香港巨牡蛎和长牡蛎幼虫及稚贝的表型性状

为了评估香港巨牡蛎和长牡蛎在北方沿海的早期表型性状,于2010年7月,以2009年6月在青岛繁育的两种牡蛎为材料,在大连研究了温度(Mt:(22±1.0)℃及Ht:(28±1.0)℃)、盐度(S₂₀:20±1.0及S₃₀:30±1.0)及中间育成环境(ID:室内及OD:室外)对两种牡蛎幼虫及稚贝表型性状的影响。结果表明:香港巨牡蛎壳宽显著大于长牡蛎(P<0.05),壳高及怀卵量显著小于长牡蛎(P<0.05),壳长、鲜重及壳重两者间无显著差异(P>0.05)。在温度和盐度相同情况下,长牡蛎卵径、受精率、孵化率及D形幼虫均大于香港巨牡蛎;香港巨牡蛎幼虫浮游前期生长较慢,而后快于长牡蛎。两种牡蛎幼虫存活能力在15日龄时高温组>中温组;相同温度下,香港巨牡蛎中盐组>高盐组,长牡蛎高盐组>中盐组。幼虫变态期间,较低的温度延迟了变态时间,降低了变态率,使得两种幼虫变态规格大型化。温度是影响幼虫生长、存活、变态的最主要因素,其次为盐度,交互作用几乎尚未起到作用。中间育成阶段,室外比室内培育效果更好,且香港巨牡蛎稚贝壳高在60日龄以后显著大于长牡蛎(P<0.05),环境是影响稚贝生长的最主要因素;无论室内还是室外两种牡蛎稚贝的存活率均在90%以上,且各实验组间无显著差异(P>0.05)。     

温度和盐度对缢蛏浮游幼虫发育的影响

Short-term fluctuation in salinity promotes rapid larval development and metamorphosis in Dendraster excentricus

The effect of constant and fluctuating salinity on larval development and metamorphosis of the sand dollar Dendraster excentricus was investigated in the laboratory. Sand dollar larvae at different stages of development were kept either at 32‰ (controls), exposed to constant low salinity (22‰) throughout development, or exposed to fluctuating salinity (i.e. transferring larvae from 32‰ to 22‰ for 7 days then back to 32‰ for the rest of their development). Larvae exposed to constant low salinity were significantly smaller but developed all larval arms at a slower rate than larvae in all other treatments. Larvae exposed to fluctuating salinity recovered and developed significantly longer larval arms and bigger rudiments than larvae kept at constant low salinity. Larvae exposed to fluctuating salinity produced more juveniles than larvae at constant high salinity (32‰), while those at constant low salinity produced few or no juveniles. Four-arm larvae exposed to fluctuating salinity produced significantly more juveniles than six-arm larvae exposed to the same treatment. Transferring competent 8-arm larvae from 31‰ to 15‰ for 2 days then back to 31‰, induced metamorphosis with juvenile production being significantly higher than for those kept at a constant salinity of 20, 25 and 31‰. This study indicates that a short-term decrease in salinity might induce metamorphosis for this species.     

Low salinity stress experienced by larvae does not affect post-metamorphic growth or survival in three calyptraeid gastropods

Marine larvae that experience some sub-lethal stresses can show effects from those stresses after metamorphosis, even when they seem to recover from those stresses before metamorphosis. In this study we investigated the short and long-term effects of exposing the larvae of three calyptraeid gastropods (Crepidula fornicata, Crepidula onyx, and Crepipatella fecunda) to temporary reductions in salinity. Larvae of all three species showed slower larval growth rates, longer time to metamorphic competence, and substantial mortality after being stressed in seawater at salinities of 10, 15, and 20 for less than 48 h. Larval tolerance to low salinities varied widely within and among species, but longer stresses at lower salinities were generally more harmful to larvae. However, larvae in nearly all experiments that were able to metamorphose survived and grew normally as juveniles; there were no documented “latent effects.” For all three species, starving larvae in full-strength seawater was not as harmful as exposing larvae to low salinity stress, indicating that detrimental effects on larvae were caused by the salinity stress per se, rather than by an indirect effect of salinity stress on feeding. C. fornicata that were stressed with low salinity as juveniles were more tolerant of the stress than larvae: all stressed juveniles lived and showed reduced growth rates for no more than 3 days. Our data suggest that even though reduced salinity is clearly stressful to the larvae of these 3 gastropod species, metamorphosis seems to generally provide individuals with a fresh start.     

