采用DNA条形码技术,对珠海出入境检验检疫局从南非进口的鲜橙和鲜葡萄中截获的3头卷蛾幼虫进行分子鉴定,采用通用引物LC01490/HC02198对其线粒体C0I基因的部分序列进行PCR扩增和测序,并与GenBank数据库和DNA条形码数据库BOLDSYSTEMS v3中的已知序列比对,结果与GenBank中20条苹果异胫小卷蛾的序列同源性达99％以上,与BOLDSYSTEMS v3中46条苹果异胫小卷蛾的序列同源性达99％.结合幼虫的形态特征,综合判定该幼虫为苹果异胫小卷蛾Thaumatotibia leucotreta.     

甘薯麦蛾(鳞翅目:麦蛾科)幼虫及其被寄生幼虫田间分布图式的测定

本文就田间调查9组资料,应用Iwao的方法,分别对甘薯麦蛾(Brachmia triannuella)幼虫的空间分布图式以及被寄生幼虫和被寄生后幸存幼虫空间分布图式进行测定.结果表明:(1)甘薯麦蛾幼虫在薯田呈聚集图式.其分布的基本成分是个体群,个体群的分布是随机的,个体群内的分布也是随机的;个体群较致密,且大小约相等,个体群的平均面积约为0.56—1.12m~2.(2)被寄生幼虫的分布图式呈聚集型,说明甘薯麦蛾幼虫寄生蜂趋群集寄生.(3)被寄生后幸存幼虫的分布图式和原来的幼虫图式一样,都是聚集型,即Neyman A型,虽然有些田块幼虫被寄生率高达37.62％,但是寄生蜂的作用还未足以使寄主空间分布图式改变.     

红缘天牛越冬幼虫耐寒性研究

旨在探索红缘天牛越冬幼虫的耐寒性。采用热电偶法和昆虫生理生化的主要研究方法,测定越冬幼虫的过冷却点、冰点、含水率、脂肪含量、糖原含量和血淋巴中游离氨基酸种类及质量浓度,并分析上述指标变化与幼虫耐寒性的关系。结果表明:不同大小幼虫的过冷却点与冰点均无显著差异(P0.05);幼虫经5℃1d处理后,过冷却点升高,冰点降低,均呈现显著差异(P0.05);含水率由71.89%减至69.97%;血淋巴液中谷氨酸、缬氨酸、蛋氨酸、苯丙氨酸、赖氨酸、组氨酸、精氨酸和脯氨酸占总量的百分比均有所提高;脂肪和糖原含量变化差异不显著(P0.05)。研究结果说明:红缘天牛越冬幼虫具有较强的过冷却能力,通过调节血淋巴液中氨基酸质量浓度的变化抵御短时间低温环境变化,提高其对寒冷的适应能力。     

日本鳗鲡幼体的耳石微化学分析及其环境指示元素筛选

在长江口日本鳗鲡鳗苗捕捞汛期,于长江靖江段采集日本鳗鲡幼体,采用同步辐射X射线荧光(XRF)定量分析方法测定了幼体矢耳石中14种元素的含量,分析了在海洋与淡水早期生活史阶段的微化学特征。结果显示,耳石中Ca和Sr为常量元素,Ba、Fe、Mn、Zn的含量也在1-10μg/g之间,Cr、Ni、Se、Co、Cu、Au则在1 mg/g以下。Ni、Cu、Mn、Cr、Co、Zn和Sr含量的稳定性较好,变异系数在30%以下;Se、Au的含量低且极不稳定,变异系数达40.8-75.0%;Fe在不同个体间存在显著的含量差异(p=0.007<0.05),但其他元素不存在个体差异。在海洋生活史阶段,Mn、Se、Co、Ba为强富集元素(BCFa-e >1000),Sr、Fe、Zn、Ni、Cu为中等富集元素(BCFa-e在100~1000)。除Sr、Ba和Se外,卵黄囊期和柳叶鳗期的耳石富集系数并无显著差异(p>0.05)。在淡水生活史阶段,Sr和Co为强富集元素(BCFa-e >1000),Se、Zn、Cu、Ba、Mn为中等富集元素(BCFa-e在100~1000),Ni、Fe为低富集元素(BCFa-e在10~100)。与海水阶段相比,耳石在淡水阶段的Fe、Ba、Mn、Se、Co、Ni富集系数均大幅减小,而对Sr、Zn、Cu的富集能力有所增大。分析表明,耳石内的Sr、Ba、Ni、Co为环境强响应元素,Fe和Mn为环境弱响应元素,Zn、Cu和Se为环境负响应元素,幼鳗自海洋至淡水的迁徙过程中,前者存在明显的时滞效应,但后两者的日间含量波动较大,缺乏响应的规律性。本文认为,用作鱼类迁移行为或栖息地环境变化的指示元素,需要具备耳石富集效应强、时滞效应小、不同环境间含量差异大、稳定性好、且为非必需元素等特点。从本研究结果看,只有Sr和Ba两种元素符合这些条件 。     

