为提高紫黑翼蚌(Potamilus alatus)繁殖效率,探讨寄生对淡水石首鱼(Aplodinotus grunniens)营养指标的影响,实验通过比较钩介幼虫脱落数量,测试了不同规格寄主鱼的寄生效果,分析了寄生对寄主鱼血清生化指标及肌肉中氨基酸、脂肪酸含量的变化。结果显示:大规格组每尾鱼脱落数显著高于小规格组(P<0.05),小规格组每千克寄生鱼平均脱落稚贝数显著高于大规格组(P<0.05);寄生导致肌肉中肌酐显著升高(P<0.05),谷丙转氨酶、谷草转氨酶和乳酸脱氢酶显著降低(P<0.05),血糖、总蛋白、白蛋白、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白和低密度脂蛋白与对照组无显著性差异(P>0.05);寄生组灰分与对照组无显著性差异(P>0.05),寄生组肌肉水分和粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05),粗蛋白显著低于对照组(P<0.05);寄生组天冬氨酸、丙氨酸、谷氨酸、酪氨酸、甘氨酸和精氨酸含量显著低于对照组(P<0.05),非必需氨基酸含量显著低于对照组(P<0.05),其他氨基酸之间无显著性差异(P>0.05)...     

三角帆蚌钩介幼虫在两种寄主鱼上的寄生效果及其对寄主鱼血浆生化指标的影响

利用黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvldraco)、尼罗罗非鱼(Tilapia nilotica)对三角帆蚌(Hyriopsis cumingii)钩介幼虫进行了寄生实验,分析了幼虫在寄主鱼上的寄生周期和脱落数量与寄主种类、寄主鱼单尾体重的相关关系.以未寄生幼虫的罗非鱼为空白对照,测定分析了罗非鱼在幼虫寄生前、脱落后主要血浆生化指标的变化.实验结果显示:黄颡鱼、罗非鱼平均每千克体重脱落稚贝的数量分别为(26 435±6 430)只、(26 327±3 091)只,两种寄主鱼间不存在显著差异;脱落的稚贝数量随着寄主鱼体重的增加而增加,并呈显著线性相关.在水温(24±1)℃条件下,黄颡鱼组、罗非鱼组的稚贝脱落高峰分别出现在寄生后的第8 d、第7 d,罗非鱼组表现为明显的"早脱落"现象.罗非鱼在寄生前后血浆总蛋白(TP)、白蛋白(Alb)、总糖(Glu)、总胆固醇(Tc)和高密度脂蛋白(HDL)含量均未出现显著变化,而血浆甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)含量显著下降(P=0.001,0.020).未寄生组罗非鱼的7项指标均未出现明显变化.实验结果将为三角帆蚌钩介幼虫变态发育相关营养因子的探讨提供理论参考.

褶纹冠蚌钩介幼虫非寄生变态发育观察及早期稚蚌的生长

为揭示褶纹冠蚌钩介幼虫变态发育特征及过程,采用体外培养方法实现了褶纹冠蚌钩介幼虫的非寄生变态发育。运用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜对变态发育过程中幼虫外部形态、内部器官发育进行了系列观察,对非寄生变态发育的稚蚌后期生长发育进行跟踪研究,并分析了底泥和光照两种环境因子对稚蚌存活及生长的影响。结果显示:在整个培养过程中,钩介幼虫的外部形态及大小未出现显著性变化,而斧足、鳃丝、外套膜及内脏团等组织器官逐步形成;在培养第3天,幼虫可见斧足雏形,鳃丝、外套膜纤毛尚未发现;在培养第6天,斧足成形,可见斧足侧沟,外套膜纤毛稀疏,鳃丝出现;培养第9天,斧足纤毛、外套膜纤毛增多,鳃丝密集。稚蚌投喂30d后,鳃丝基本成形。养殖试验结果表明:底泥对稚蚌存活和生长具有显著影响（P < 0.01）,而光照无显著性影响（P>0.05）。该结果为蚌科钩介幼虫变态发育生物学研究积累了基础资料,也通过对稚蚌生长的评估证实了体外培养是蚌类人工繁育及保护的有效技术途径。     