Early life history of a catadromous sculpin in western Japan

To clarify the early life history of Cottus kazika (Cottidae), the ontogeny, osteology, distribution, migration and food habit were examined based on larvae and juveniles collected from coasts and estuaries in western Japan. The sequence of fin completion was pectoral (P1)-dorsal soft-ray part (D2)-anal (A)-dorsal spine part (D1)-pelvic (P2). However, that of calcification was P1-P2-D1-D2-A. Larvae and juveniles of C. kazika are distinguished from those of coastal sculpins of Japan by large preopercle spines, conspicuous parietal spines, the large and densely pigmented pectoral fin and the relatively deep body. C. kazika and Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus plus Enophrys bison share these four ontogenetic characters. From the relationship between the growth ring count on the sagittae and total length, the size of embryos at hatching is estimated at 5.2 mm. Larvae are estimated to reach 7 mm in 10 days, 9 mm in 20 days and 11 mm in 30 days after hatching. Hatching dates for larvae collected in the Shimanto estuary in 1987 peaked during the period around the new moon in January. Many free embryos ranging from 4.3 to 5.9 mm were collected using an aqualamp at a rocky shore outside the Yura River mouth, at high salinity (> 33 ppt), but none were collected in the estuary. From beach samples, seasonal changes in body size varied from year to year, and no consistent growth pattern was found, although juveniles were generally larger in late March and April than in January and February. Very few larvae were collected along shorelines where there were no adjacent rivers. Food habit of larvae and juveniles changed with growth. Polychaete larvae, cladocerans and copepods were found in preflexion larvae less than 6 mm. Gammarids were one of the important food items for larvae over 6 mm. Juveniles over 12 mm almost exclusively fed on gammarids. In the Shimanto estuary, larvae and juveniles stayed near the river mouth in January and February, within a stagnant layer where temperature and salinity remained about 12 °C and 20 ppt, respectively. Juveniles tended to move in March when the stagnant layer disappeared in the estuary.     

Comparative survival and growth of embryos,larvae, and juveniles of pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis and O. hatcheri* at different salinities

The hatching of fertilized eggs and the survival and growth of larvae and juveniles of the inland‐water atherinids Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes 1835) and O. hatcheri (Eigenmann 1909) were examined at salinities of 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 ppt. In addition, a limited study compared the salinity responses of O. bonariensis eggs and larvae from different origins. Overall, embryos, larvae, and juveniles of both species were euryhaline, although best survival and growth rates were obtained at the intermediate salinities. Survival of O. bonariensis at 0 ppt varied from very good to very poor. Comparison of the salinity responses of eggs and larvae of O. bonariensis from the current Japanese strain with newly introduced strains from three locations in Argentina did not reveal a clearly superior strain for freshwater culture. In general, O. hatcheri showed higher survival and growth rates and better adaptability to fresh water compared with O. bonariensis. Although both species are commonly regarded as freshwater species, the results of this study emphasize the importance of millimolar quantities of salts in the rearing water for improved survival and growth.     

Effects of reduced salinity on survival, growth, reproductive success, and energetics of the euryhaline polychaete Capitella sp. I

Physiological adjustment to water of reduced salinity requires energy expenditure. In this study we sought to determine the fitness costs associated with such adjustment in the euryhaline polychaete Capitella sp. I, and the extent to which such costs could be explained by increased rates of energy expenditure. In a series of experiments conducted at 20 degrees C, salinity was reduced from 30 per thousand to either 25, 20, 15, 12, or 10 per thousand within 72 h after the larvae had been induced to metamorphose. Juveniles were reared on fine, organic-rich sediment. Over the next 15-30 days, we determined survival, growth, fecundity, and rates of respiration and feeding (via fecal pellet production). Larval salinity tolerance was also determined. Juvenile survival at salinities as low as 12-15 per thousand was comparable to that at 30 per thousand. The lower limit of salinity tolerance was 10-12 per thousand at 20 degrees C for both larvae and juveniles. Juveniles grew significantly more slowly at 12-15 per thousand in six of the seven experiments. Fecundity, however, was generally highest at intermediate salinities of 20-25 per thousand, and comparable at 30 and 15 per thousand. No individuals released embryos at 12 per thousand over the approximately 30-day observation periods in any of the three experiments in which the worms were reared at this low salinity. Reduced growth rates were not explained by differences in rates of respiration at different salinities: at reduced salinity, respiration rates were either statistically equivalent to (P>0.10) or significantly below (P<0.05) those recorded for animals maintained at 30 per thousand. Lower growth rates at lower salinities were best explained by reduced feeding rates. Further studies are required to determine whether digestive efficiency, growth hormone concentrations, or reproductive hormone concentrations are also altered by low salinity in this species.     