Effects of commonly used disinfectants on bacterial load,hatchability and survival of Bluefin Sea bream (Sparidentex hasta) eggs

The efficacy of four chemical reagents, iodophor, formalin, hydrogen peroxide and bronopol as fish egg surface disinfectants were evaluated in bluefin sea bream (Sparidentex hasta). Fertilized eggs were counted and subjected to a static bath dip treatment in different concentrations of the above chemicals for 4 min before being incubated at 20 ± 0.5°C for 40 h. Treatment efficacy of the different disinfectants was evaluated by assessing the bactericidal activity, egg hatch percentage and survival of larvae up to 3 days post hatch. Results showed that iodophor at medium concentrations (75 and 100 ppm) was the best of all tested disinfectants in bacterial killing ability (12% reduction in the bacterial counts), egg hatching per cent (99.8% and 99.6% respectively) and larval survival up to 3 days post hatch (50.8% and 54.8% respectively). Formalin was the second best disinfectant at levels of 100 and 150 ppm. Hydrogen peroxide gave good results compared with the control while, bronopol showed discouraging results. In conclusion, iodophor appeared to be suitable for bluefin sea bream eggs disinfection with a 4 min exposure to 75–100 ppm when applied 14–16 h after egg fertilization.     

Rotifers enriched with iodine,copper and manganese had no effect on larval cod (Gadus morhua) growth,mineral status or redox system gene mRNA levels

It currently remains unclear if rotifers contain sufficient mineral levels to meet larval fish requirements. In this study, rotifers were enriched with a commercial enrichment (control), or with additional iodine, iodine and copper, or iodine, copper and manganese, and the effects of feeding these rotifers to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae from 3 to 18 days post hatch were investigated. Rotifer enrichment with minerals was successful, but Mn enrichment also increased rotifer zinc levels. No differences were observed between treatments in larval growth or survival, or in the mRNA levels in the majority of the redox system genes analysed. Only Zn levels increased in cod larvae in response to mineral enrichment of rotifers. Apart from Zn, little evidence was found to suggest that cod larvae require increased concentrations above the control rotifer levels of the essential elements studied here.     

The first‐feeding response of larval southern bluefin tuna,Thunnus maccoyii (Castelnau, 1872), and yellowtail kingfish,Seriola lalandi (Valenciennes, 1833), to prey density,prey size and larval density

We investigated the first‐feeding success of two species: southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) and yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) to determine if similar culture parameters can be used for both, especially when S. lalandi are held in the same tanks as prey for T. maccoyii. The feeding performance (proportion and intensity) was examined in three short‐duration (4 h) experiments: prey density, prey size and larval density. Increasing prey density from 0.5 to 25 rotifers mL^?1 increased the proportion of T. maccoyii and S. lalandi larvae feeding. Prey size alone did not affect feeding in either species. Seriola lalandi had a decreased proportion of larvae feeding when larval density reached 50 larvae L^?1 concurrent with a gradual increase in feeding intensity between 2 and 50 larvae L^?1. In T. maccoyii, there was no pattern to the effect of larval density on the proportion of larvae feeding. The overall feeding performance of larvae was higher in T. maccoyii than S. lalandi. Increased prey density improved the first‐feeding ability of T. maccoyii and S. lalandi larvae. The effect of larval density on S. lalandi feeding requires further investigation, to ensure that they remain feeding when provided as prey in T. maccoyii culture. The identification of factors in this study, which increase first‐feeding success, will improve the culture of both species.     

Histological and histochemical changes in the digestive tract of white sturgeon larvae during ontogeny

Ontogenetic changes in digestive tract histology and digestive enzyme histochemistry were investigated 11 to 36 days post-hatch in white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus larvae. From initiation of exogenous feeding (12 days post-hatch), larvae were fed a commercial salmonid diet for the ensuing 24 days. The digestive system of white sturgeon displayed a high degree of morphologic organization and functionality at the onset of exogenous feeding. An enhancement of digestive capacities occurred with transition to active feeding. On day 2 of feeding, there was a clear increase of alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase M, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, and -glutamyl transpeptidase activity in the brush border of the spiral intestine. This strong activity is an apparent confirmation of the importance of this segment of the intestine for protein digestion and nutrient absorption. The functional development of the pyloric intestine occurred on day 4 and was concomitant with an increase in the activity of brush border and cytoplasmic enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase, dipeptidyl peptidase II, - and -galactosidases. The absence of acetylcholinesterase, lactase, nonspecific esterase, and weak activity of exopeptidases and alkaline phosphatase in the anterior intestine suggests that this segment of the intestine may be less important in nutrient absorption than the pyloric and spiral intestines. The observed quantitative and qualitative differences in enzyme activity along the intestine indicate a high degree of specialization of each segment for specific digestive and absorptive processes.
