海、淡水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉和鱼皮营养分析比较

为了比较海、淡水养殖日本鳗鲡(Anguilla japonica)肌肉和鱼皮营养成分差异, 采用生物化学方法对海水与淡水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉和鱼皮的一般营养成分、氨基酸含量、脂肪酸含量和矿物质含量进行测定与分析。结果显示, 海、淡水养殖日本鳗鲡鱼皮的水分、粗蛋白和灰分含量均显著性低于肌肉(P0.05), 但鱼皮粗脂肪含量显著高于肌肉(P0.05)。淡水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉的粗蛋白含量显著性高于海水养殖日本鳗鲡(P0.05)。海、淡水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉总氨基酸含量分别为50.22%和54.10%, 鱼皮总氨基酸含量分别为42.56%和45.80%。海、淡水养殖日本鳗鲡鱼皮呈鲜味氨基酸占氨基酸总量显著性高于肌肉(P0.05)。海、淡水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉和鱼皮均以不饱和脂肪酸为主(65.96%67.51%), 并以单不饱和脂肪酸C18: 1n9含量为主(38.64%44.79%)。海水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉矿物质元素(Fe、Ca、Cu、Na)和鱼皮矿物质元素(Fe、Mn、Na)的平均含量均显著高于淡水养殖日本鳗鲡(P0.05), 但Zn含量显著低于淡水养殖日本鳗鲡(P0.05)。研究表明, 不同养殖环境的日本鳗鲡肌肉和鱼皮营养成分丰富, 淡水养殖日本鳗鲡肌肉和鱼皮的氨基酸含量和脂肪酸组成方面稍优于海水养殖日本鳗鲡, 而海水养殖环境日本鳗鲡肌肉和鱼皮的矿物质元素含量得到较高的富集。       

长江靖江段沿岸日本鳗鲡丰度的时间格局及生物学研究

于2002—2017年在长江靖江段沿岸对日本鳗鲡资源量进行长期调查, 对其丰度的时间格局特征及环境影响因素等进行了分析。结果显示, 在近16年519次调查中, 采集到日本鳗鲡137尾, 平均年龄(1.8±1.0)龄, 平均全长和体质量分别为(31.1±9.8) cm和(57.64±91.94) g, 89.1%的个体未性成熟, 94.9%的个体处于黄鳗期。全长与体质量关系式为: W=0.0002415×L3.483 (r2=0.9537, n=137)。日本鳗鲡在靖江段渔获物中的数量百分比与重量百分比分别仅为0.08%和0.69%, 且丰度和出现率在年间均呈波动式递减趋势。同时发现靖江段日本鳗鲡丰度年际波动与长江口鳗苗群体补充无关, 其出现率受水温及水质因子氨氮和浑浊度的影响。