大亚湾养殖鱼类寄生车轮虫的种类组成与季节动态

2017年8月至2018年7月对大亚湾8种养殖鱼类的车轮虫感染情况进行了调查, 采用Lom倡导的“统一特定方法”及Van As & Basson提出的“齿体定位描述法”对采获的车轮虫标本进行了形态鉴定与描述。结果在卵形鲳鲹(Trachinotus ovatus)、星点笛鲷(Lutjanus stellatus)、鞍带石斑鱼(Epinephelus lanceolatus)、眼斑拟石首鱼(Sciaenops ocellatus)和虎龙杂交斑[E. fuscoguttatus (♀) × E. lanceolatus (♂)]等5种鱼上共检获5种车轮虫: 亚卓车轮虫(Trichodina jadranica)、莱普斯车轮虫(T. lepsii)、长须鳠车轮虫(T. guliae)、劳牧小车轮虫(Trichodinella lomi)和斜拟车轮虫(Paratrichodina oblique); 其中卵形鲳鲹5种虫均有寄生, 虎龙杂交斑感染了4种虫, 星点笛鲷、眼斑拟石首鱼和鞍带石斑鱼分别感染了3种、2种和1种虫。周年感染数据表明: 5种虫的感染率均以卵形鲳鲹最高, 眼斑拟石首鱼上2种虫的感染率最低; 莱普斯车轮虫平均感染强度最高的宿主是虎龙杂交斑, 其他4种虫的均是卵形鲳鲹。寄生车轮虫的季节动态表明: 冬季的感染率和平均感染强度较低; 不同虫种感染高峰出现的季节不一, 其中斜拟车轮虫的感染高峰出现在秋季, 其春夏秋季的平均感染强度均大于其他4种虫。研究填补了大亚湾海区鱼类寄生车轮虫研究的空缺, 为该海区车轮虫病的诊断与防控提供了参考。     

眼斑拟石首鱼虹彩病毒病的诊断

对广东省珠海市每年6—10月池塘养殖的眼斑拟石首鱼(Sciaenop socellatus)暴发不明原因疾病进行了研究。通过对该病的流行病学调查,结合症状观察、病原分离鉴定、病理学变化,结果显示:该病具有明显的传染性,解剖病鱼可见鳃丝贫血、脾脏和肾脏肿大、出血,通过镜检未检测到大量的寄生虫;从发病鱼的肝、脾、肾脏和肠中未分离到致病菌;在病鱼肝、脾和肾组织病理切片中观察到有大量肿大细胞;通过使用OIE 推荐的虹彩病毒特异性引物进行PCR扩增出570 bp左右的目的片段,MCP基因序列比对显示扩增获得的基因序列与真鲷虹彩病毒(RSIV)的基因序列同源性高达99.2%。综合以上结果表明导致眼斑拟石首鱼发病死亡的原因是感染了细胞肿大属虹彩病毒而引起的虹彩病毒病。     

眼斑拟石首鱼重复DNA序列的染色体定位

针对眼斑拟石首鱼Sciaenops ocellatus染色体标记匮乏的问题, 利用荧光原位杂交(FISH)定位了眼斑拟石首鱼的18S rDNA、5S rDNA和端粒序列。结果显示, 眼斑拟石首鱼的核型公式为2n=48t; 仅有1对18S rDNA位点, 位于第1对染色体的次缢痕部位; 有2对5S rDNA位点, FISH信号强度不等, 强信号位于第8对染色体的近着丝粒端, 弱信号位于第3对染色体的臂间。端粒FISH信号出现于所有染色体的两端, 但表现出染色体两端信号不平衡的特点, 着丝粒端FISH信号明显强于远端信号。这一特点为判定染色体的方向提供了便利。结合其他石首鱼的核型数据可以推断, 2n=48t的核型及单对近着丝粒分布的18S rDNA位点是石首鱼的共同祖征; 在石首鱼进化过程中, 曾发生活跃但不影响宏观核型的小规模重排。研究结果丰富了眼斑拟石首鱼染色体的辨识标记, 并为研究石首鱼染色体进化提供了基础数据。     

