In order to assess the adaptation to metals previously observed in the bioindicator organism, Macoma balthica, subjected to chronic contamination by silver and mercury in the French Loire estuary, the bioaccumulation potential of individual organisms originating from the contaminated Loire estuary and a relatively uncontaminated control estuary (Somme) was evaluated using both radiotracers and stable isotopes of Ag (80 μg Ag litre−1) and Hg (100 μg Hg litre−1). Clams from the contaminated estuary were more sensitive to Ag (LT50 = 9d) than those originating from the Somme estuary (LT50 > 15d), even though the former bioaccumulated Ag to a significantly lower degree. This is attributed to a consequence of the chronic stress induced by Ag while clams were living in their natural environment. Therefore, past history of trace metal contamination should be considered when evaluating the susceptibility of M. balthica to heavy metal exposure. Lower uptake rates obtained for Hg (during the initial uptake phase only) and for Ag in clams from the polluted estuary suggest the presence of an adaptive trait for survival in contaminated areas. However, the lower degree of bioconcentration observed for Ag was not sufficiently low to reduce the sensitivity of the organisms to Ag and allow them to resist the toxic stress. Clams that survived Ag or Hg exposure at LT50 did not protect themselves against metal toxicity by accumulating a significantly lesser amount of these metals than clams which did not survive metal stress. The results suggest that the bioaccumulation potential of each individual was not a factor which can explain the survival ability of M. balthica exposed to chronic Ag and Hg contamination in estuaries. In this case, cellular, biochemical and genetic levels of adaptation are presumed to be of greater importance.  相似文献

Our study investigates biomarker responses and survival of Macoma nasuta exposed to sediments collected from six locations in northern San Francisco Bay. Biomarkers analyzed were stress proteins (hsp70) in gill, mantle and digestive gland, lysosomal membrane damage and histopathologic lesions. Sediments and clam tissues were analyzed for a comprehensive suite of heavy metals and trace organic pollutants. Sediment grain size and organic carbon content were determined. Clams accumulated metals, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides (aldrin and p,p-DDT and its metabolites p,p-DDD and p,p-DDE). Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis revealed that mortality, hsp70 in gill and histopathologic lesion scores in gonads, and lysosomal membrane damage were significantly correlated with tissue concentrations of DDT and/or its metabolites. Tissue concentrations of metals, in particular nickel, chromium, and copper, were associated with macrophage aggregates in digestive gland and germ cell necrosis. Cadmium was linked to mortality and lysosomal membrane damage.  相似文献

为了探索水孔蛋白(Aquaporin,AQP)在凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)渗透压调节过程中作用,本研究通过RACE方法获得克隆的凡纳滨对虾AQP(命名为LvAQP4)的c DNA全长序列,并分析了盐度胁迫对其肝胰腺m RNA表达的影响。结果发现:LvAQP4 c DNA序列全长为1 048 bp,其中包括75 bp的5¢UTR,187 bp的3¢UTR和786 bp的ORF。根据ORF序列推导出LvAQP4编码261个氨基酸,预测其分子质量为27.85 k Da,等电点为8.11。推导的氨基酸序列与其他甲壳物种的AQP相似度为48.8%到97.3%。进化分析显示LvAQP4属于AQP1-like亚族、AQP4类。定量PCR(q PCR)检测到LvAQP4在不同组织中均有表达,其中鳃的表达量最高,肝胰腺、肌肉、脑和眼柄中也较高,而血淋巴、肠、胃和胸神经节中表达量则较低。在高盐(盐度40)刺激下,凡纳滨对虾的肝胰腺LvAQP4 m RNA表达量会随着时间推移而上升,到6 h达到最高,而后逐步下降。而在低盐(盐度4)刺激下,凡纳滨对虾的肝胰腺LvAQP4 m RNA表达量并无明显变化。在原代分离和培养的肝胰腺细胞中,培养液中加入额外的Na Cl会剂量依赖地提高LvAQP4 m RNA表达水平。同样,通过在培养液中额外加入蔗糖提高培养液渗透压,也会剂量依赖地提高LvAQP4 m RNA表达水平,但作用不如Na Cl明显。这些结果表明盐度与肝胰腺LvAQP4的表达量有关,LvAQP4对凡纳滨对虾的渗透压调节具有非常重要的作用。  相似文献

