盐度对威氏海链藻生长和生化指标的影响

【目的】研究威氏海链藻在不同盐度条件下的生长和生化组分变化。【方法】设置盐度梯度为5、15、25、35、45,采用血细胞计数板计数法、热乙醇提取法、尼罗红染色法、苯酚硫酸法和考马斯亮蓝法,分别测定威氏海链藻在不同盐度下的生物量、叶绿素a、类胡萝卜素、中性脂质、总糖和蛋白质含量。【结果】盐度对威氏海链藻细胞密度影响显著(P<0.05),当盐度25和盐度35时,培养8 d细胞密度最高,均为2.0×10⁶ mL^-1;盐度对威氏海链藻叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素含量有显著影响(P<0.05),当盐度15时,细胞叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素含量均最高,分别为3.4814μg/mL(4 d)、2.3549μg/mL(8 d)。盐度对威氏海链藻可溶性总糖含量有显著影响(P<0.05),当盐度15时,8 d时可溶性总糖积累含量最高,为123μg/mL。当盐度35时,6 d时可溶性蛋白积累含量最高,为142.9μg/mL,且显著高于其他实验组(P<0.05)。盐度45时,8 d时中性脂含量最高,显著高于其他实验组(P<0.05)。【结论】盐度为15~35时,威氏海链藻生长速度较快,生化组成较为稳定,盐度15时最有利于藻细胞叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素、总糖的合成;盐度25和盐度35时,藻细胞平均增长速度较快,盐度35时最有利于藻细胞可溶性蛋白积累。     

Advances in studies of the effects of starvation on growth and development of fish larvae

Starvation has important effects on early development of fish. It determines the survival and growth of fish larvae, and plays an important role in the dynamics of fish population and fisheries recruitment, in this review, we discuss the current studies about the effects of starvation on growth and development of fish larval stage. The goals of this review are to understand some adap- tive mechanisms and ecological countermeasures of starved fish larvae and to provide the scientific guideline for exploring early life history processes, evaluating the nutrition condition and growth of larval fish, protecting fish resource and breeding fish larvae.     

Ontogenetic development in the morphology and behavior of loach （Misgurnus anguillicaudatus） during early life stages

Loach （Misgurnus anguillicaudatus） is a commercially important fish in China and an ideal aquaculture species. However, culturists experience high larval and juvenile mortality during mass production. To provide insight into ways to improve larviculture techniques, we describe the morphological characteristics and behavior of loach during the larval and early juvenile stages. Yolksae larvae ranged from 2.8 to 4.0 mm body length （BL） between days 0 to 4; preflexion larvae ranged from 3.6 to 5.5 mm BL between days 4 to 6; flexion larvae ranged from 4.8 to 8.1 mm BL between days 5 and 14; and post-flexion larvae ranged from 7. l to 15.7 mm BL between days 11 to 27; the minimum length and age of juveniles was 14.1 mm BL and 23 d, respectively. Loach are demersal from hatch through to the early juvenile stages. A suite of morphological characteristics （e.g., external gill filament and ventral mouth opening） and behavioral traits have developed to adapt to demersal living. We observed positive allometric growth in eye diameter, head length, head height, and pectoral fin length during the early larval stages, reflecting the priorities in the development of the organs essential for survival. Our results provide a basis for developing techniques to improve the survival of larval and juvenile loach during mass production.     

Variations of ion-transport enzyme activities during early development of the shrimps <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fenneropenaeus chinensis</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Marsupenaeus japonicus</Emphasis>

The ion-transport enzyme activities were studied in the nauplii 1–2, zoea 1–3, mysis 1–3, and postlarva 1–7 of the shrimps Marsupenaeus japonicus and Fenneropenaeus chinensis. The results showed that total ATPase, Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase, and V-ATPase (V-type H⁺-ATPase) activities increased during the early development for both the species, from zero in nauplii to stable levels after zoea stage. The enzyme activities of the latter species were significantly higher than those of the former species after zoea stage (F>F _0.05). The contributions of Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase, V-ATPase and HCO₃ ⁻-ATPase to the total ATPase activity of the two species varied in different developmental stages and accounted for 40%–70%, 22%–46% and 2%–13% in M. japonicus from zoea to postlarva stage, whilst the shares of them were 42%–69%, 28%–44% and 2.5%–22%, respectively in F.chinensis. These findings suggest the possible culture of the two species with varying water quality, especially the salinity and pH.