日本鳗鲡雌鳗卵巢发育期间肌肉脂肪酸的组成及消耗

研究采用3种不同的处理方式(I&GD、I&nGD和A&nGD)对雌鳗处理后,进行了生物学相关参数、肌肉脂肪酸组成和含量变化测定分析.研究结果表明,日本鳗鲡在性腺发育期间,体重一直呈一个下降的趋势,直到产卵前,才显著高于野生海鳗.该现象被称为水合反应.实验结束时,3个实验组的脂肪总量均有不同程度的下降,其中,I&GD组下降最多,占总脂肪的66.55%;其次是A&nGD组,占总脂肪的43.76%;下降最少的是I&nGD组,占总脂肪的34.68%.研究对日本鳗鲡的肌肉共测出了17种脂肪酸,SFA 7种、MUFA 2种、PUFA 8种.其中,MUFA虽然只有2种,但在脂肪酸总量中占的百分比却较高达38.02%,而且它们的消耗与性腺发育和基础代谢有关,与雌鳗的游泳耗能无关.在8种PUFA中,AA的变化很特殊.实验期间,它在日本鳗鲡肌肉内是一个积累和消耗的动态过程.而且,积累程度与雌鳗的游动有关,游动越多,积累越多.EPA虽然能被检出,但量很低,而且各组间的变化无明显规律.DHA在日本鳗鲡肌肉中的含量达到123.91 mg/g干肌肉,占总脂肪的32.52%.卵巢发育所消耗的量也很多,I&GD组在卵巢发育结束后,下降到10.59 mg/g十肌肉.相关性分析发现.虽然总脂肪酸、PUFA、DHA和EPA与GSI间均存在一定程度的负相关性,但关系最密切的是DHA,其r=-0.952(P<0.01,n=5),关系最小的是EPA,其r=-0.882(P<0.05,n=5).因此分析认为DHA是日本鳗鲡性腺发育所需的最主要的一种脂肪酸.对能量分布进行综合分析后认为,日本鳗鲡在人工诱导性腺发育期间,基础代谢所需的脂肪量(LBM)占总脂肪量的34.68%,性腺发育所需脂肪量(LGD)占总脂肪量的32.49%,运动耗能所需脂肪量(LM)占总脂肪量的9.79%.因此认为,日本鳗鲡在不摄食的情况下,肌肉中的脂肪不仅能提供性腺发育所需的营养物质,而且还能满足洄游2000海里到达产卵场所需的能量.

A silvering index for the Japanese eel <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anguilla japonica</Emphasis>

To establish a simple and reliable index for determining silvering stages of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, we observed the colorations of various body parts and biological characteristics of the eels collected in a coastal area of Japan (Mikawa Bay). The four silvering stages are characterized by the colorations of pectoral fins and ventral skin as follows: (1) Y1, yellow eel without a metallic hue at the base of pectoral fins, (2) Y2, late yellow eel with a metallic hue at the base of the pectoral fins but without melanization at the tip of pectoral fins, (3) S1, silver eel with complete melanization at the tip of pectoral fins but without full pigmented belly in black or dark brown, and (4) S2, late silver eel with black or dark brown belly. The body size, eye diameter and sexual maturity of each stage increased in the order of Y1, Y2, S1 and S2 stages, whereas the digestive tract degenerated in the same order, suggesting a sequential development of these ontogenetic stages identified in the study. The Y1, Y2 and S1 stages could be also distinguished by canonical discriminant function analysis using three internal (gonad-somatic index, GSI; hepato-somatic index, HIS; and gut index) and two morphometric (condition factor and eye index) parameters, supporting the significance of these stages. This method of staging for the silvering process of the Japanese eel appeared to be applicable to all specimens of this species, since this index used only simple external characteristics that would be easy to observe during field surveys.     

Serum estradiol-17beta and testosterone levels during silvering in wild Japanese eel Anguilla japonica

To understand the changes of serum levels of sex steroids in the wild Japanese eel Anguilla japonica during silvering process, eels collected from the Kaoping River of Taiwan from August 2000 through June 2001 were examined. The maturational stages of female eels before and during silvering were divided into four stages: juvenile, sub-adult, pre-silver and silver stages based on skin coloration and oocyte diameter. Male eels were investigated only in the silver stage. Radioimmunoassays were employed to measure serum levels of estradiol-17β (E₂) and testosterone (T). The mean liver mass of the female eels increased significantly during silvering, but the mean hepatosomatic index remained constant. In contrast, mean ovarian mass and gonadosomatic index increased significantly during silvering. Serum concentrations of E₂ in females increased significantly during silvering (P<0.05), while E₂ was undetectable in silver males. The mean serum T concentrations increased significantly in females (P<0.05) during silvering, with lowest mean values in the juvenile stage and highest mean value in the silver stage. The mean serum T level in the silver males was significantly lower than in silver females (P<0.05). In conclusion, both serum E₂ and T concentrations increased with ovarian development of wild Japanese eels during silvering, while serum E₂ was undetectable in the silver male eels. The findings support the idea that androgen, but not estrogen, plays a major role in silvering process of the eels in both sexes.     