The spatial pattern of the nursery areas of red mullet (Mullus barbatus), hake (Merluccius merluccius) (Linnaeus, 1758) and deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) (Lucas, 1846) was studied in the South Adriatic and North Ionian Seas (Eastern-Central Mediterranean) applying geostatistical techniques and data from time series trawl surveys conducted in the area. The analysed variables were: R (number of recruits/km2) and R/Tot (fraction of recruits on the total sampled population). The structural analysis showed a spatial pattern of both variables characterized by continuity on a small scale. Predictions of nursery area localization with probability of finding recruits at different threshold values were obtained through median indicator kriging. For the red mullet the nurseries were mainly identified in the South Adriatic Sea off the Gargano peninsula and between Molfetta and Monopoli within 50 m in depth. The main concentration of hake juveniles was found to be between 100 and 200 m in depth along the Gargano peninsula and between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca, where a nursery of deep-water rose shrimp was also detected. An overlapping depth, between 100 and 200 m, was identified for hake and deep-water rose shrimp nurseries. Protection of these areas through limitations of fishing pressure is discussed.  相似文献

The world’s largest mono-specific fishery, the Peruvian anchovy or anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) fishery, has been the subject of many studies since the 1960s. Details of its relationship with other species have mainly focused on alternations with sardine, Sardinops sagax, and little effort has so far been paid to interactions with other species sharing the same ecosystem. This is the case for Pleuroncodes monodon, the crustacean squat lobster or ’munida’, which has become highly abundant along the Peruvian coast since the mid-1990s. Munida is now an important prey for seabirds, mammals and coastal predatory fish. Knowledge of patterns of distribution and ecological niche of munida is scarce however off Peru. Here we describe and compare spatial patterns of distribution of anchoveta and munida and their ecological niches based on data from 26 acoustic surveys performed along the Peruvian coast between 1998 and 2006. The results indicate that munida and anchoveta share ecological niches but that munida is restricted to the coldest part of the productive cold coastal waters whereas anchoveta do not present any temperature preference over a large range (14–23 °C). The recent increase in munida abundance off Peru is concomitant with colder conditions; with their onset munida extended its range from central Chile northwards. Off Peru the very shallow oxycline keeps munida from its usual bottom habitat and has forced it to adopt pelagic behaviour.  相似文献

cGAS(cyclic GMP-AMP synthase)基因是近几年来新发现的先天免疫中一个新型的信号分子。作者基于大黄鱼(Larimichthys crocea)基因组信息,用cDNA末端快速扩增(RACE)技术在鳃组织中克隆鉴定了cGAS基因cDNA全长序列:包含1个231 bp的5′端-非翻译区(5′-UTR)、207 bp的3′-UTR和1 488 bp的开放阅读框(ORF),命名为Lc-cGAS-like X1。该基因编码1个由495个氨基酸残基组成的多肽,预测的分子量(Mw)大小为56.57kDa,理论等电点(pI)为9.45;序列分析表明其预测的蛋白无信号肽,第115~431位氨基酸序列为Mab-21功能域,第470~492位氨基酸序列为跨膜结构域。基因组全长3 153 bp,包含8个外显子和7个内含子,所有内含子的剪切特点都符合GT-AG规则。同源比对结果显示:Lc-cGAS-likeX1与鱼类cGAS的相似性大于66%,与高等脊椎动物的相似性较低。系统进化分析表明Lc-cGAS-like X1与鱼类cGAS聚成一支。荧光定量PCR(qPCR)检测显示Lc-cGAS基因(X1/X2两种剪切体)在大黄鱼9种组织中均有表达,其中在鳃中的表达量最高;刺激隐核虫感染后,大黄鱼免疫器官头肾中Lc-cGASmRNA分别在刺激隐核虫幼虫感染阶段和滋养体脱落阶段出现了极显著上调(P0.01);解毒器官肝脏中分别在滋养体脱落阶段和细菌感染阶段出现极显著上调变化(P0.01)。本研究结果暗示大黄鱼cGAS基因参与了大黄鱼感染刺激隐核虫的免疫防御过程,为进一步了解鱼类cGAS基因的多样化功能提供参考。  相似文献

