Abundance of brown trout as related to littoral zone gradient in Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri,New Zealand

Adult brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) in lakes are primarily littoral/benthic foragers. We predicted that the distribution of adult brown trout in lakes would be shaped by foraging demands, and that they would be more abundant in gently sloping littoral areas, that is, littoral areas that have a greater space available to support benthic foraging habitats. To address this hypothesis, we measured abundance of brown trout among littoral areas with different gradients in Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri. There was a significant negative relationship between littoral zone gradient and relative abundance (CPUE) of adult brown trout. This result supports the hypothesis that brown trout aggregate in littoral areas with greater amounts of foraging habitat in Fiordland lakes.     

贝藻混养对大西洋鲑养殖废水的生物滤除

养殖废水的综合利用与无公害化处理排放是实现水产养殖业健康可持续发展的重要保障。作者采用太平洋牡蛎(Crassostrea gigas)及龙须菜(Gracilaria lemaneiformis)混养和单养的方式处理大西洋鲑工业化循环水养殖系统排放的废水,设置贝类组、藻类组、贝藻组3组处理,探讨了贝藻混养方式和贝类、藻类单养对废水中主要水质因子(N、P营养盐、化学需氧量(COD)和总悬浮颗粒物(TSS))的处理效率,实验周期为30 d。结果表明,牡蛎和龙须菜混养的方式处理养殖废水效果较好,其对氮、磷营养盐、COD及TSS的去除效率分别为:总氨态氮41.67%±8.82%、硝酸盐氮33.96%±0.34%、总磷7.18%±0.03%、COD 78.87%±1.82%和TSS 70.50%±1.65%,而亚硝酸盐氮出现一定的积累。综合分析,牡蛎和龙须菜混养的方式处理养殖废水的效率优于牡蛎和龙须菜的单独处理。     

超声成像技术在大西洋鲑早期性别及发育期鉴别的应用研究

采用KX-5100便携式B超机(7.5MHz高频线阵探头)对273尾1龄或2龄大西洋鲑(Salmo salar)的性别及性腺发育阶段进行了检测,同时对检测的大西洋鲑进行了解剖和取样,利用组织学观察法验证了超声成像技术对大西洋鲑雌雄性别和发育阶段的鉴别结果。研究结果显示:利用超声成像技术鉴别雌、雄大西洋鲑的平均准确率为86%,且鉴别雌鱼的准确率(93%)较雄鱼(81%)高。超声成像技术鉴别Ⅱ期+Ⅲ期、Ⅳ期、Ⅴ期卵巢的准确率分别为87%、92%和100%,鉴别Ⅱ期、Ⅲ期、Ⅳ期、Ⅴ期精巢的准确率分别为64%、71%、86%和84%。总体看来,超声成像技术鉴别早期性腺(Ⅱ期~Ⅲ期)发育的准确率较低,仅为75%,而对晚期性腺(Ⅳ期~Ⅴ期)发育鉴别的准确率较高,达到89%。
