Effects of temperature and salinity on the development of the amphipod crustacean Eogammarus sinensis

The amphipod crustacean Eogammarus sinensis has useful features that make it suitable for use in the aquaculture of fish and large decapod crustaceans.In this study,we investigated the effects of temperature and salinity on the development,fecundity,survival,and growth rate of E.sinensis.The results show that temperature significantly affected E.sinensis development,but salinity.As temperature increased,the duration of E.sinensis embryonic development decreased.Fecundity was affected significantly by temperature and the combination of temperature and salinity,but by salinity alone.In addition,high temperatures accelerated E.sinensis juvenile growth rates,whereas high salinity reduced it.Therefore,our data suggest that E.sinensis tolerates a wide range of salinities and that temperature has more significant effects than salinity on the embryonic development,fecundity,and growth of E.sinensis.Our results shall be useful for mass production of this species for use in aquaculture.     

对虾养殖池生态环境的人工调控及其特征

通过人工调控对虾养殖池的水色、透明度、溶解氧和COD,建立了较稳定的对虾养殖生态体系.其特征为,生产力水平高,物质循环速度快,各项水质指标在一定范围内的变化幅度和变化速度较快.提出了人工调控虾池生态环境应以维持稳定的浮游植物种群结构和数量为主要内容,同时,讨论了浮游植物种群结构及数量与相关因素的关系.     

脊尾白虾肌球蛋白重链和肌球蛋白轻链基因的克隆与表达分析

肌球蛋白重链和肌球蛋白轻链是粗肌丝的重要组成单位,其表达量的高低影响肌纤维的组成和肌肉生长。为了解析肌球蛋白重链(Myosin heavy chain,MHC)和肌球蛋白轻链(Myosin light chain,MLC)基因在脊尾白虾(Exopalaemon carinicauda)生长发育中的作用,采用RACE技术,克隆了脊尾白虾EcMHC2、EcMLC1全长cDNA序列,采用实时荧光定量PCR方法分析了EcMHC2、EcMLC1在脊尾白虾不同组织、不同幼体发育时期及大小差异个体在不同生长时期的表达特征。研究显示,脊尾白虾EcMHC2基因(GenBank:MG545144)全长5 929bp,开放阅读框5 727bp,编码1 909个氨基酸;脊尾白虾EcMLC1基因(GenBank:MG545145)全长1 506bp,开放阅读框459bp,编码153个氨基酸。脊尾白虾肌球蛋白重链和肌球蛋白轻链在系统进化上与其它十足目甲壳动物的关系较近。脊尾白虾EcMHC2、EcMLC1在各组织中均有表达,但主要在肌肉组织内表达。在脊尾白虾幼体发育的不同时期,EcMHC2、EcMLC1在溞状幼体Ⅱ期的表达量显著高于溞状幼体的其它时期;仔虾第一天,EcMHC2、EcMLC1的表达量显著高于其它时期。在脊尾白虾生长的四个阶段中,大个体组EcMHC2的表达量均显著的高于小个体组;60、80和120日龄时期,大个体组的EcMLC1表达量显著的高于小个体组;在大个体和小个体组中,EcMHC2、EcMLC1在80日龄的表达量最高。脊尾白虾EcMHC2、EcMLC1在大个体组与小个体组的差异表达提示它们在脊尾白虾生长发育过程中发挥重要作用。
