Growth and production of the Amazonian tambaqui in fixed cages under different feeding regimes

Experimental culture of the native Amazonian fish tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum, in fixed cages was carried out over a period of 8 months, in Lake Urubu (Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil), to assess the viability of fixed cage culture of tambaqui and to test the influence of diet on growth rates. Nine synthetic net cages (1 m³) were each stocked with 45-day-old fish (mean weight 3 g; mean total body length 51 mm) at a density of 34 fry m^–3. During the first 2 months of culture, fish were fed a balanced formulated feed on an as-fed basis at the rate of 5% body weight day^–1. During months 3–8 this continued for fish in treatment 1 while those in treatment 2 were fed tropical regional fruits, on a wet weight basis at the rate of 5% body wt day^–1. Fish in treatment 3 were given no supplementary feed. Monthly biometric measurements were made on all fish. Fixed cage fish culture was shown to be a viable and simple technique. Survival in all treatments was 100%. With balanced supplementary feed, production was 14.4 kg m^–3, compared with 4.9 kg m^–3 and 2.1 kg m^–3, respectively, in the treatments where fish were fed with fruits and were not given any supplementary feed.

Nocturnal feeding reduces sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.) pellet-catching ability

European sea bass exhibits a feeding rhythm with seasonal phase inversions: nocturnal feeding is predominant in winter, and diurnal feeding during the rest of the year. This explains the increased growth of sea bass fed at night during the winter months, but to fully assess such feeding practices, it is important to monitor food-catching efficiency in the dark. To evaluate the influence of nocturnal feeding on pellet-capture efficiency under laboratory conditions, we developed an infrared pellet detector linked to on-line recording with a microcomputer. Feed waste was recorded for eight groups of four sea bass (54.6±15.8 g body weight) fed either diurnal or nocturnal meals with long (>60 s) or short (<20 s) feed availability times. With short feed availability times, food-catching efficiency in complete darkness (0 lx) was reduced to 78.6%, compared to 93.5% in diurnally fed fish. This was confirmed in a second experiment, performed during winter, involving 4000 sea bass in four sea cages (1000 per cage) provided with self-feeders and pellets detectors. Feed waste amounted to less than 13% of the food distributed, but nocturnal demands (29% of total feed demands) were accompanied by higher levels of uneaten pellets (68% of the total feed waste) than diurnal demand. This suggests that if the aim is to reduce feed waste, nocturnal feeding should be restricted in sea cages.     

水下圆形重力式网箱缆绳张力对波、流的响应特性

通过模型试验研究了周长40 m、网高10 m的HDPE圆形升降式网箱沉降在水下时的缆绳张力。试验采用狄克逊准则,模型大比例尺λ=10和小比例尺λa=λd=2;网箱采用网格形式锚泊系统。试验时前主缆绳水平方向与波流夹角为0°,试验流速为0、5、10和15 cm/s,波浪周期范围1.3～2.2 s,波高范围10～30 cm。在各试验条件下对主缆绳和系框绳以及浮框绳张力进行了测试,以受力最大的缆绳为研究对象,分析了缆绳最大张力与波流因子之间的关系。结果显示:①在纯流作用下,前主缆绳受力最大;在纯波作用下,后侧主缆绳受力最大,最大张力随波高增大呈线性增长趋势,随周期变化的影响较小。②在波流作用下,高流速、低波高、高波周期条件时前主缆绳受力最大;在低流速、高波高、低波周期时后侧主缆绳受力最大;前主缆绳受水流作用影响较大,后侧主缆绳受波浪作用影响较大。③在波流作用下,各缆绳最大张力随波高、流速增大而增大,随周期增大而减小;后侧主缆绳最大张力无量纲量随波陡增大且基本呈线性增长趋势。

波浪作用下半潜式养殖网箱水动力特性

半潜式深远海养殖网箱在波浪作用下会发生变形与运动。为保证网箱结构的稳定性,需对其水动力特性进行分析。本研究基于有限元法建立了波浪作用下一种半潜式网箱的数值模型,通过仿真计算求解网箱的锚绳受力与运动情况。首先,将计算机模拟值与物理水槽试验值进行比较,验证数值模型的准确性。然后,分别研究了半潜式网箱在3种压载状态下的动力响应情况,分析比较了不同波浪条件下网箱锚绳张力、垂荡、纵荡和纵摇的计算结果。结果显示,计算值与试验值基本吻合,二者的相对误差在5%左右。当波高一定时,网箱迎浪侧和背浪侧锚绳受力与波浪周期改变无明显关联;当周期一定时,两侧锚绳受力均随波高的增加而增大。网箱的垂荡、纵荡及纵摇值均与波高呈正相关,随着半潜式网箱吃水的增加,网箱的垂荡、纵荡及纵摇值基本呈减小趋势。网箱在3种压载状态下最大垂荡值和纵荡值分别为12.67 m和10.59 m,网箱在空载状态下的最大纵摇值≤15°,表明半潜式网箱结构具有较好的稳定性。研究结果可为我国深远海养殖网箱设计提供理论参考。     

福建省大型抗风浪网箱养殖调查报告

本次调查实地调访了282口网箱,占全省总箱数的65.3%。结果表明,目前福建省抗风浪网箱的养殖种类为真鲷、大黄鱼和美国红鱼,分别占投苗总数的35.9%、24.1%和13.2%,这些种类也是传统网箱养殖的主要种类。抗风浪网箱养殖已呈现出抗台风和环境水质好、病害少、成品鱼品质好、应用海域广阔等优点,养殖真鲷的平均生产水平为9.041 kg/m3,不计设施投资的平均利润率为23.9%,经济效益已初步显现。与传统网箱养殖相比,目前抗风浪网箱养殖苗种个体大、成活率高,但投苗密度低,生产水平仅与传统网箱相当,且存在着空置率高、海域使用不合理等问题,抗风浪网箱养殖的优势还没有得到充分发挥。养殖品种、网箱管理与维护配套设施、饵料和养殖规划等技术问题急需解决。     

The effect of demand feeding on swimming speed and feeding responses in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L., gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata L. and European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax L. in sea cages

Abstract Using underwater cameras, data were collected on the feeding behaviour and swimming speeds of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L., gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata L. and European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax L. in sea cages. Comparisons were made between the behaviours of fish fed on demand using interactive feedback systems and those of fish fed under the standard feeding practice of each farm (control). In all three species, swimming speeds were similar before feeding , but they were significantly higher in the control regimes during feeding. When fed on demand, sea bass had reduced swimming speed just before and during feeding compared with that observed during the non‐feeding periods. Higher proportions of feeding fish were observed in the control regime cages than in fish fed on demand for all three species, indicating a greater feeding intensity during meals in the control regimes. This was further supported by observations of an increase in the density of sea bass in the upper water in the control cages during feeding. The results suggest decreased levels of competition between the on demand‐fed fish during feeding, which might be hypothesized to lead to improved growth and production efficiency in aquaculture.
