Seasonal hydrology of Port Fitzroy,Great Barrier Island,New Zealand

At 2‐monthly intervals between March 1974 and January 1975 seawater temperature and salinity (at 0 m and 5 m depths) and turbidity (as Secchi disc visibility) were measured in Port Fitzroy and adjacent bays on Great Barrier Island (36°11'S, 175°21'E). A seasonal pattern was evident in all three parameters. Variation between depths and between high and low tides was generally only slight, although differences of up to 3.6°c and 12.58‰ were recorded occasionally. Maximum temperatures (22–23°c) occurred in January, with minima (13–14°c) in July. Salinities were generally between 35.0 and 35.6‰, but values as low as 22.25‰ at the surface were recorded after heavy rainfall. Secehi disc visibility measurements of turbidity varied between 2.0 and 12.5 m, but were usually 5–9 m.

A graded series of four generalised areas was distinguished, ranging from sheltered, almost estuarine inner bays, to exposed open water with properties similar to outer Hauraki Gulf water.

The circulation through Port Fitzroy comprises the main exchange of water through the northern entrance channel, causing a southerly movement of water on the flood tide and a northerly movement on the ebb, together with a small compensatory exchange through the narrow southern entrance.     

兔抗鲑鱼降钙素抗血清的制备与鉴定

探讨降钙素抗血清制备的简便方法,用IPTG诱导重组鲑鱼降钙素(sCT)基因工程菌BL21(pGEX-4T—sCT),超声波裂解后,用亲和层析凝胶纯化蛋白GsT—sCT,并以此融合蛋白为抗原制备抗血清。实验证明：降钙素是1种半抗原;大肠杆菌表达的融合蛋白GST—sCT只具有鲑鱼降钙素免疫原性,而无谷胱甘肽免疫原性。经鉴定,制备的免疫血清具有良好的特异性和敏感性。     

气候变化对鲑鱼丰富度和繁殖影响的研究进展

鲑鱼是人类重要的食品来源之一,具有巨大的经济价值。同时,鲑鱼资源通过输送营养物质对维持溪流和陆地生态系统的结构、功能和过程等有重要作用。而鲑鱼是对温度极为敏感的冷水性鱼类,对气候变化的反应尤为明显。作者通过文献综述法梳理相关研究,从气候变化引起的温度变化、淡水和海洋环境的变化以及鱼病传播4个方面探讨对鲑鱼丰富度和繁殖的影响,并提出研究展望。研究显示:温度变化对鲑鱼的产卵和迁徙有较大影响;溪流和河流流量的改变会影响鲑鱼的迁徙和幼年鲑鱼的存活数量;温度和二氧化碳浓度的变化使海洋食物供应减少,鲑鱼丰富度降低;水温的升高使病原体增加,鲑鱼死亡率增加。本研究成果可为鲑鱼种群应对气候变化的研究及管理提供一定的理论支持。     

3种不同来源的鲑鱼降钙素基因的克隆及其序列比较

以 3种不同来源的鲑鱼基因组 DNA为模板 ,采用 PCR方法获得完整的 s CT基因。与Genbank中 Pink Salmon(Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)的降钙素基因序列进行比较 ,结果显示 :实验组的 Pink Salmon(O.gorbuscha)降钙素基因有 2个碱基差异 (第 39位 C→ A;第 5 1位 T→ C) ,氨基酸没有变化 ;Chum Salmon(O.keta)有 1个碱基的差异 (第 86位 G→ A) ,且引起 1个氨基酸的变化(第 2 9位 S→ N) ;而中国黑龙江产的鲑鱼 (Oncorhynchus sp.)降钙素基因序列与 Genbank中 PinkSalmon(O.gorbuscha)的降钙素序列完全相同 ,没有碱基差别。
