中心硅藻梅尼小环藻淡水株和海水株亚显微结构的形态学差异

本文利用18S r RNA基因对4株经形态学初步鉴定的梅尼小环藻(Cyclotella meneghiniana)进行了分子鉴定。结果显示,这4株分离自淡水环境(2株)和海水环境(2株)的梅尼小环藻的18S r RNA基因序列基本一致,并与已经报道的梅尼小环藻(登录号为GQ148712和AY496212)聚为一支,不同方法所构建的系统树的支持率分别为99%(邻接法)和98%(最大似然法),表明这4株来自不同环境的藻为同一物种——梅尼小环藻。随后作者利用扫描电镜技术在亚显微水平上对这4株梅尼小环藻进行了观察,结果显示:梅尼小环藻淡水株和海水株具有相当不同的亚显微结构特征。生活在海水的梅尼小环藻藻株具有更大的细胞以及更多的中央支持突。此外,本文还对造成梅尼小环藻种内高水平形态差异的原因以及18S r RNA基因序列是否可以作为小环藻属物种鉴定的分子标记做了分析和讨论。     

Reef fish display station-keeping and ranging behaviour in the Pondoland Marine Protected Area on the east coast of South Africa

This study assessed the role of the Pondoland Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa by evaluating retention versus ‘spillover’ of exploited fishery species that were tagged in a 400 km² no-take zone of the MPA. From April 2006 to July 2010, 2 124 fish comprising 36 species were tagged in the MPA, with an overall recapture rate of 23%. Findings for four important species (Polysteganus praeorbitalis, Chrysoblephus puniceus, Epinephelus andersoni and Epinephelus marginatus) are presented. Recapture rates ranged from 8% to 60% and time-at-liberty from 0 to 1 390 d. Individuals of all four species displayed highly localised station-keeping behaviour. For all four species, the 95th percentile of intra-study site movements was <750 m (linear distance) and many recaptures were within 250 m of the release site, showing that some fish spend most of their time in the MPA's no-take zone. However, some fish moved beyond the boundary of this zone in a north-easterly direction (range 3–1 059 km), where they would be available to the boat-based fishery in KwaZulu-Natal. The combination of resident individuals with some with ranging behaviour suggests that the MPA can provide a conservation role for these species, while exporting some individuals into nearby fisheries.     

4株米氏凯伦藻(Karenia mikimotoi)藻际异养细菌的分离鉴定

采用分子生物学方法,对分离的米氏凯伦藻4株藻际异养细菌进行分子鉴定和功能分析。结果表明,经16S rRNA序列分析,4株藻际异养细菌分别隶属于Formosa、Erythrobacter、Shewanella和Marinobacter四个属,P1菌株与Formosa的16S rRNA核苷酸序列的同源性为95%,P2、P3和P4菌株与Erythrobacter、Shewanella和Marinobacter的同源性在99%以上。通过4株异养细菌及其同源性大的24株细菌构建进化树得出,28株细菌在系统发育树中主要分成4个分支,与同源性分析相符。     

Growth acceleration at sex change in the protogynous hermaphrodite Chrysoblephus puniceus (Pisces: Sparidae)

Growth of Chrysoblephus puniceus was modelled by means of a Von Bertalanffy growth equation, taking into consideration that it may not be realistic to model the growth of this protogynous hermaphrodite simply by constructing sex-specific growth curves or by pooling data for both sexes. Estimates of the values of the growth equation parameters were obtained by fitting to age-length data sampled in the St Lucia Marine Reserve and off southern Moçambique. Empirical evidence is presented which suggests that accelerated growth at sex change occurs in C. puniceus.     

基于线粒体16S rRNA基因序列对3种珍珠贝的鉴定

传统的形态鉴定主要依赖于分类者的经验和水平,容易产生分类错误。为提高物种鉴定的准确性,作者采用形态学与线粒体16S rRNA基因序列分析相结合的方式对广西北海涠洲岛采获的3种珍珠贝进行了鉴定。研究结果表明,基于形态学可将3种珍珠贝分别鉴定为企鹅珍珠贝(Pteria penguin)、宽珍珠贝(P.loveni)和中国珍珠贝(P.chinensis),但基于16S r RNA基因序列,形态学鉴定为P.loveni的标本应为P.lata。P.loveni和P.lata是两个完全独立的种,并非为同物异名。珍珠贝属16S rRNA基因序列的种间遗传距离明显大于种内遗传距离,适宜作为该属种类鉴定的分子标记。在基于16S r RNA基因序列构建的系统树中,相同种类的不同个体均形成单系群,并获得很高的支持率。分布于中国沿海的珍珠贝属种类应包括P.lata,是否有P.loveni的分布尚需进一步证实。     