育珠蚌的生物学特性及其繁殖技术

育珠蚌的繁殖比较特别,发生中的钩介幼虫一定要寄生在鱼的鳃和鳍条上,赖以生存而变态成稚蚌。由于大部分的钩介幼虫遇不到中间宿主而夭折,所以,靠天然增殖育珠蚌资源是十分有限的,不能满足育珠生产发展的需要。为了改变这一状况,适应育珠生产发展的需要,人们开展了人工繁殖育珠蚌的技术研究。现将其生物学特性及繁殖要点介绍于下:一、育珠蚌的生物学特性育珠蚌是软体动物,体外有两片对称的蚌壳包被,蚌壳呈墨色或黄褐色,由三层组成。最外层为角质层,中间为棱柱层,内层为珍珠层。上述     

斑痣悬茧蜂对斜纹夜蛾不同虫龄幼虫的选择及后代发育表现

为探究容性寄生蜂对不同龄期寄主幼虫的选择性及其子代蜂发育表现的关联,通过双选试验观察了斑痣悬茧蜂(Meteorus pulchricornis)对斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera litura)不同虫龄幼虫的寄生选择,并观察了与子代蜂适合度相关的特性表现.结果表明:斑痣悬茧蜂在4龄与5龄之间未表现出偏好,在2龄和3龄、3龄和4龄之间显著偏好较低虫龄;结茧率在不同寄主虫龄间无显著差异,羽化率随寄主虫龄增大而减小,寄生2、3龄幼虫的子代蜂显著高于寄生5龄;寄生5龄幼虫的子代蜂死亡率比寄生2龄的高2.5倍,比寄生3龄的高5.4倍.寄生3龄幼虫的子代蜂发育历期最短(11.9 d),比寄生4龄幼虫的短6.8 d,比寄生2龄幼虫的短4.7 d;子代蜂体型大小在寄生的寄主虫龄间无显著差异.根据研究结果推测,斑痣悬茧蜂在寄生时可能不是根据寄主龄期来评价寄主品质,而是基于寄主体型大小进行评价.     

甜菜夜蛾不同龄期幼虫被斑痣悬茧蜂寄生的风险分析

寄生蜂的寄主识别期是构建最优接受寄主模型的重要参数之一。本研究观察了斑痣悬茧蜂(Meteorus pulchricornis)对甜菜夜蛾(Spodoptera exigua)不同龄期幼虫的识别期,并首次用生存分析方法估计寄主被寄生的风险以及寄生经历对寄主识别期的影响。结果表明:在2.5h观察期内,除1龄寄主幼虫外,其他各龄(2~5龄)幼虫均被寄生;对首次寄主识别期的Cox回归模型拟合分析表明,与2龄寄主幼虫(参照虫龄)相比,3~5龄寄主幼虫被寄生的累计风险比率显著高于2龄寄主幼虫(2·6~4·0倍),而对再次寄主识别期的分析未发现3~5龄寄主幼虫与2龄幼虫之间存在显著差异。根据对首次与再次寄主识别期进行的生存曲线比较表明,对2~4龄幼虫的再次寄主识别期显著短于首次寄主识别期;说明寄生经历显著提高了寄生蜂的寄主识别期。由此推测,较高龄期甜菜夜蛾幼虫被无寄生经验斑痣悬茧蜂寄生的风险高于低龄幼虫。     

Do individual Activity Patterns of Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) alter the Exposure to Parasitic Freshwater Pearl Mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) Larvae?

The hypothesis that interindividual differences in the activity of brown trout alter the exposure to parasitic freshwater pearl mussel glochidia was tested in a Swedish stream. Wild yearling brown trout (N = 103) were caught, individually tagged for identification and scored for open‐field activity during standardized laboratory tests in June. Fifty gravid freshwater pearl mussels were relocated to the stream, where after the trout were released back into the stream. The fish were recaptured in October (N = 35), checked for glochidia encystment (infested individuals: n = 6) and re‐scored for open‐field activity traits. Swimming velocity during the test was higher in fish infected with glochidia, suggesting that high activity could increase their exposure to glochidia. Potentially, as metabolism rate and ventilation rate typically increase with activity, elevated activity may lead to an increased likelihood of glochidia passing over the gills. This novel finding suggests that glochidia infestation is non‐random and that the behaviour of the host fish can influence the likelihood of glochidia infestation.     

