RNA concentrations and enzyme activities are often used as indices of recent growth in fish, but few studies have used both
methods to assess the same fish. This study measured RNA concentrations and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in muscle
tissue of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to compare their usefulness for reflecting specific growth rates, and to determine whether either growth index was influenced
by diel variations or time of feeding. Three groups (n = 54 in total) were fed 1.5% of body weight in commercial pellets in
four feedings per day. One group was fed only in the morning (0830–1230h), one in the afternoon (1430–1830h), and one in the
morning and afternoon (0830–1830h). At the end of ten days, fish were sampled at three times (0130h, 1030h, 1630h) over a
single 24h period. Correlations to specific growth rate were slightly higher for RNA concentrations than for ODC activity,
but both were highly significant. RNA and ODC activity were also correlated to each other. These results suggest that RNA
concentration and ODC activity, taken together, can be used to monitor changes in both the numbers and activity of ribosomes.
For RNA concentrations, there was no evidence of an effect of diel variations or the time of feeding. For ODC activity, a
significant diel effect (all feed schedules combined) was detected if one non-growing fish was excluded from the analysis;
activity of the enzyme was slightly higher in the sample taken at night (0130h) than in the two daytime samples.

Reconstructing past ocean pH-depth profiles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Measurement of boron isotope compositions in species of planktonic foraminifera that calcified their tests at different depths in the water column are used to reconstruct the pH profile of the upper water column of the tropical ocean. Results for five time windows from the middle Miocene to the late Pleistocene indicate pH-depth profiles similar to that of the modern ocean in this area, which suggests that this method may greatly aid in our understanding of the global carbon cycle. 相似文献

Free-standing aligned carbon nanotubes have previously been grown above 700 degreesC on mesoporous silica embedded with iron nanoparticles. Here, carbon nanotubes aligned over areas up to several square centimeters were grown on nickel-coated glass below 666 degreesC by plasma-enhanced hot filament chemical vapor deposition. Acetylene gas was used as the carbon source and ammonia gas was used as a catalyst and dilution gas. Nanotubes with controllable diameters from 20 to 400 nanometers and lengths from 0. 1 to 50 micrometers were obtained. Using this method, large panels of aligned carbon nanotubes can be made under conditions that are suitable for device fabrication. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to determine the optimal stocking density for rearing juvenile spotted wolffish, Anarhichas minor (Olafsen), at two different sizes and assess the welfare status in relation to density. No major growth impairment was observed, although smaller fish (50–100 g) were significantly affected by density during the 120 days of the experiment, with final mean weights of 119.6 ± 11.6, 118.0 ± 5.8 and 88.7 ± 0.6 g for initial rearing densities of 10, 20 and 40 kg m?2 respectively. No effect of rearing density was seen for larger fish (100–160 g) during the 90 days of the experiment, with final mean weights of 160.2 ± 5.9, 159.7 ± 3.7 and 163.7 ± 11.5 g at fixed rearing densities of 20, 30 and 40 kg m?2 respectively. Our results suggest that the optimal rearing density of juvenile spotted wolffish is below 40 kg m?2 for smaller size fish (~50–100 g) and probably ≥40 kg m?2 for the larger fish (100–160 g). Furthermore, it appears that the range of rearing density used did not have a significant effect on a selection of stress indicators (Na+ and K+ concentration, haematocrit, hepatosomatic index, total amount of plasma proteins and liver and muscle water content) and immunity response (plasma lysozyme activity) of juvenile spotted wolffish, making it a very tolerant species to crowding. 相似文献

In this study, groups of diploid (control) and triploid brook trout were subjected to a 5 min acute handling/confinement stress.
Blood samples were collected from equal numbers of diploid and triploid fish at regular predetermined intervals, beginning
prior to confinement and continuing for up to 3h after confinement. These blood samples were used for the measurement of hematocrit
and plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations. The effects of cohort sampling and the diel cycle on these variables were
also analysed. Except for minor differences, both groups responded similarly to the acute stress, with short-term elevations
in plasma cortisol and hematocrit levels, and a more sustained increase in plasma glucose levels. No significant differences
were found between diploid and triploid fish in their reactions to cohort sampling. However, the act of removing an individual
from a tank caused significant changes in plasma cortisol levels in cohorts remaining in that tank (p < 0.001). Significant
diel effects were observed for both ploidy groups in plasma cortisol (p < 0.05) but not in plasma glucose or hematocrit.