10个菲律宾蛤仔野生群体的遗传多样性研究

对我国沿海地区10个菲律宾蛤仔野生群体线粒体16S r RNA和COI基因部分序列进行测序,分别得到了长度为473bp和632bp的片段。结果表明,16S r RNA 193条序列A+T平均含量为66.6%,共检测到21个变异位点,193个个体具有22种单倍型;COI基因183条序列A+T平均含量为64.8%,共检测到126个变异位点,183个个体具有67种单倍型。基于群体间遗传距离利用Mega5.1软件构建10个群体的NJ树,聚类结果表明,大连群体和荣成群体聚为一支,其余8个群体聚为一支。AMOVA分析表明,大连群体和荣成群体间分化不显著,而荣成、大连群体与其余8个群体间的分化达到极显著水平(P0.01),说明我国沿海的菲律宾蛤仔野生群体存在一定的遗传分化。     

海南养殖罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)致病链球菌的分离、鉴定及其药敏试验

采用常规的形态及生理生化特性检验、API20strep快速鉴定及分子生物学等方法,对引起2009年海南罗非鱼大规模死亡的病原菌进行了致病性、表型生物学,分子生物学及药敏试验的系统研究。结果表明,2株分离菌均为无乳链球菌,对罗非鱼具有很强的致病性。分离菌16SrRNA基因序列(GenBank登录存取号分别为GU363869和GU363870)与其它链球菌的16SrRNA基因同源性相似性在96.5%—100%之间,所测2株病原菌16SrRNA基因之间的同源性为100%。16SrRNA基因构建的系统进化树表明,2株病原菌均与无乳链球菌聚类。药敏试验结果表明,分离菌株对头孢类药物、阿莫西林、强力霉素等27种试验药物较敏感,对复方新诺明、卡那霉素等11种试验药物不敏感,对庆大霉素的敏感性不同。     

海水养殖鱼类鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)临床分离株的血清型和抗生素耐药谱

鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)是常见的海水鱼类病原菌,有23种血清型,其中O1—O3为主要的致病血清型。我国海水养殖鱼类鳗弧菌的血清型种类尚未明确。本研究对实验室分离和收集自海水养殖鱼类的31株鳗弧菌临床菌株进行了生理生化、16S r RNA基因序列、血清分型、抗生素敏感性的分析,旨在系统了解存在于我国海水养殖环境的鳗弧菌血清学型及耐药特征。首先用API ID32E生化反应鉴定系统对鳗弧菌进行生理生化鉴定,结果未能将待测菌株鉴定到种的水平;然后测定鳗弧菌的16S r RNA基因序列并构建系统发育树,结果显示所有分离株聚为一簇,与鳗弧菌有最近的亲缘关系(相似性99%—100%),据此可将临床菌株鉴定为鳗弧菌。以鳗弧菌O1—O5血清型标准菌株为O抗原制备兔抗血清,采用玻片凝集反应对鳗弧菌菌株进行血清学分析,结果显示属于O1、O2、O3、O5血清型菌株分别有16、5、3、1株,表明我国海水鱼类养殖存在3种血清型的致病性鳗弧菌,O1为主要流行的血清型。用ATB药敏检测系统检测鳗弧菌对28种抗生素的敏感性,结果显示菌株对7种抗生素(林可霉素、夫西地酸、甲硝唑、阿莫西林、阿莫西林/克拉维酸、苯唑西林、青霉素)的耐药率为100%,对3种抗生素(红霉素、原始霉素、泰洛星)的耐药率为94.4%(34株),有83%以上的菌株(30株)对12种以上的抗生素产生耐药,表明我国海水鱼类养殖鳗弧菌普遍存在多重耐药性。研究结果为进一步揭示鳗弧菌的流行病学规律和防控弧菌病奠定了良好的基础。     

基于线粒体COI和16S rRNA基因的中国沿海相手蟹系统发育研究

相手蟹科的诸多种类因其形态极其相似成为方蟹总科分类中疑问较多的一个类群。通过对中国沿海相手蟹线粒体COI和16S rRNA基因序列进行分子系统发育分析,结果表明14种相手蟹COI和16S rRNA基因序列之间差异分别为5.7%～14.5%和1.5%～12.1%,均达到了种间差异水平。构建的系统发育树显示,14种相手蟹分别为独立有效物种,但分属于拟相手蟹属和近相手蟹属的4种拟相手蟹和3种近相手蟹,没有分别形成2个独立的支系,而是混合聚成一大支系。而属于螳臂相手蟹属的无齿螳臂相手蟹则首先与属于中相手蟹属的中华中相手蟹聚成一支,再与红螯螳臂相手蟹聚为一大支,表现出与形态分类的不一致。错综复杂的分子系统关系预示着相手蟹类为多系起源,也表明它们之间的种间关系乃至于属间关系尚有诸多问题有待进一步厘定。     

