Effect of vitamin B12 and taurine on the alleviation of nutritional anaemia in common sole (Solea solea)

Sole fed commercial pellets develop a nutritional anaemia. This study assessed the impact of dietary B12 and taurine on the haematocrit (Hct) and haemoglobin (Hb) level and mineral absorption in anaemic sole. Anaemic sole was fed one of four diets. Diets were equal regarding mineral, amino acid and macronutrient composition and formulated, according to a two by two factorial design: two B12 (0.34 vs. 1.9 mg kg dm^?1) and two taurine levels (3.5 vs. 7.6 mg kg dm^?1). The feeding level was restricted and equal for all diets. Hct and Hb levels in anaemic sole are influenced by dietary B12. A “high” level of B12 increases the Hct and Hb level. An increasing level of taurine suppresses the stimulating effect of the “high” level of B12. The applied B12 and taurine levels were unable to completely alleviate the anaemia in sole. Nevertheless, sole needs high dietary levels of B12 to alleviate anaemia. The impact of B12 and taurine on Hb and Hct was not related to a change in the absorption of iron. A “high” level of B12 positively affected the absorption of chromium and a high level of taurine negatively affected the absorption of cobalt in sole.     

Spatial differentiation in the eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna revealed by microsatellite variation

ABSTRACT:   Five eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna samples (four northern: 10–25°N, 95–130°W, and one southern: 16–18°S, 95–97°W), collected from fishing vessels between 1994 and 2002 were analyzed for variation at seven microsatellite loci to evaluate their spatial genetic homogeneity. Single-locus homogeneity exact tests revealed significant genetic differentiation caused by three of seven loci. Pairwise sample comparisons of multilocus allele-frequency homogeneity tests and subpopulation division ( F _ST), revealed significant differentiation in comparisons between north equatorial samples and the south equatorial sample. amova analysis among collections grouped as northern and southern populations separated by the equator in the eastern Pacific confirmed the differentiation observed. These results may be considered as preliminary evidence of the presence of discrete populations in the eastern Pacific yellowfin tuna. The possibility that the spatial differentiation observed corresponds to temporal variation or non-random sampling cannot be discarded. The genetic differences encountered need to be corroborated by increasing sample sizes, including temporal replicates, and by the use of an alternative marker.     

中西太平洋金枪鱼围网黄鳍金枪鱼渔获时空分析

中西太平洋的金枪鱼围网渔业目前的年产量约在1×106t左右,其中黄鳍金枪鱼占有很重要的地位。本文通过对围网捕获的黄鳍金枪鱼渔获数据进行时间序列以及空间位置变化等时空分析,试图找出其变化规律以及趋势。结果表明,20世纪70年代以来,随着渔船数的增加,中西太平洋围网捕获的黄鳍金枪鱼渔获量分布,从太平洋岛屿近海逐渐向太平洋热带中部海域扩展。渔获量经度重心随着中西太平洋金枪鱼围网渔业的发展有向东移动的趋势,70年代在128°E附近,到80年代在145°E左右,90年代在152°E左右,近年在155°E左右。而黄鳍金枪鱼渔获量纬度重心位于赤道区域,70年代在3°30′N附近,80年代在0°30′N左右,90年代在0°40′S左右,近年在1°20′S左右。经纬度5°×5°小区范围内10年内的最高总产量则从70年代的8×104t,增加到90年代超过20×104t。渔获量空间分布除了随着渔业发展向外海扩展以外,还受到被称为南方涛动的ENSO现象的明显影响,一般来说渔获量经度中心在厄尔尼诺年比较偏东,在拉尼娜年比较偏西,渔获量纬度重心在厄尔尼诺年或次年比较偏南,在拉尼娜次年比较偏北。此外,黄鳍金枪鱼渔获量经度重心在厄尔尼诺年变化比较大,渔获量纬度重心在厄尔尼诺年或次年变化比较大。     