为了解泥蚶金属硫蛋白基因(MT)和卵黄蛋白原基因(Vg)在重金属Pb胁迫下的表达响应模式,本文设置了1、3、6及9μg/L 4个浓度梯度的重金属Pb攻毒实验。在此基础上,利用qRT-PCR技术检测了0、7、14、21、28 d泥蚶血液MT、Vg的相对表达量。结果显示泥蚶MT基因在Pb~(2+)暴毒14 d时开始被显著诱导,在整个实验过程中基本呈现先增后降的态势。且在14 d和28 d时,6μg/L及9μg/L浓度组泥蚶MT相对表达量均高于1、3μg/L浓度组。由此可见,在Pb~(2+)胁迫下泥蚶血液MT基因的表达具有一定的时间依赖性和浓度依赖性。相比之下,泥蚶血液Vg基因的诱导表达情况较MT基因而言不明显。3μg/L浓度组泥蚶Vg mRNA较对照组在14、21 d时被显著诱导;9μg/L浓度组其在28 d时才开始被显著诱导。综上可见,泥蚶MT和Vg在应激重金属Pb过程中起到了一定的抗氧化及重金属解毒作用。  相似文献

In this study, seasonal and annual variability in the use of estuarine and ocean beaches by young-of-the-year bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, was evaluated by indices of abundance in coastal areas of southern New Jersey (1998–2000). Biological and physical factors measured at specific sites were correlated with bluefish abundance to determine the mechanisms underlying habitat selection. In addition, integrative and discrete indicators of bluefish growth were used to examine spatio-temporal dynamics in habitat quality and its effect on habitat selection by multiple cohorts of bluefish. Intra-annual recruitment to coastal areas of southern New Jersey was episodic, and resulted from the ingress of spring-spawned bluefish (hatch-date April) to estuarine beaches in late May to early June, followed by the recruitment of summer-spawned fish (hatch-date early July) to ocean beaches from July to October. Bluefish utilized estuarine and ocean beaches in a facultative manner that was responsive to dynamics in prey composition and temperature conditions. The recruitment and residency of bluefish in the estuary (1998–1999) and ocean beaches (1998), for example, was coincidental with the presence of the Atlantic silverside Menidia menidia and bay anchovy Anchoa mitchilli, the principal prey species for bluefish occupying these respective habitat-types. Bluefish abundance in the estuary (2000) and ocean beaches (1999–2000) was also correlated with water temperature, with the greatest catches of juveniles coinciding with their optimal growth temperature (24 °C). Bluefish growth, estimated as the slope of age–length relationships and daily specific growth rates, equaled 1.27–2.63 mm fork length (FL) d−1 and 3.8–8.7% body length increase d−1, respectively. The growth of sagittal otoliths was also used as a proxy for changes in bluefish size during and shortly before their time of capture. Accordingly, otolith growth rates of summer-spawned bluefish were greater at ocean beaches relative to the estuary and were explained by the more suitable temperature conditions found at ocean beaches during the mid- to late summer. Notwithstanding the fast growth of oceanic summer-spawned bluefish, individuals spawned in the spring were still larger in absolute body size at the end of the summer growing season (240 and 50–200 mm FL for spring- and summer-spawned bluefish, respectively). The size discrepancy between spring- and summer-spawned bluefish at the onset of autumn migrations and during overwintering periods may account for the differential recruitment success of the respective cohorts.  相似文献