浙江南部沿岸产卵场春、夏季鱼卵、仔稚鱼种类组成与分布

根据2011年4月、5月与6月对浙江南部沿岸产卵场进行的共3个航次的调查资料,对该海域的鱼卵、仔稚鱼的种类组成和数量分布进行了分析,结果表明,共发现鱼卵、仔稚鱼72个种类,分别隶属11目38科48属。其中鱼卵29种,分别隶属6目18科24属;仔稚鱼55种,分别隶属10目29科40属。4—6月仔稚鱼数量呈逐月递减的趋势,而鱼卵数量6月最多,5月最少。鱼卵优势种4月以斑鰶、棱鱚、小黄鱼与蓝点马鲛为主,5月以斑鰶、鳀、龙头鱼、银鲳、蓝点马鲛与石首鱼科为主,6月以鳀、龙头鱼、多鳞鱚与鲱科鱼类为主;仔稚鱼优势种4月以虾虎鱼类、褐菖鲉与平鲉科为主,5月以鳀、虾虎鱼类、棱鱚、斑鰶与长鳍篮子鱼为主,6月以鳀与虾虎鱼类为主。斑鰶、鲳鱼、小黄鱼、棱鱚、蓝点马鲛与褐菖鲉的产卵盛期为4月,而鳀与龙头鱼的产卵盛期为6月。     

高原湖泊鱼类生长特性与形态差异研究

根据2009年8—11月洱海流域采集的2991尾鱼类样本,研究了其生长特性与形态差异。结果表明,洱海流域大部分鱼类表现为匀速生长或近匀速生长,但有两种鱼类(中华青、大理裂腹鱼)呈现强异速生长。肥满度以吃食性鱼类最高(鲫、鲤、团头鲂),滤食性鱼类次之(鲢、鳙)。对主要优势种——麦穗鱼、鲫的形态分析表明,洱海麦穗鱼、鲫种群与西湖、茈碧湖、海西海三个湖泊的麦穗鱼、鲫种群在形态上均无显著差异。西湖、茈碧湖、海西海三个湖泊的麦穗鱼种群之间以及鲫种群之间均存在种群间差异(C.D<1.28),其中茈碧湖、海西海两个湖泊的鲫种群在眼径/头长性状上的差异达到亚种水平(C.D=1.5)。     

Asexual origin of brooding in the sea anemones Actinia equina and A. schmidti: molecular evidence from the Portuguese shore

Reproduction by sexual or asexual viviparity is a common phenomenon in some anemone species. In this short communication, the origin of the brooded young of Actinia equina and A. schmidti from the Portuguese shore was investigated. DNA was extracted from 56 brooding adult Actinia sp. and the nuclear gene that codes for the 28S ribosomal subunit was sequenced. Species identity was then assessed using GenBank. In total, 50 individuals were A. schmidti, five were A. equina and one had a hybrid origin. Three adult anemones (the hybrid, one A. equina and one A. schmidti) possessed two different 28S sequences and so their offspring was selected for further analysis using the same molecular procedure. Each brooded polyp was found to possess the exact same sequence as its parent, strongly suggesting the asexual origin of broods in A. equina and A. schmidti.     

Diversity and distribution of methane-oxidizing microbial communities associated with different faunal assemblages in a giant pockmark of the Gabon continental margin

A giant 800-m-diameter pockmark named REGAB was discovered on the Gabon continental margin actively emitting methane at a water depth of 3200 m. The microbial diversity in sediments from four different assemblages of chemosynthetic organisms, Mytilidae, Vesicomyidae, Siboglinidae and a bacterial mat, was investigated using comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Aggregates of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME-2) and bacteria of the Desulfosarcina/Desulfococcus cluster were found in all four chemosynthetic habitats. Fluorescence in situ hybridization targeting the ANME-2/Desulfosarcina/Desulfococcus aggregates showed their presence few centimeters (3–5 cm) below the surface of sediment. 16S rRNA gene sequences from all known marine ANME groups were detected in the pockmark sediments, as well as from both known bacterial partners. The archaeal diversity was limited to the ANME cluster for all investigated samples. The bacterial diversity included members of the Proteobacteria, Bacilliales, Cytophaga/Flavobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, JS1 and Actinobacteria clusters. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences related to those of known sulphide-oxidizing symbionts were recovered from tissues of several invertebrates including vesicomyid clams and siboglinid tubeworms of REGAB.     