Physiological and ecological hosts of Popenaias popeii (Bivalvia: Unionidae): laboratory studies identify more hosts than field studies

1. Freshwater mussels are critically endangered in North America, making it important to understand their environmental requirements at all life stages. As glochidia (larvae), they attach to fish hosts where they undergo substantial mortality, making this transition important in their life cycle. Larval host fish requirements have typically been described using data from laboratory infestations to determine suitable hosts. 2. Laboratory infestations circumvent many natural barriers that prevent infestation of physiologically compatible fishes by mussel larvae. While such methods are invaluable for identifying ‘physiological hosts,’ they cannot fully describe realised ‘ecological hosts’ in the field. 3. We studied Popenaias popeii in the Black River in New Mexico, because it is of conservation concern and it is the only mussel species present, facilitating identification of glochidial infestation. To explore the difference between physiological hosts and ecological hosts, we conducted a 3‐year field study of fishes infested by P. popeii glochidia. 4. Substantially fewer fish species were infested by P. popeii in the wild (10 of 20 observed) than had been identified as physiological hosts in laboratory trials (24 of 31). We combined data on fish abundance, proportion of fish hosts infested (prevalence) and the number of glochidia per fish (intensity) and identified three fish species that probably contributed substantially more to mussel recruitment by carrying more glochidia than other host species. 5. Similarities in behaviour among these fishes allowed us to hypothesise routes of infestation, such as benthos‐feeding by catostomids, that allow glochidia to infest these hosts at higher rates than other suitable hosts. Overall, this approach provides a method of quantifying the relative importance of different species of host fish in the mussel lifecycle.     

A review on the “in vitro” culture of freshwater mussels (Unionoida)

Many Unionoida are considered to be extinct, endangered, or of special concern. These bivalves have complex life cycle stages that limit successful culture. In nature, the larvae (glochidia) of these bivalves must successfully parasitize a host (mainly fish) in order to metamorphose into juveniles. The two artificial methods used to obtain juvenile freshwater mussels in laboratory are either by induced attachment to host fish or by in vitro culture of glochidia. This article is focused on the in vitro method that represents a novel and alternative process to fish infestation, offering the ability to obtain larger numbers of juveniles without the need for host fishes and reducing the overall costs of propagation. In vitro culture requires a medium which fulfills the nutritional needs of each glochidia species and avoids microbial contamination. Recently, this methodology has presented excellent results with survival and transformation rates up to 94% using host fish plasma. High efficiencies on growth, and survival rates (84%) of juvenile freshwater bivalve Hyriopsis myersiana (Lea, 1856) up to 120 days were obtained when reared in adequate recirculating aquacultural systems using a very specific diet. More research is still needed to demonstrate successful propagation, mainly concerning the media nutritional composition to increase glochidia transformation and juvenile quality.     

Encapsulation of attached ectoparasitic glochidia larvae of freshwater mussels by epithelial tissue on fins of naive and resistant host fish

To metamorphose into juveniles and subsequently mature into adults, the glochidia larvae of freshwater mussels in the order Unionoida must temporarily parasitize the gills, fins, or other external structures of fish. Once attached to the fish, the glochidium is encapsulated by host fish epithelial tissue. The migration of epithelial cells of the bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus over glochidia of Utterbackia imbecillis was examined by time-lapse video microscopy, and the morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Initially, the leading edge epithelial cells migrating over the larvae became rounded and the cells moved as a sheet until the attached glochidium was completely covered. Cyst formation on host fish that had been repeatedly exposed to mussel larvae was significantly delayed and morphologically irregular compared to that on na?ve fish. Cyst formation on other species of fish that are less successful as hosts was examined. In general, it took longer for glochidia to become encapsulated on these less suitable potential hosts. The delay and irregularities in cyst formation on resistant fish and nonhost fish species may result in increased mortality and reduced success of metamorphosis of glochidia.     