The vertical and temporal distribution of two calycophoran siphonophores, Chelophyes appendiculata (Eschscholtz, 1829) and Abylopsis tetragona (Otto, 1823) in the Bay of Villefranche (northwestern Mediterranean) was investigated by an analysis of three different planktonic time series. A daily series (1993–1995) showed seasonal peaks of the nectophores of C. appendiculata during spring and particularly in late summer, while the abundance of A. tetragona remained similar throughout the year. A weekly series (1994–1995) showed that C. appendiculata (nectophores and eudoxids) became concentrated above the thermal discontinuity, in the most stratified and warm waters, whereas A. tetragona was collected in large numbers below this discontinuity. A 27-year survey (1966–1993) showed long-term fluctuations of these siphonophore populations, which became abundant in the Bay starting from 1980 and especially after 1984, when the water column grew warm and hypersaline, corresponding to a less rainy period. Temporal (seasonal and long-term) and bathymetric (between 10 and 60 m depth) successions of these two siphonophores were noted in this shallow coastal bay.  相似文献

To use two small fish Rivulus marmoratus (Cyprinodontiformes, Rivulidae) and the Japanese medaka Oryzias latipes (Belloniformes) as testing models in molecular ecotoxicology, we have cloned the cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) gene after screening of both genomic DNA libraries, and sequenced 11,863 and 7,243 bp including all the exons and introns with promoter regions, respectively. The Rivulus and the medaka CYP1A gene consisted of seven exons (including non-coding exons) with high homology to mammals. In the promoter region, Rivulus CYP1A gene has seven xenobiotic response elements (XREs) and two metal response elements (MREs), while the Japanese medaka CYP1A gene has six XREs and four MREs. Interestingly, medaka CYP1A gene has a number of MREs at the promoter, which may affect its response on metal exposure. We describe here the gene structure of both fish CYP1A genes.  相似文献

为探究镧对黄姑鱼(Nibea albiflora)幼鱼的促生长作用和成活率的影响,本研究设7组不同镧质量浓度处理组,采用不同方程对不同镧质量浓度组的体质量生长拟合。实验结果表明,不同镧质量浓度处理组黄姑鱼幼鱼的生长速度差异显著(P0.05)。采用线性方程:1.8 mg/L处理组的体质量生长系数最大,为0.011 2,而对照组(0 mg/L)的体质量生长系数最小,为0.009 9;采用多项式方程:1.8 mg/L组全长生长系数的绝对值最大,为3.26,而对照组(0 mg/L)的全长生长系数的绝对值最小,为1.17。镧对体质量增大率、全长增长率和特定生长率、死亡率均有显著的影响(P0.05),用多项式方程分别对上述生长参数与镧质量浓度(C)之间的相关关系拟合得到,体质量增大率=162.93+42.79C+(–11.62)C~2(R~2=0.95),全长增长率=38.49+21.54C+(–7.27)C~2(R~2=0.90),特定生长率=1.08+0.16C+(–0.04)C~2(R~2=0.93),死亡率=62.91+(–22.88)C+7.19C~2(R~2=0.54)。根据方程,得到最适体质量增大、最适全长增长、最适特定生长、最低死亡率的镧质量浓度分别为1.84、1.48、2和1.59 mg/L。证实,镧可促进黄姑鱼幼鱼的生长及提高成活率,1.48~2 mg/L为黄姑鱼幼鱼的最适生长的镧质量浓度范围。  相似文献

The population structure of Mya arenaria has been investigated in the sublittoral zone of the Pomeranian Bay (southern Baltic Sea). Box-corer samples were collected during a 1.5-year period in 1993/94 to follow changes in size and age structure of the clam populations in different parts of the study area. Large spatial differences in population structure were found between the sheltered southwest of the Bay and the shallow and exposed Oder Bank in the centre. The stock of the Oder Bank consisted of two different clam types. A slow-growing cohort was assumed to be autochtonous on the Oder Bank, whereas a fast-growing one was assumed to have immigrated from the surrounding area. The contribution of the two cohorts to the total density varied seasonally. Because of bedload transport of clams, the contribution to the reduction of the clam stock by wintering sea ducks could not be quantified. In the southwest of the Pomeranian Bay erosion was of minor importance. High mortality rates during the first two years of life were assumed to be caused by predation. Mortality rates of older cohorts remained stable until old age. Variations in cohort strength were related to interannual differences in the reproductive success. A mild winter presumably lowers the reproductive success in the subsequent summer. Severe oxygen depletion in summer 1994 caused a strong reduction in the clam stock at stations deeper than 10 m.  相似文献