大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)、星斑川鲽(Platichthys stellatus)及其杂交种的形态学分析

利用方差分析、聚类分析、判别分析和主成分分析等多元分析方法,对大菱鲆、星斑川鲽及其杂交种(大菱鲆♀×星斑川鲽♂)的可数性状和可量性状进行了分析。结果表明:(1)可数性状中,除腹鳍鳍条数外,杂交种与母本大菱鲆差异不显著,而与父本星斑川鲽差异极显著。(2)可量性状中,杂交种和大菱鲆差异不显著的性状占可量性状的45%,而与星斑川鲽都为显著差异。可量性状的杂种指数平均值为15.56,显示杂交种可量性状总体属于偏母本。(3)聚类分析表明,杂交种与大菱鲆形态较为接近,先聚为一支,再与星斑川鲽聚为一支。(4)主成分分析表明,共获得了4个主成分,其累积总变异的贡献率为73.49%。主成分散点图表明杂交种在形态差异上独立于大菱鲆和星斑川鲽。(5)判别分析表明,利用10个对结果影响贡献率较大的参数分别构建了其判别函数,对大菱鲆、星斑川鲽和杂交种的综合判别准确率达到98.9%,判别效果非常显著。研究认为,杂交种的形态与母本比较相似,但可以通过形态判别分析将三者进行区分判别。     

大口黑鲈(Micropterus salmoides)致病性维氏气单胞菌的分离鉴定及其特性分析

大口黑鲈(Micropterus salmoides)是我国重要的淡水养殖经济鱼类品种,目前包括细菌性疾病在内的诸多因素影响了其养殖业的健康发展。维氏气单胞菌是引起淡水鱼败血症和溃疡综合征的重要病原菌。从患病大口黑鲈肝脏组织中分离到1株病原菌,通过形态学观察、生理生化特性分析、16S rRNA序列和特定毒力基因分析对其进行鉴定,并通过人工回归感染试验和药敏试验分析其致病性和耐药性。结果表明该菌为致病性维氏气单胞菌(Aeromonas veronii),含有aer、act、lip、fla、gcaT和OMPA I等毒力基因;药敏试验显示其对头孢曲松、氯霉素、氟苯尼考、强力霉素、四环素、多粘菌素、复方新诺明、左氟沙星等8种抗生素高度敏感,对新霉素、恩诺沙星、庆大霉素、链霉素、阿齐霉素、环丙沙星等6种抗生素中度敏感,对其他8种抗生素具有一定耐药性;人工回归感染实验表明该菌具有较高的致病性,对大口黑鲈的半致死浓度为1.4×10⁶ CFU/mL。维氏气单胞菌是水产养殖中的条件性致病菌,研究结果揭示了该菌株的部分生物学特性,有利于丰富维氏气单胞菌属的基础数据,同时也为鲈鱼养殖过程中的病害防控提供了一定的参考依据。     

西南印度洋深海热液硫化物区沉积物微生物群落结构和固氮基因多样性

A sediment sample was collected from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent field located at a depth of 2 951 m on the Southwest Indian Ridge. Phylogenetic analyses were performed on the prokaryotic community using polymerase chain reaction（PCR） amplification of the 16 S rRNA and nifH genes. Within the Archaea, the dominant clones were from marine benthic group E（MBGE） and marine group I（MGI） belonging to the phyla Euryarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota, respectively. More than half of the bacterial clones belonged to the Proteobacteria, and most fell within the Gammaproteobacteria. No epsilonproteobacterial sequence was observed. Additional phyla were detected including the Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, Acidobacteria, Nitrospirae, Chloroflexi, Chlorobi, Chlamydiae, Verrucomicrobia, and candidate divisions OD1, OP11, WS3 and TM6, confirming their existence in hydrothermal vent environments. The detection of nifH gene suggests that biological nitrogen fixation may occur in the hydrothermal vent field of the Southwest Indian Ridge. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that only Clusters I and III NifH were present. This is consistent with the phylogenetic analysis of the microbial 16 S rRNA genes, indicating that Bacteria play the main role in nitrogen fixation in this hydrothermal vent environment.     