Direct impact of invasive bivalve (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Sinanodonta woodiana</Emphasis>) parasitism on freshwater fish physiology: evidence and implications

Direct and potentially damaging effects of invasive alien species can remain unnoticed or insufficiently quantified, resulting in a lack of stakeholder awareness. We report for the first time that parasitic larvae (glochidia) of the invasive freshwater mussel Sinanodonta (Anodonta) woodiana (Unionidae, Bivalvia) cause an unexpected reduction in the condition factor of parasitized native fish species. The reduction in the body mass and condition factor of experimentally infested European chub (Squalius cephalus) was associated with changes in several physiological parameters measured in host fish plasma. Ion concentrations (potassium, chloride) and enzymes activities (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase) were significantly affected; hence, the results reveal the complex effects of non-native glochidia on the homeostasis of the individually tested fish. Changes in host physiology and condition status were recorded also in environmentally relevant infestation intensities (mean of 3.02 ± 0.51 glochidia g^?1). Despite intensive concern regarding the negative biodiversity and ecosystem impacts of the adult stage of S. woodiana among conservationists and natural resource managers, potential effects of its larval stage have been neglected until now. Because fish hosts are an obligatory part of the reproductive cycle of the mussel and the main vector for spreading, documentation of this direct and easily quantifiable impact on fish has great potential to influence the key community of stakeholders in fisheries and aquaculture sectors and to serve as a strong motivating factor for invasive species control. We argue for more careful consideration of potential multiple life-stage effects of S. woodiana and of other invasive alien species as well, as different life stages can have highly specific impacts and corresponding relevance for key stakeholder groups.     

Practical experience in the rearing of freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera): advantages of a work-saving infection approach,survival, and growth of early life stages

The critically endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera Linnaeus 1758) is the target species of an Austrian conservation project that involves captive breeding. In order to optimize the operational procedure, controls were conducted at several decisive stages, including infection of host fish (for which a time- and work-saving enclosure approach was tested), larval growth during the parasitic stage, growth of juvenile mussels in climate chambers at different temperatures, and growth and survival of re-introduced juveniles in field cages. High infection rates could be attained under near natural conditions. Distinctive patterns in the way the gill arches of the host fish were infected could be detected. Encysted glochidia showed significantly different successive growth stages, related to water temperature. In all, five distinctive growth stages could be detected in the course of the first 562 days of observation. The stages are described and the respective daily increments given. Very high survival rates were achieved during hibernation in the field as well as at the laboratory. The study suggests a way for saving time in the infection procedure that can more effectively be invested in an intensive maintenance of juveniles at the laboratory and during hibernation in the field.     

Influence of cortisol on the attachment and metamorphosis of larval Utterbackia imbecillis on bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus)

The larvae of unionid freshwater mussels (i.e., glochidia) undergo a parasitic stage requiring their attachment to the external epithelia of fish hosts, where they metamorphose into free-living juveniles. We describe the physiological effects in bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) of infection with glochidia from the paper pondshell (Utterbackia imbecillis). Glochidia accumulation on bluegill increased dramatically at concentrations of 2000 glochidia liter(-1) and above, reaching a maximum attachment density of about 30 glochidia g(-1) fish at 4000 glochidia liter(-1). Plasma cortisol was the most sensitive indicator of biological effect to glochidial exposure, increasing significantly in hosts exposed to 2000 glochidia liter(-1) or greater. Glochidia were 31% more likely to undergo successful juvenile metamorphosis when attached to bluegill with elevated plasma cortisol, largely due to the enhanced survivorship of these larvae during the first 48 h after infection. We tested the hypothesis that glochidial attachment and juvenile metamorphosis were stimulated directly by plasma cortisol in fish hosts. Bluegill were given an intraperitoneal injection of cortisol, then infected with 1000 glochidia liter(-1) at 48 h after hormone supplementation. Cortisol-injected fish had a 42% increase in the number of attached glochidia g(-1) fish and a 28% increase in larval metamorphosis compared to sham-injected and control fish. We provide evidence that cortisol enhances glochidial metamorphosis on hosts by improving the retention of attached glochidia. This study gives insights into the influence of host physiology on glochidial attachment and juvenile mussel transformation.