腹壁纤毛虫是一种附着在浮游动物上的原生生物,尤其是附着在桡足类和甲壳类上的。而缘毛虫是可以以自由或寄生的形式在世界各沿海地区和港湾处被发现。本研究首次对东印度洋表层至200 m深海域的缘毛类纤毛虫以及其水平分布展开了研究。根据纤毛虫的形态、纤毛结构和茎的形态等的特征,在2014年4月10日至5月13日东印度洋航次的浮游生物拖网样品中鉴定出了五种富腹纤毛虫,海洋钟形虫Vorticella oceanica、交替聚缩虫Zoothamnium alternans、阿拉聚缩虫Zoothamnium alrasheidi、远洋聚缩虫Zoothamnium pelagicum和海洋聚缩虫Zoothamnium marinum。并通过光显微镜和扫描显微镜拍摄的照片,说明了其形态、尺寸和特征。研究结果表明,海洋钟形虫和远洋聚缩虫的分布与硅藻(如,密聚角毛藻Chaetoceros coarctatus)和桡足类(如,短角长腹剑水蚤Oithona brevicornis)等寄主有关,也包括甲藻(如,三角角藻Ceraitum tripose)周围的一些个体。这些附着纤毛虫的分布在东印度洋海域东南区以海洋钟形虫、远洋聚缩虫和海洋聚缩虫为主,而在孟加拉湾北部则有大量的阿拉聚缩虫。这种分布的变化可能是与寄主的分布有关,如桡足类(短角长腹剑水蚤)和硅藻(密聚角毛藻)的分布影响。  相似文献

The bivalve Spisula subtruncata is usually abundant in shallow coastal waters along the Dutch coast. However, its biomass has been decreasing since 1995. In order to assess whether reproductive failure may be the cause of the observed decline over the last decades, the energy investment in reproduction of a population of S. subtruncata from central Dutch coastal waters was studied. The population studied consisted of individuals of up to four years old. Shell length reached maximum values of around 32 mm and individual total body, somatic and gonadal ash-free dry mass reached maximum values of about 278 mg AFDM, 252 mg AFDM and 76 mg AFDM, respectively. A clear seasonal cycle in somatic and gonadal mass was observed. Somatic and gonadal mass indices increased in early spring and reached maximum values during summer, followed by a decrease to minimum values at the beginning of the following year. Spawning was in June–July and settlement of spat seems to have occurred in July–August. Mean oocyte diameter was 57.43 ± 0.03 μm, corresponding to a volume of 98972 μm3. These results suggested that reproductive failure was not the cause of the current population decline. Most likely, unsuccessful settlement of spat and/or severe predation during the first months of life were responsible for the observed patterns.  相似文献

为了探究aquaporin基因家族成员在松江鲈(Trachidermus fasciatus)应对低盐胁迫过程中的调节作用,本研究选取7个Aquaporin基因(aqp1、aqp4、aqp7、aqp8、aqp10、aqp11和aqp12)为目标基因,利用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测了鳃、肠、肾和肝组织中7个基因在两种低盐胁迫处理下不同时间点(0 h、12 h、24 h和48 h)的表达水平。在两种低盐胁迫处理下,aqp4在松江鲈鳃、肝和肠组织中无表达,aqp7在鳃、肝组织中无表达。此外,其他aqp基因在四个组织中的表达量变化趋势具有显著差异。除肾组织中aqp12和肠组织中的aqp7、aqp8aqp10之外,特定组织中aquaporin基因在两种低盐胁迫下呈现相似的表达量变化趋势。本研究通过比较分析了aquaporin基因在松江鲈应对不同低盐胁迫时表达变化规律的异同,相关结果为探讨这一家族成员在鱼类应激调节过程中的作用及洄游性鱼类适应盐度变化的分子调控机制提供了理论依据。  相似文献