Temporal occurrence patterns and habitat use of fish in the Mangyeong estuary on the western coast of Korea in 2003, before dike enclosure

We documented the temporal occurrence patterns and habitat use of fish in the Mangyeong River estuary on the western coast of Korea from February to December 2003 based on monthly samples collected with a stow net. A total of 46 fish species were collected during the study period. Chelon haematocheilus, Konosirus punctatus, Neosalanx jordani, Sardinella zunasi, Synechogobius hasta, and Thryssa kammalensis were the predominate species, accounting for 84.4% of the collected fish. We classified the fish as brackish water (BF), coastal migratory (CMF), diadromous (DF), or freshwater (FF) fish. BF such as C. haematocheilus, S. hasta, and Coilia nasus were the most abundant and were collected almost year-round. As water temperatures increased in spring, adult CMF, such as K. punctatus, S. zunasi, T. kammalensis, T. adelae, Johnius grypotus, Miichthys miiuy, and Larimichthys polyactis, entered the estuary. In summer, large numbers of their juvenile offspring were caught, indicating a peak in fish abundance. The juveniles grew in the estuary before moving out to deeper waters for overwintering. Diadromous juveniles, such as those of Anguilla japonica (commonly known as glass eel), were collected in the spring during their upstream migration. FF, such as Carassius cuvieri and Acheilognathus rhombeus, were collected during the rainy season. In terms of the number of species, the number of individuals, and the biomass, the ratio of BF to all other fish type classifications in the Mangyeong Estuary (without a dam) was higher than that in the Geum River estuary (with a dam). The fish assemblage in the Mangyeong Estuary still maintained estuarine characteristics before dike enclosure, providing habitats for BF, nursery grounds for CMF, and migratory pathways for DF.     

荣成月湖潮间带单细胞趋磁细菌的多样性研究

Marine magnetotactic bacteria were collected from the intertidal sediments of Yuehu Lake(China), where their abundance reached 103–104 ind./cm3. Diverse morphotypes of magnetotactic bacteria were observed, including cocci and oval, vibrio-, spirillum-, rod-, elliptical-, handle- and bar-shaped forms. The magnetococci were the most abundant, and had flagella arranged in parallel within a bundle. The majority of magnetosomes were arranged in one, two or multiple chains, although irregular arrangements were also evident. All the results of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) analysis show that magnetosome crystals were composed of Fe3O4, and their morphology was specific to particular cell morphotypes. By the 16 S r RNA gene sequence analysis, we found fourteen operational taxonomic units(OTUs) which were related to magnetotactic bacteria. Among these, thirteen belonged to the Alphaproteobacteria and one to the Gammaproteobacteria.Compared with known axenic and uncultured marine magnetotactic bacteria, the 16 S r RNA gene sequences of most magnetotactic bacteria collected from the Yuehu Lake exhibited sequence identities ranging from 90.1% to96.2%(97%). The results indicate that microbial communities containing previously unidentified magnetotactic bacteria occur in the Yuehu Lake.     

Food utilisation by coastal fish assemblages in rocky and soft bottoms on the Swedish west coast: Inference for identification of essential fish habitats

The concept of essential fish habitats (EFHs) is widely accepted for conservational and management purposes. EFHs are often considered as high quality habitats for fisheries species and subsequently of high values for society. In this study, fish and Substrate-Associated Prey (SAP) were sampled during the productive summer season 1998 (fish) and 2003 and 2004 (SAP) in shallow coastal rocky- and soft-bottom habitats on the Swedish west coast. The aim was to study the spatial and monthly variation of SAP as well as abundance and biomass of fish, and to examine if food items found in the diet of the fish assemblage were derived from SAP. We also examined if the diet of Ctenolabrus rupestris, a resident and abundant fish species in the shallow coastal habitats, and the diet of four seasonally abundant and commercially important fish species (Gadus morhua, Pleuronectes platessa, Salmo trutta and Scomber scombrus) were derived from SAP. There were significantly higher mean species number and abundance of the SAP assemblage on rocky compared to soft bottoms and the highest values were found on the rocky bottoms in August and in the shallowest (0–3 m) depth strata. There were no significant differences in number of fish species caught in the two habitats, although mean number of fish and mean biomass were significantly higher on rocky bottoms. Both habitats showed the same seasonal variation and the highest values of number of fish species, abundance and biomass were observed in June. On rocky bottoms, gastropods and amphipods were the most frequent food items in the diet of the entire fish assemblage and these items were also the most abundant SAP in this habitat. The dominant food items of the soft-bottom fish assemblage were decapods and fish, which were not common SAP. However, except for S. scombrus, the diet of the selected fish species showed a strong association to the SAP availability. Gadus morhua displayed the strongest association to SAP on rocky bottoms and P. platessa and C. rupestris to SAP on soft bottoms. Further, for C. rupestris, multivariate statistical analysis showed a significant association to the SAP assemblage on both rocky and soft bottoms. These results provide vital new information for the management and conservation of Essential Fish Habitats on the Swedish west coast.
