein, amino acids, lipid, carbohydrate and energy was measured for a range of feed ingredients fed to gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata L. — fish meal, poultry meal, meat meal, blood meal, squid meal, extracted soyabean and wheat flour. Chromic oxide was used as a non-absorbed reference substance and faeces were collected by stripping. Diets compounded from mixtures of these ingredients were then used to examine the possibility of predicting the digestibility of formulated diets.
Apparent digestibility of crude protein ranged from 79% to 90%, lipids from 83% to 95% and energy from 72% to 88% in the different ingredients. Apparent digestibility of carbohydrates was lower and ranged from 49% to 77%. Apparent digestibility of amino acids was higher than that of crude protein and differences were found among digestibilities of individual amino acids.
Tests conducted using five compound diets indicated that ingredient digestibility was additive for protein, amino acids, lipids and energy, whereas the digestibility of carbohydrates in the compound feeds was slightly lower than predicted.
Diets for Sparus aurata may thus be formulated on the basis of digestibility of individual ingredients.     

Partial replacement of fishmeal with Clostridium autoethanogenum single‐cell protein in the diet for juvenile black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii)

Clostridium autoethanogenum protein (CAP) is a single‐cell protein derived from ethanol production and may have potential to become a substitute for fishmeal in aquafeeds. A 70‐day feeding trial was conducted with black sea bream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii) (mean initial weight 6.03 ± 0.09 g) to evaluate partial replacement of fishmeal with CAP in diets. Seven isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were formulated with graded levels of CAP (0, 4.85, 9.70, 14.55, 19.40, 38.80 and 58.20%) to replace fishmeal. The inclusion of CAP at all dietary levels tested did not significantly affect the growth performance (p > .05). Fish fed the CAP58.20% diet showed a significantly lower feeding rate, with significantly higher protein efficiency ratio and feed efficiency ratio compared with fish fed the other diets (p < .05). No statistical differences were found in dorsal muscle and whole‐body compositions. Total superoxide dismutase in serum of fish fed CAP58.20% diet was significantly lower compared with that of the control. Malondialdehyde, catalase, total antioxidant capacity and digestive enzyme activities revealed no significant differences among dietary treatments. Phosphorus retention efficiency significantly increased, and phosphorus discharge showed a downward trend with increasing CAP inclusion levels. In conclusion, the results indicated that CAP is a safe and effective alternative protein source, which can replace fishmeal in the diet of black sea bream up to 58.20%, without adverse effects on growth performance, antioxidation and digestive enzyme activity. This study has shown the potential of converting industrial waste into a high protein feed ingredient for aquafeeds.     

Dispersal of black sea bass (Centropristis striata) larvae on the southeast U.S. continental shelf: results of a coupled vertical larval behavior – 3D circulation model

In the marine environment, pelagic dispersal is important for determining the distribution and abundance of populations, as well as providing connections among populations. Estimates of larval dispersal from spawning grounds are important to determining temporal and spatial patterns in recruitment that may have significant influences on the dynamics of the population. We present a case study of the dispersal of Centropristis striata (black sea bass) larvae on the southeast U.S. continental shelf. We use a coupled larval behavior – 3D circulation model to compare the effects of the timing and location of spawning against that of larval vertical migration on larval dispersal. Using the results of field data on larval vertical distributions, we compare the dispersal of virtual 'larvae' which have ontogenetic changes in vertical behavior with that of particles fixed near the surface and near the bottom. Larvae were released at potential spawning sites four times throughout the spawning season (February through May) for 3 yr (2002–04) and tracked for the assumed larval duration (from 27 to 37 days including the egg stage). Results indicate that adult behavior, in the form of spawning time and location, may be more important than larval vertical behavior in determining larval dispersal on the inner- and mid- continental shelves of this region.

扑草净用于仿刺参养殖塘的安全性研究──基于营养盐在生物沉积物-水界面扩散的视角

温带海域普遍养殖仿刺参,仿刺参养殖塘中常有大型藻类爆发,进而影响仿刺参的生长和生存。通常用扑草净清除大型藻类,由于除草剂的生态毒性,可推断扑草净将影响仿刺参生物沉积物中营养盐的再生,本研究则要验证该假说。将仿刺参生物沉积物暴露于不同浓度的扑草净7天,并测定生物沉积物-水界面营养盐的扩散通量。结果表明:在正常使用的去除大型藻类的扑草净剂量之下,营养盐在仿刺参生物沉积物-水界面的扩散通量不受扑草净的影响。按正常剂量使用扑草净并不影响仿刺参生物沉积物中营养盐的再生与积聚,无需对扑草净对营养盐水平的影响而担忧。研究结果将有助于评估除草剂对海水中营养盐循环的影响。

Corrosion behavior and mechanism of AZ40magnesium alloy in simulated sea water

Tafel polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were employed to investigate the corrosion behavior of AZ40 magnesium alloy in simulated sea water. The surface morphology of the alloy during exposure was observed with an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The pH variation of bulk solution during corrosion was recorded. The results show that the major corrosin forms of AZ40 magnesium alloy in simulated sea water were characterized by pitting and filliform corrosion. The corrosion occurs spontanesously. The insovable corrosion products, which precip it ate on the alloy surface were characterized by porsity and hetorogeneity, indicating that these products can not prerent further alloy corrosion. Therefore, the corrosion of AZ40 magnesium alloy spreads rapidly and the alloy surface is destroyed severely during short exposure period. 

中国沙棘和俄罗斯沙棘在不同土壤水分条件下保护酶系统和丙二醛的变化

在野外不同生境和田间不同干旱条件下对中国沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides sinensis)和俄罗斯沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides)的SOD,CAT和MDA进行研究后发现,野外沟底土壤水分含量显著高于坡上土壤水分含量,因此,沟底中国沙棘叶片的SOD,CAT活性高于坡上,MDA含量则为坡上植株高于沟底植株。田间不同干旱胁迫条件下,随着土壤含水量的降低,沙棘叶片中的SOD活性在胁迫初期显著降低,随着干旱胁迫时间的延长持续降低,沙棘叶片SOD活性表现为中国沙棘雄株>俄罗斯沙棘雌株>俄罗斯沙棘雄株>中国沙棘雌株;CAT活性在胁迫初期有所升高,之后开始逐渐下降,种间的差异为中国沙棘高于俄罗斯沙棘,雌、雄株的差异为雌株高于雄株;膜脂过氧化物质MDA的含量随着干旱胁迫程度的增加和胁迫时间的延长持续增加,雌株叶片内MDA含量高于雄株,中国沙棘的MDA含量高于俄罗斯沙棘。

为了研究其对肿瘤小鼠的抑瘤作用,以及对免疫器官的影响。从海参废液中提取海参皂苷,通过建立S180皮下肿瘤小鼠模型,采用经口灌胃和腹腔注射2种方式给药后,将小鼠称重,断颈处死,然后剥离的肿瘤组织、胸腺、脾脏,称重并进行统计学分析。结果表明：海参皂苷能显著抑制S180皮下瘤小鼠的肿瘤生长;通过2种给药方式相比较,腹腔注射给药方式抑瘤效果(60.29%,P＜0.01)明显优于经口灌胃给药方式(37.70%;P＜0.05);与阳性对照环磷酰胺相比,海参皂苷对小鼠的生长影响较小,而且提高小鼠的脾脏指数和胸腺指数,对小鼠免疫器官有促进作用。本实验为今后海参皂苷抗肿瘤活性的进一步研究提供了有效依据。
