比较了5种不同脂肪(能量)蛋白比的配合饲料对初始平均体重(7.75±1.17)g梭鲈幼鱼生长性能的影响。结果表明,投喂不同脂肪蛋白水平的饲料,以能量蛋白比为45.94kJ/g试验组的生长速度最快[SGR为(2.86±0.17)%/d]、饲料系数最低(FCR为1.57±0.12)、蛋白质沉积率和能量保留率最大,分别为98.44%±2.38%和30.88%±3.83%;以饲料中蛋白质含量、脂肪含量为变量因子,以梭鲈幼鱼的特定生长率、蛋白质沉积率和能量保留率为指标,通过二元二次回归方程得出梭鲈最大生长速度时饲料中蛋白质含量为39.80%,脂肪含量为8.79%,总能为18.53MJ/kg,脂肪蛋白比为0.22,能量蛋白比为46.56kJ/g;梭鲈获得最大的蛋白质沉积率时,饲料蛋白质含量为38.76%,脂肪含量为9.18%,总能为18.65MJ/kg,脂肪蛋白比为0.24,能量蛋白比为48.12kJ/g;梭鲈获得最大的能量保留率时饲料蛋白质含量为38.55%,脂肪含量为9.45%,总能为18.72MJ/kg,脂肪蛋白比为0.25,能量蛋白比为48.56kJ/g;饲料中脂肪水平的增加可以降低鱼类耗能时对蛋白质的需求量,表...     

Systematic position of copepods of the genus Achtheres (Crustacea: Copepoda: Siphonostomatoida) parasitizing perch, Perca fluviatilis L., and zander, Sander lucioperca (L.)

Parasitic copepods of the genus Achtheres commonly infect perch, Perca fluviatilis, and zander, Sander lucioperca, in Europe. The aim of this study was to verify the specific identity of these copepods. The parasites were examined morphologically, biometrically and genetically. Statistical processing of the biometrical data was based on both empirical measurements and transformed data related to total length and genital trunk width. Principal component analysis was applied to both sets of data. DNA of both parasite 'forms' was amplified using two sets of primers (EU5.8S+EU18S and 18SF1+28SR) and the products were subjected to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Morphological differences were found in the overall shape of the copepod bodies as well as in the details of the armament of some appendages. The morphometric study emphasized the importance of second maxillae and genital process as the variables most distinctly distinguishing the two 'forms'. The two 'forms' of Achtheres differed in the DNA sequence amplified by one set of primers. RFLP revealed even more extensive differences between these two copepods. We concluded that the copepods parasitizing perch should be referred to as Achtheres percarum von Nordmann, 1832, whereas a long-forgotten name, A. sandrae Gadd, 1901, should be applied to the copepods from zander.     

Spatial variability in the somatic growth of pikeperch Sander lucioperca,an invasive piscivorous fish

Introduced fishes can develop invasive populations that impact native species and ecosystems. Understanding the population ecology of introduced species in their extended ranges and how this compares to their native ranges is therefore important for informing their management. Here, the age and somatic growth rates of the piscivorous freshwater fish pikeperch Sander lucioperca were analysed across their invasive and native ranges to determine their spatial patterns and drivers. Analyses were initially completed in their invaded range in central and western England. Populations varied spatially in their growth rates; being slowest for a population in a narrow and shallow canal and fastest in a large, impounded lowland river. A meta‐analysis of parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth model then revealed that across their native and invasive ranges, their theoretical ultimate lengths (L_∞) and growth coefficients (K) were significantly related to latitude, but not longitude. Their relationships with latitude were nonlinear, with higher values of L_∞ and lower values of K being evident towards their northerly and southerly range limits. Faster growth rates were evident in the middle of their range (45 to 55°N), suggesting temperatures here were most optimal for growth, but were in a trade‐off with reduced ultimate lengths. These spatial patterns suggest that whilst introduced S. lucioperca can colonise new waters across a wide area, the expression of their life‐history traits will vary spatially, with potential implications for how invasive populations establish and integrate into native fish communities.     

Effects of air exposure on mortality and growth of undersized pikeperch, Sander lucioperca, at low water temperatures with implications for catch-and-release fishing

Abstract As undersized fish have to be released after capture in most recreational fisheries, the potential mortality associated with this practice is of interest to managers and anglers. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of air exposure on mortality and growth in pikeperch, Sander lucioperca (L.), <500 mm (total length) at low water temperatures (around 10 °C). Fish were exhaustively exercised by manual chasing for 120 s, exposed to air for 0, 60, 120 or 240 s, and afterwards stocked into two ponds to measure mortality and growth rates. Neither mortality nor growth was statistically significantly different among different durations of air exposure. However, mortality was the lowest in both ponds for fish with no air exposure, which suggested that air exposure adversely affected survival. Mortality was inversely related to length and body mass of pikeperch in one of the two ponds. From a management perspective, it is suggested to avoid air exposure in angled pikeperch that are to be released.
