Model Validation and Performance Evaluation for The Multi-Tethered Aerostat Subsystem of the Large Adaptive Reflector

The Canadian design for the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope includes a large multi-tethered aerostat to support the telescope’s receiver. To validate this design concept, two parallel tracks have been undertaken: a numerical simulation of the multi-tethered aerostat system has been assembled, and a one-third scale prototype of the system has been constructed. This paper describes the experimental facility, presents results from initial tests of the uncontrolled system and compares these results to the predictions of the computer model of the system. Generally, the results compare very favourably. Using the simulation, we arrive at two important design philosophies to be used in the design of the full-scale system: (a) perturbations on the confluence point should be minimized, and (b) the system stiffness should be maximized to ensure minimum response to disturbances.     

Reduced growth in hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus ×O. Niloticus) at intermediate stocking density

Hybrid tilapia were reared at densities of 1, 5 or 10 fish per tank for four weeks. Mortality was 0 at 1 and 10 fish per tank, but was 25% at 5 fish per tank. Specific growth rate was highest at 1 fish per tank, and lowest at 5 fish per tank. The lower growth rate at the intermediate stocking density was associated with reduced feed efficiency, but there was no reduction in feed intake or digestibility. The results suggested increased metabolic cost caused by aggressive behaviour at intermediate stocking density, which can be suppressed by a further increase in density. This project was financially supported by the State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology of China and by Shanghai Fisheries University (Project SFU. 200003).

Breeding and mass scale rearing of clownfish Amphiprion percula: feeding and rearing in brackishwater

Breeding and mass scale larval rearing of clownfish Amphiprion percula is very limited in brackishwater. We designed an indoor program of A. percula culture in brackishwater with a salinity of 24±1, during which the impacts of feed type, water temperature, and light intensity, on the efficiency of its reproduction, were revealed. The fish were accommodated along with sea anemones in fibre glass tanks to determine the influence of brooder diet on breeding efficiency. Higher reproductive efficiency [number of eggs laid (276 22.3 eggs)] was observed when fish were fed live Acetes sp. rather than clam (204 16.4 eggs), trash fish (155 12 eggs) and formulated feed (110 10 eggs). The spawning rate was increased during September and October (water temperature, 28.74 0.55°C) on average of 2.4 spawning per month; and low spawning rate was in January (water temperature, 24.55 0.45°C) on average of 1 spawning per month. Among three light intensities (100, 500, and 900 lx) set to evaluate larval survival rate, larvae showed the highest survival rate (65.5%) at 900 lx. The breeding method specifically in brackishwater developed in the present study is a new approach, will help the people from the regions of estuary and backwater to enhance their livelihood and it will lead to reduce the exploitation from the wild habitat.

育肥饲料中添加β-胡萝卜素对中华绒螯蟹雌体卵巢发育、抗氧化免疫性能和组织色泽的影响

为研究饲料中添加β-胡萝卜素对中华绒螯蟹成体雌蟹育肥效果的影响,分别在饲料中添加不同浓度的人工合成β-胡萝卜素,配制五组实验饲料(β-胡萝卜素测定含量分别为3.3、56.7、108.9、207.9和320.0 mg/kg)投喂生殖蜕壳后雌蟹,评价了饲料中添加β-胡萝卜素对增重率(WGR)、性腺指数(GSI)、肝胰腺指数(HSI)、常规生化组成、抗氧化和免疫指标、色泽参数和类胡萝卜素含量的影响。结果显示:(1)饲料中添加人工合成β-胡萝卜素对雌蟹育肥期间的WGR、GSI和HSI均无显著影响,但饲料中添加β-胡萝卜素显著增加了中华绒螯蟹肝胰腺中总脂含量;(2)就抗氧化和免疫指标而言,肝胰腺和血淋巴中SOD、T-AOC、GSH-Px、AKP和ACP免疫相关酶活均随着饲料中β-胡萝卜素添加量的增加呈“先增加后降低”的变化趋势,饲料中β-胡萝卜素含量为100～200 mg/kg时,组织中抗氧化和免疫相关酶活最高;(3)卵巢、肝胰腺和蟹壳中虾青素和β-胡萝卜素含量均随着饲料中β-胡萝卜素添加量的增加而显著增加,但饲料中添加β-胡萝卜素仅显著增加了卵巢和肝胰腺红度值(a*)。综上,饲料中添加人工合成...

矿物和稀土在饲料工业中的应用

矿物质作为一种重要的饲料添加剂的作用日益为人们所重视。按其作用可划分为营养性添加剂（包括取自矿物中的钙、磷、镁、盐类物质等）以及非营养性添加剂（粘土类矿物、膨润土、海泡石、珍珠岩、蛭石及稀土元素等）。国内外信息表明,矿物饲料添加剂的开发与应用具有广阔的前景。
