Self-feeding device is extensively used in aquaculture farms, but for salmonids the individual feeding behavior has seldom been continuously observed. In this article, the individual self-feeding behavior of 10 rainbow trout was continuously monitored with a PIT tag record for 50 days with three replicates. The fish fell into three categories according to their feeding behavior, i.e. high triggering fish (trigger behavior more than 25% of the group, HT), low triggering fish (1%–25%, LT) and zero triggering fish (less than 1%). The results showed that in a group of 10 individual 1–2 HT fish accounted for most of the self-feeding behavior (78.19%–89.14%), which was far more than they could consume. The trigger frequency of the fish was significantly correlated with the initial body weight (P <0.01), however, no significant difference in growth rate among the HT, LT, and ZT fish was observed (P >0.05). Cosinor analysis showed that the two HT fish in the same group had similar acrophase. Though some of the HT fish could be active for 50 d, there were also HT fish decreased triggering behavior around 40 d and the high trigger status was then replaced by other fish, which was first discovered in salimonds. Interestingly, the growth of the group was not affected by the alternation triggering fish. These results provide evidence that in the self-feeding system the HT fish didn’t gain much advantage by their frequent self-feeding behavior, and high trigger status of the HT fish is not only an individual character but also driven by the demand of the group. In the self-feeding system, the critical individual should be closely monitored.
The Luzon Strait is the only deep channel that connects the South China Sea(SCS) with the Pacific.The transport through the Luzon Strait is an important process influencing the circulation,heat and water budgets of the SCS.Early observations have suggested that water enters the SCS in winter but water inflow or outflow in summer is quite controversial.On the basis of hydrographic measurements from CTD along 120° E in the Luzon Strait during the period from September 18 to 20 in 2006,the characteristics of t... 相似文献
Urban expansion is a phenomenon of urban space increase, and an important measuring index of the process of urbanization.
Taking Shanghai as an example, the changes of urban average height and built-up area were studied to represent city’s vertical
and horizontal increases respectively, and statistical methods were used to analyze the driving forces of urban expansion.
The research drew following conclusions: 1) The urban expansion process of Shanghai from 1985 to 2006 had a clear periodic
feature, and could be divided into three stages: vertical expansion in dominance, coordinated vertical and horizontal expansion,
and horizontal expansion in dominance. 2) The average height and quantity of buildings in core city were significantly bigger
than those in suburbs, but the changing speed of the latter was faster. And 3) urbanization process was the major driving
force for the city’s horizontal expansion, while industrial structure improvement was the key driving factor for the vertical
expansion. Those two driving forces were simultaneously affected by city’s political factors. 相似文献
Base on ECOMSED model, a theree-dimensional hydrodynamic model is developed in the offshore area near the Changjing Estuary in the East China Sea. This model in driven by tide and wind,as well as inflow and outflowcurrents such as Kuroshio,Changjing runoff. The horizontal resolution is 1/20°. There have 11 layers on the verticaldirection. The numerical results of 4 main constituents of tide(M2,S2,K1,O1)and currents are in good agreement with observation data. Compared with 20 gauge stations,the mean absolute erroe between the caluclated M2 tidal amplitude and the observed oned is only 6.72cm; the mean absolute error of phased-lag is 5.23°.For S2,the mean absolute errors of amplitude and phased-lag are 3.67cm and 7.21°,respectively. The mean absolute errors of amplitude and phased-lag for K1 are 3.25cm and 6.63° For O1,the mean absolute error of calculation and observation is relatively small, amwith observation data measured during Aug., 2006 in the East China Sea.The correlation coeffiients of current between simulation and observation are greater than 0.75 generally. The three-dimensional hydrodynamic model develiped by this paper can well describe the characters of elevation and current in the offshore near the Changjiang Estuary and can be used as hydrodynamic background to simulate the suspend sediment transport in this sea area. 相似文献
In the recent paper by Tai-Wen Hsu, John R.-C. Hsu, Wen-Kai Weng, Swun-Kwang Wang, and Shan-Hwei Ou (Coastal Engineering, 53, 865–877, 2006), the authors derived theoretical formulations for calculating the wave setup and setdown induced by obliquely incident waves on a beach. The derivation of an expression for setdown contains errors which would lead to an imbalance in longshore momentum flux outside the surfzone. We correct their derivation and give results in terms of the radiation stress concept in a general case including an oblique wave incidence. We also point out that the correct form of wave setdown is important to describe the zero-net force in the momentum balance outside the surfzone. 相似文献