11-ketotestosterone synchronously induces oocyte development and silvering-related changes in the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica

To evaluate the effects of sex steroids on silvering in the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, the development of oocytes, eye size, digestive tract, and swim bladder were studied in relation to observations of the profiles of plasma levels of sex steroids (estradiol 17β, E2; testosterone, T; 11-ketotestosterone; 11-KT) during silvering for each sex and by administrating 11-KT to yellow eels. All steroids examined in the study increased in female eels after silvering had begun, whereas in males, only 11-KT increased significantly, and no statistical differences were found in plasma levels of E2 and T between eels in both developmental stages. 11-KT appeared to induce the early stage of oocyte growth, enlargement of the eyes, degeneration of the digestive tract and the development of the swim bladder. This suggested that 11-KT synchronously accelerates early development of the ovaries and the morphological changes, possibly in adaption to oceanic migration, and that 11-KT is one of the most important factors in early stages of development in the Japanese eel, as it appears to be in other anguillid eels.     

The silvering process of Anguilla anguilla: a new classification from the yellow resident to the silver migrating stage

The identification of five stages for female and two stages for male eels Anguilla anguilla using multivariate analysis was carried out on a large sample of individuals collected at six different locations in France. Stages corresponded to a growth phase (stages I and II), a pre‐migrant phase (III) and two migrating phases (IV and V). It is likely that an important period of growth triggered silvering through the production of growth hormone (GH) in stage III eels. In migrating eels gonad development, gonadotropin hormone (GTH‐II) production and increase of eye surface were similar at all sites. Differences among locations were found in gut regression and pectoral fin length. As variability for these increased with the size of the watershed and values were highest for the most downstream locations, fin length and gut regression may indicate the time since an eel started its migration.     

Reproductive biology of the conger eel from the south coast of Brittany, France and comparison with the Europe eel

The gonadosomatic indices (I_G) of female conger eel Conger conger , aged between 2 and 11 years postmetamorphosis, ranged between 0·04 and 4·78 and were correlated with both age and body length. Microscopical examination of the gonads showed immature ovaries at two main stages of oocyte development, pre-vitellogenic oocytes for I_G < 1, and oocytes at an early vitellogenic stage (lipid vesicle stage) for I_G>1. The immaturity of the conger eels sampled in Concarneau Bay indicates that this species probably spawns in deeper oceanic waters. Radioimmunoassays (RIA) of sex steroids gave low serum levels of oestradiol and of 11-ketotestosterone, but higher levels of testosterone correlated with increase in I_G. Immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) indicated low serum levels of vitellogenin (VtG), which were significantly correlated with I_G. The pre-vitellogenic and early vitellogenic stages observed in the coastal C. conger were similar to the oocyte stages found in the European eel Anguilla anguilla , at the yellow and silver phases of its life cycle respectively. However, other morpho-functional changes, associated with silvering in Anguilla species, such as the increase in ocular index, and regression of the digestive tract, did not occur at the early vitellogenic stage in conger eels.     

11-Ketotestosterone induces silvering-related changes in immature female short-finned eels, Anguilla australis.

The developmental transition from a residential, immature 'yellow' eel to a migratory, maturing adult 'silver' eel is accompanied by many morphological changes that appear to be under endocrine control. High circulating levels of the teleost, and usually male-specific, androgen 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) are found in migrating female short-finned eels, Anguilla australis. We examined the role of this steroid in silvering by implanting immature, female short-finned eels either with blank vehicles or with vehicles containing 11-KT. Six weeks after they had received the implants, eels treated with 11-KT had developed 'chisel-shaped' snouts and black pectoral fins with tapered ends, and the size of their eyes had increased significantly. 11-KT treated eels had a thicker dermis than control eels and an epidermis with fewer or no mucous cells. Ventricular mass at the end of the experiment was two-fold larger than in control eels. 11-KT treated eels also had larger livers and gonads. Ovaries contained predominantly cortical alveolus stage III oocytes, as opposed to the smaller gonads of control eels containing previtellogenic stage II oocytes. All of these changes correspond to changes during the developmental transition from yellow to silver eels in the wild. This demonstrates that silvering in eels is under endocrine control and that the presumed male-specific steroid 11-KT is capable of inducing silvering-related changes in a female teleost. We discuss how species-specific responses to 11-KT may differ depending on tissue-specific androgen receptor abundance and how a dual demand on liver function can explain the apparently positive effects of 11-KT on liver growth.

