Pseudodiapto,mus dubia is a calanoid copepod abundant in the mariculture ponds of southern China.However,our understanding of the population dynamics of P.dubia in aquaculture ponds is limited.In this study,groups of larval P.dubia were each fed a different microalgal species,and the effects of these different diets on development,survival,and reproduction were assessed.The five microalgae used were species common in aquaculture farms in China,and included two chlorophytes(Chlorella saccharophila and Platymonas subcordiformis),one golden microalga(Isochrysis zhan.jiangensis),and two diatoms(Chaetoceros muelleri and Cyclotella meneghinia,na).Our results indicated that C.saccharophila was not a suitable food for larval P.dubia,as all larvae fed this microalga died at stage Ⅲ(as copepodites).The survival rates of P.dubia larvae fed C.muelleri,Ⅰ. zhanjiangensis,and P.subcordiformis were significantly higher than that of larvae fed C.meneghiniana.In the adult stage,copepods fed C.muelleri,I. zhanjiangensis,and C.meneghiniana produced more nauplii(430-566 nauplii/female),had higher intrinsic growth rates(0.2-0.253/d),and better longevity(59-60 days)than those fed P.subcordiformis.Our results therefore suggest that P.dubia has different nutritional needs and food preferences at different life stages.For example,P.subcordifonnis was suitable for developing larvae but not for breeding adults,while C.meneghiniana was suitable for breeding adults but not for developing larvae.Both C.muelleri and I.zhanjiangensis were excellent foods for P.dubia throughout the entire life cycle. 相似文献
A new species of free-living marine nematode of the genus Paramonohystera was described from the intertidal beach,Weihai.Paramonohystera weihaiensis sp.nov.is characterized by cervical region with a circle of long setae;tail sexual dimorphism,male tail angled dorsally with sharp narrowed of the body at the cloaca,female tail ordinary conico-cylindrical; spicules slender,2.5 abd long; gubemaculum plate,enlarged distal end with two teeth,without apophysis; precloacal supplements absent;Four caudal gland cells obviously extended to tail.The new species differs from the other fourteen known valid congeners by the combination of its characteristics:a circle of long cervical setae,tail sexual dimorphism,spicules slender,2.5 abd long,gubernaculum plate with a distal pair of teeth. 相似文献
Analysis of 2D seismic data over 4 500 km in length from the Madura Strait Basin in the East Java Sea reveals seismic reflection characteristics of reefs and associated sedimentary bodies, including asymmetrical or symmetrical dome reflections, slope progradational reflections, chaotic reflections and discontinuous strong reflections inside the reef, which onlap the flank of the reef. It is concluded that the developmental paleo-environment of most reefs is mainly conducive to shallow marine carbonate platform facies and platform margin facies, based on well core data, variations in seismic facies and strata thickness. The formation and evolution of all reefs are primarily influenced by the tectonic framework of the Madura Strait Basin. Platform margin reefs are principally controlled by two types of structures: one is a series of E-W trending Paleogene normal faults, and the other is an E-W trending Neogene inversion structures. In addition, wave actions, tidal currents and other ocean currents play an accelerated role in sorting, rounding and redeposition for the accumulation and evolution of reefs. Tertiary reefs in the MSB can be divided into four types: 1) an open platform coral reef of Late Oligocene to Early Miocene, 2) a platform margin coral reef controlled by normal faults in Late Oligocene to Early Miocene, 3) a platform margin Globigerina moundreef controlled by a “hidden” inversion structure in Early Pliocene, and 4) a platform margin Globigerina mound-reef controlled by thrust faults in the early Pliocene. Patterns of the formation and evolution of reefs are also suggested.
