ECOLOGICAL SERIES OF SOIL ANIMALS IN DARLIDAI MOUNTAIN

The ecological series of soil animals under the broad-leaved and pine mixed forest in Darlidai Mountainwas studied. Seven sample plots were selected according to different altitude gradients, which belong to different vegeta-tion types. By investigating and analyzing soil animals in every sample plot it is found that there are 45 groups and 1956individuals, which axe involved in 3 phylums, 7 classes, 16 orders, respectively. The altitude is a key factor which af-fects ecological series of soil animals. Both the groups and individuals of soil animals increase with altitude increasingunder certain conditions, which contrastes with ordinary cases, resulting from special micro-climate in studied area. Thegroups and individuls of soil animals are the most under the broad-leaved and pine forest on the top of the mountain, andthe least under Picea-Abies forest in the foot of the mountain.     

Heat-shock protein 70 expression in shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis during thermal and immune-challenged stress

Using western immunoblotting, we obtained heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) induction data and distribution in different tissues from shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis during thermal and immune-challenged stresses. This is probably the first report of the effects of various stressors on the expression of HSP70 in shrimp.HSP70 was prominently induced in hepatopancreas and gills, but not in muscle, eyestalk and hemolymph, when the shrimp were exposed to heat shock and Vibrio anguillavium-challenged stresses. Cold shock and WSSV treatment had no significant effects on the levels of HSP70 expression in all tissues examined. HSP70 induction was greatest after 2 h exposure to heat shock stress, which was elevated after acute heat shock exposure of 10℃ above ambient temperature.     

Final report of IGCP Project 410 （1997-2002）——The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia. E-mail： bwebby@laurel.ocs.mq.edu.au

In 1997, IGCP Project No. 410 was established to appraise known records of Ordovician biotas, in order to evaluate one of the greatest-ever diversifications of life on Earth, between 489 and 443 million years ago. Data collection and analysis of biodiversity were coordinated through seven regional teams, and a global“clade” team.     

石花菜夏茬养殖的技术试验

本文报道了石花菜夏茬养殖中存在的三个生产问题的试验结果。结果表明,利用绳养的春茬石花菜,以采枝法收获后,留下底茬进行夏茬养殖,其效果则是产量稳定,省去分苗夹绳的工序,节约了人力,节约了时间,使一年连养三茬成为可能。另外,放养夏茬的种菜,采用踩洗法可以解决苗种上附着物的清除问题,采用多种防治措施能抑制养殖中附着物的危害。多茬养殖的苗种用营养繁殖解决之后,开展双绳养殖提高光能的利用,可以提高产量达60%以上。石花菜的夏茬养殖试养了5亩,结果表明,养殖技术可行,克服了烂苗、掉苗及敌害生物的影响。     

大海龟——为了生存的挣扎

如果你正在搜集热心的人是如何动员起来帮助一个物种的故事,那么全球范围的拯救大海龟行动将是一个很好的例子。如果不是世界各地人们的积极参与,能在海洋中游过数千千米的这些古老生物,虽然寿命超过人类,但可能已经彻底灭绝了。     

ENERGY FLOW OF BELIAMYA AERUGINOSA IN A SHALLOW ALGAL LAKE, HOUHU LAKE （WUHAN, CHINA）

The energy budget ofBellamya earuginosa in a shallow algal lake, Houhu Lake (Wuhan, China) was investigated by the measurement of flesh production (32.8 kJ/(m²·a)), egestion (337.7 kJ/(m²·a)), metabolism (246.7 kJ/(m²·a)), and estimation of excretion (21.4kJ/(m²·a)). The net growth efficiency of the species is about 10.9%, which accords with the generally reported value for gastropods. In addition, the relationships between starvation respiration (R, mgO₂/(Ind·d)), body weight (Wd, mg in dry wt) and temperature (T, °C) were also determined. The regression equationR=0.044Wd ^0.537 e ^0.061T was obtained by the least square method, The measured SDA of the species is 26.51% of its gross metabolism. Project No. 3960019 and 39430101 supported by NSFC and also a granted for the East Lake Ecological Experimental Station, CAS, Wuhan.     

利用资源优势,加速发展信阳水产养殖业

一、发展水产养殖业的条件1.气候条件优越本区年日照2000小时左右,日照率为49％,七、八月份日照长,日照率为55％;年平均气温15——15.5℃,无霜期220天,冻结期仅一个月,水温≥14℃的时间220天,为水生生物和鱼类的生长繁育提供良好的热量条件;平均年降雨量1000—1200毫米,年际变化相对较小,可保证水体相对稳定的水位和水深,有利于水体原初生产力的提高和鱼类养殖与管理。虽然有春雨较多,光照不足,干旱和暴雨等不利影响,但从总体上看,各气候要素及其时空组