Low fat contents in female silver eels: indications of insufficient energetic stores for migration and gonadal development

The main energetic stores at the silver eel stage were studied by analysing muscle fat concentrations and hepatosomatic indices in female silver eels from various habitats in Sweden. Muscle fat concentrations varied both within and between localities and lean eels with muscle fat concentrations <20% occurred at all study sites. Furthermore, no correlation could be found between muscle fat content and internal or external maturation indices, neither was the relative liver size related to the maturation process, as the correlation between the hepatosomatic and gonadosomatic indices was very weak. Consequently, it was concluded that silvering and the spawning migration may begin also at low muscle fat concentrations. However, most of the energy reserve is stored as muscle fat in eel, and it is highly unlikely that female silver eels with such low fat contents, as were observed occasionally in this study, will ever recruit to the next generation. Therefore, it is suggested that the maturation process in eel is more flexible than previously recognized, and that this process might be temporarily arrested and feeding resumed during the first part of the migratory phase.     

Ovarian morphology of the Japanese eel in Mikawa Bay

Annual changes in gonadal maturation of female Japanese eel Anguilla japonica in sea water were investigated histologically over 5 years in the Mikawa Bay, Japan, where they occurred throughout the year except in March. Almost all immature Japanese eels (yellow eels) occurred mainly from April to September, and they were rare after November. In contrast, maturing Japanese eels (silver eels) occurred from October to February. The gonado‐somatic index ( I _G) and oocyte diameters of yellow eels were <1·0 and 150 μm, respectively, and oocytes were at the peri‐nucleolus or the oil droplet stages. The I _G and oocyte diameters of silver eels were greater than those of yellow eels and most oocytes developed to the primary yolk globule stage. The numbers of silver eels lacking oocytes at the primary yolk globule stage increased after January in Mikawa Bay, although I _G and oocyte diameters remained unchanged. In contrast, silver eels caught at the mouth of the bay in January possessed oocytes that had advanced to the secondary yolk globule stage. These observations indicate that oocyte development changes seasonally, especially after winter in Mikawa Bay.     

Compilation of Japanese fisheries statistics for the Japanese eel, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Anguilla japonica</Emphasis>, since 1894: a historical dataset for stock assessment

Fishery sustainability and the extinction risk of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, are of global concern. The landings of the Japanese eel in Japan comprise a large part of the landings in East Asia. This study provides a compiled dataset of the annual fisheries statistics of the Japanese eel in Japan for stock assessment. The Japanese government has been recording Japanese eel statistics annually since 1984 in five series of annual reports by conducting systematic questionnaire surveys of fisheries managers and associations; however, most of these data are stored in analog format. The key variables in the dataset include the harvest weight of eels, the harvest weight and number of seeds for aquaculture, the number of eels stocked, and the number of management entities engaged in the eel fishery. The levels of spatial aggregation of the variables include the site (river and lake), prefecture, inland and coastal waters, and total in Japan. We also incorporated location data (latitude and longitude) of the site and prefecture into the dataset. Eel harvest includes primarily yellow eels (late juvenile stage) and silver eels (mature stage). Seed harvest in inland waters includes glass eels (intermediate stage between leptocephalus and elver) and elvers (early juvenile stage). Seed harvest from coastal waters comprises glass eels. This dataset provides information to assess long-term trends in the Japanese eel population.
