Nutritional value of Pavlova spp. (Prymnesiophyceae) for spat of the Cortez oyster Crassostrea corteziensis during late-nursery culturing at the hatchery

Three Pavlova species were evaluated for their nutritional value as diets for growth and survival of the Cortez oyster Crassostrea corteziensis spat during late‐nursery cultivation at a hatchery. Microalgae were provided as monospecific diets (Pavlova salina, P. sp. C50 and P. sp. C53) and in binary combinations of diets 1+2, 1+3 and 2+3 at 80–90 × 10³ cells mL^?1 for 21 days. Juveniles experienced high survival rates and grew well with all dietary treatments, but binary diets yielded greater survival and growth of spat. From the three binary treatments, Diet 6 (P. sp. C50 and P. sp. C53) promoted significantly (P<0.001) fastest growth of juveniles in shell height (0.19 mm day^?1), shell length (0.14 mm day^?1), total wet weight (0.04 g day^?1) and dry weight of meat biomass (0.024 g day^?1). For all shell dimensions, the lowest growth rates occurred with Diets 2 (P. sp. C56 alone) and 3 (P. sp. C50 alone). These results highlight the importance of testing microalgal diets for bivalve spat rather than just relying on published nutritional values.

魁蚶苗种的潜沙行为观察

根据魁蚶苗种的壳长将其分为6组：0．50cm组、1．00cm组、1．50cm组、2．00cm组、2．50cm组、3．00cm组,在实验室条件下,对不同规格魁蚶Scapharcabroughtonii苗种的潜沙行为及潜沙能力进行了观察。结果表明：魁蚶潜沙行为分为准备期、潜沙期及结束期,其中潜沙期主要包括伸出斧足、竖壳、潜沙3个主要动作;不同规格的魁蚶苗种,其潜沙能力差异明显。壳长为0．50cm的组,潜沙准备时间（8．5min）、潜沙时间最长（24min）,潜沙率最低（10％）;壳长为1．50—3．00cm时,魁蚶的潜沙准备时间和潜沙时间明显缩短,潜沙率提升至90％以上;壳长为1．50cm组的魁蚶完成潜沙的时间最短,在10min之内能够完成潜沙过程。     

Recruitment of catarina scallop (Argopecten ventricosus) larvae on artificial collectors off the NE coast of the Gulf of California

We evaluated recruitment of larvae of catarina scallop, Argopecten ventricosus, in the area of Puerto Peñasco, NE Gulf of California. We moored artificial collectors in six sites from June 2007 to August 2008 and replaced them every 2 months. We used monthly (July 2002–September 2011) sea surface temperature (SST, °C) and surface chlorophyll‐a concentration (SSChl, mg m^?3) Aqua/MODIS satellite data to describe seasonal environmental behaviour study area. Also, we recorded bottom temperature at each site every 4 h, and every 2 months measured sea surface salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. We used a repeated measures anova to evaluate differences in the number of recruited spat between main factors, and analysed the presence of multimodal spat shell size frequency distributions. Overall, spat recruitment was negatively correlated with seawater temperature and showed higher spat recruitment abundances throughout winter, which is the season with the highest surface chlorophyll a concentration. We estimated multimodal shell size frequency distributions characterized by more than one modal size. The natural collection of A. ventricosus spat on artificial collectors in the area can be successfully performed over a protracted period (November–December to May–June). Our results extend the area where collection of A. ventricosus spat can be successful.     

Hatchery production of diploid and triploid clams, Tapes dorsatus (Lamarck 1818): a potential new species for aquaculture

To assess the potential for hatchery production of the venerid clam, Tapes dorsatus, diploid and triploid clams were produced and ongrown until the spat reached 5–8 mm in size. Triploidy percentages at metamorphosis that ranged from 56 to 85% were induced using a 15-min exposure to 1 mg/l cytochalasin B. No differences were observed in the growth rate of sibling diploid and triploid T. dorsatus larvae. Survival of diploid clams to pediveliger stage was however higher. Post-metamorphic growth and survival of diploid and triploid clams remained the same until the clams were removed from the hatchery to outdoor nurseries. Throughout the larval and early spat phases of production, T. dorsatus growth was similar to that reported for the Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum. Based upon its ease of culture, rapid growth and marketability, T. dorsatus are thought to have considerable aquaculture potential.     

Combined effects of temperature and diet on growth and biochemical composition of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg) spat

Temperature and quality of the available food are important factors that influence the physiology of oysters; however, the combined effects have not been well studied. We evaluated the impacts of the temperature and diet on the growth, survival and biochemical composition in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas spat, cultured in the laboratory for 8 weeks at 23, 26, 29 and 32°C and fed Isochrysis sp.‐Pavlova lutheri (IP) and Dunaliella tertiolecta (Dt). The growth and biochemical composition showed a pattern, which changed in response to rising temperature. The shell length was significantly longer, in spat fed the IP diet, except at 32°C, where both diets produced poor growth results. The survival was <50% after 5 weeks at 32°C, whereas at all other temperatures it was >88%. High temperatures directly increased lipids and saturated fatty acids, while the proteins, carbohydrates and unsaturated fatty acids decreased. High temperatures achieved in the environment, as those reached on clear summer days during low tides, are an important stressor in oyster spat, especially when the quality of the available food is poor.     

温度与盐度和缢蛏幼体生存、生长及发育的关系

本文以长期生活在较高盐度(26—28‰)海域的亲蛏所繁衍的幼体为材料,探索温度和盐度单因子及双因子结合与幼体生存生长、发育的相互关系。浮游幼虫期适盐范围为8.4—32.4‰,最适盐度为12.4‰,稚贝适盐范围为8.4—28.4‰,最佳盐度为12.4‰。温度对幼体的影响,是受盐度高低所支配。在盐度为28.4‰生境中培育,浮游幼虫期适温范围为17—25℃,最适温度为21℃,稚贝适温范围为13—25℃,最适温度为17℃,幼体对25℃以上的较高温度的忍耐力较差。若在最适盐度(12.4‰)中培育,浮游幼虫期最适水温为25℃,稚贝最适水温为21℃。幼虫对较高盐度的忍耐力比对较低盐度的忍耐力来得强。     

Effect of submerged time of collector ropes on the settlement capacity of Mytilus galloprovincialis L.

Submersion time of collector ropes influences settlement and larval metamorphosis of Mytilus galloprovincialis, which might be related to the biofilm development. In the present study, the effect of submersion time of collector ropes on the settlement of mussel seed was studied. The results of two experiments performed in an experimental long‐line in the Ría de Ares‐Betanzos have established a minimum submersion time of 41–46 days.

肾上腺素对岩牡蛎幼虫变态的诱导

为了得到壳型规则、大小均一的单体牡蛎,本研究采用肾上腺素对岩牡蛎单体苗种生产的诱导条件进行研究,阐明了岩牡蛎单体苗种的最适诱导浓度、诱导时间和诱导密度。结果显示,肾上腺素能显著诱导岩牡蛎幼虫的不固着变态,最适诱导浓度为5×10–5 mol/L,最适诱导时间为1 h,提高诱导浓度和延长诱导时间导致岩牡蛎幼虫的不固着变态率、稚贝壳高和存活率显著降低;肾上腺素对低于8个/mL幼虫密度的诱导效果差异不显著,但稚贝壳高和存活率在8个/mL的培育密度下显著低于0.5～4个/mL,研究表明利用肾上腺素诱导岩牡蛎单体时,可大批量处理眼点幼虫,但稚贝充气培养的最适培养密度应不高于4个/mL。