花生复合系统土壤水分动态与平衡特征研究

花生复合系统是促进低丘红壤区农业水分资源综合利用的重要耕作方式,其在不同时段水分动态、水分平衡和利用过程差异值得进一步探索。土壤表层采用15 bar的先进负压计监测,结合定位法于2001—2003年监测收集了花生生长季花生复合系统、花生单作田间土壤水分、地表径流、降雨资料,分析了花生复合系统对土壤水分动态、降雨影响和水分平衡各要素的影响。分析表明,土壤10 cm与 60 cm水分单作花生地与复合系统在雨季无明显差异,但受降雨过程影响。旱季单作花生10 cm水势降到最低值-344.0 kPa,复合系统水势最低值为-50.6 kPa,60 cm单作花生地水势数值也低于复合系统花生地,旱季复合系统能减少土壤表层的蒸发。3年土壤水分周期动态可分为3个阶段,即水分盈余期、水分消耗期、水分稳定期。花生复合系统旱季表现出较强的耗水作用,2001年7月贮水量减少108.8 mm,2002年8月贮水量减少111.7 mm,2003年7月贮水量减少105.5 mm。花生复合系统平均渗漏量低于花生单作62.2 mm,平均贮水量变化低于花生单作41.8 mm。桔树与花生作物在旱季水分利用方面没有明显的竞争作用,花生复合系统系统的表土水分保持作用和生态效应明显。

Effect of water surface condition on survival,growth and swim bladder inflation of yellowfin tuna,Thunnus albacares (Temminck and Schlegel), larvae

Early‐stage mortality due to surface water tension‐related death and due to sinking to the tank bottom was investigated for yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares (YFT), larvae. Different aeration rates and rearing water surface conditions were examined to evaluate the effect on larval survival, swim bladder inflation and growth. The percentage survival of yolk sac larvae was significantly higher when the rearing water surface was covered with fish oil at aeration rates of 0 and 50 mL min^?1. The highest mortality occurred at the highest aeration rate of 250 mL min^?1 regardless of surface water condition. A second experiment was conducted twice under different water surface conditions: the water surface was covered by fish oil (FO), skimmed of fish oil (SS), and was not treated (NC). The percentage survival was not significantly different between treatments after 7 days of feeding. In contrast to the survival, the proportion of larvae with inflated swim bladders was significantly higher for the NC and SS groups than that of the FO group. Results of these experiments indicate that the addition of oil to the rearing water surface without its removal interferes with the initial swim bladder inflation in YFT larvae. These results also indicate that YFT larvae need to obtain (gulp) air at the water surface for initial swim bladder inflation, and success of initial swim bladder inflation may be crucial for their survival.     

已充分开发渔业中估计最大可持续产量的一种近似方法

以印度洋黄鳍金枪鱼渔业为例,应用Grainger和Garcia提出的年渔获量相对增长率（RRCI）的概念,估算其最大可持续产量（MSY）近似值,并与利用其它方法估算的结果进行比较。研究结果表明,当RRCI=O时,印度洋黄鳍金枪鱼渔业MSY近似值为33．75t,比PeUa—Tomlinson模型的预测结果低3％。用本文方法只需计算年渔获量相对增长率,即可获得MSY的近似值,因此本方法可作为对常规评估模型方法的有益补充。

Ultrasonographic Imaging and Thickness Measurement of the Sole Horn and the Underlying Soft Tissue Layer in Bovine Claws

Ultrasonographic imaging and thickness measurements of sole horn and underlying soft tissue layer were evaluated in 100 bovine claw specimens. The claws were trimmed and examined in longitudinal planes using a 7.5 MHz linear transducer. The sole horn, underlying soft tissue layer and distal surface of the distal phalanx of all claws were clearly visualized. The sole horn had a heterogeneous hypoechoic appearance; the underlying soft tissue layer was predominantly anechoic. Corium and subcutis could be differentiated. The best imaging of these structures was achieved in claws with less than 10 mm sole horn thickness and soft sole horn. Imaging of the dorsal wall structures was more difficult. In each claw, B- and A-mode measurements of horn thickness of sole and dorsal wall and distance from outer claw surface to distal phalanx surface were made at three marked points on the weightbearing surface and at one point on the dorsal wall. In 10 claws, CT-images were taken and the horn density was determined. All claws were then frozen, transected and anatomical reference measurements were made after thawing. Statistical correlation coefficients of 0.88 and higher were found for B-mode ultrasonographic and anatomical measurements of sole horn thickness. A-mode proved not to be useful for the sole horn thickness measurement. B-mode ultrasonography was carried out successfully in the claws of five living cattle.