A study on early tolerance of Mactra chinensis philippi to salinity

In order to evaluate the early tolerance of Mactra chinensis to salinity, the treatments of salinity gradients and salinity gradual changes were set in this study, and the post growth and development of juveniles were analyzed in recovery experiment, respectively. The result showed that the optimum hatching of zygotes was found at a salinity from 24 to 32, which is narrower than that of larvae (20–32); a slight of low salinity (16–32) will benefit the early growth and development of M. chinensis; at planktonic and creeping stages, low salinity stress (20) was conducive to promoting the growth of juvenile M. chinensis philippi; 4, 48 was the ultimate salinity of M. chinensis; The range of early tolerance of larvae M. chinensis philippi to salinity can be widened through a short period of salinity acclimation.

Adaptive capacity of larvae of the haarder Liza haematocheila (Mugilidae, Mugiliformes) under decreasing salinity of the environment

The response of early juveniles of the haarder Liza haematocheila (= Mugil soiuy) to changes of water salinity, and the growth and survival of larvae in water of different levels of salinity were studied. The capacity of adaptation of the larvae of the haarder to fresh water is manifested at early ages. Normally developing six-day-old larvae of the haarder easily endure the transfer from seawater (17–19‰) to brackish water (5‰) and a day later, to fresh water. The resistance of larvae to abrupt decreases in salinity increases with age. Directly transferred to fresh water, all 6–12-day old larvae perish, compared to only 8–30% of 2–3-week old larvae (those retarded in growth). In the course of raising, the larvae have tended to survive better in brackish water (5‰). At decreasing salinity, the growth rate, the content of defatted dry matter, and the content of lipids increase. In fresh water, the stock lipids (triacylglycerols) are accumulated more intensively. With consideration of the original and published data, the problem of formation of the osmoregulatory system in the ontogenesis of mugilids is discussed.     

Effects of low-salinity on the growth and development of spotted halibut Verasper variegatus in the larva-juvenile transformation period with reference to pituitary prolactin and gill chloride cells responses

Low-salinity adaptability was investigated in a flatfish spotted halibut Verasper variegatus during the period from late metamorphic larvae to early juveniles by a 20-day rearing experiment under different salinity regimes (1, 4, 8, 16 and 32 ppt). Effects of low-salinity on growth and development were examined and the changes in the prolactin (PRL) production level in the pituitary and the gill chloride cell morphology were examined as physiological backgrounds for low salinity adaptation. PRL cells and chloride cells were identified by immunocytochemistry with a specific antiserum for PRL₁₈₈ and Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase. Most of the fish exposed to over 4 ppt survived for 20 days, but all the fish exposed to 1 ppt died within 5 days. Fish kept in intermediate salinities (8, 16 ppt) grew significantly better than those in the control group (32 ppt). Fish exposed to 4 ppt attained almost the same body length as the control group at 20 days after transfer, although these fish showed an abnormally dark body color as well as delayed development. These results suggested that spotted halibut has a high-adaptability to low-salinity environments and prefers an intermediate salinity near iso-osmolality (about 12 ppt) from the late metamorphic larval stage, but does not completely adapt to a hypoosmotic of 4 ppt salinity or less than half of the osmolality. The percentage of PRL-cell volume to pituitary volume was significantly higher at 4 ppt than in the control group. The chloride cells in gill filaments were significantly larger at 4 ppt than in the control group. These results suggest that juveniles could adapt to a low-salinity environment due to the activation of PRL production and enlargement of chloride cells. These laboratory findings suggest that late metamorphic larvae and early juveniles of spotted halibut may utilize a low salinity environment such as estuarine tidal flats or very shallow coastal areas as their nursery grounds in the sea.     

The influence of salinity on fertilization and larval development of Nereis virens (Polychaeta, Nereidae) from the White Sea

Effect of salinity on fertilization and early development of the polychaeta Nereis virens (Sars) from the White Sea was examined in laboratory experiments. The comparison of salinity resistance of different developmental stages of N. virens showed gradual increase of euryhalinity during ontogenesis—from fertilized eggs to juveniles.Successful fertilization and effective development (≥70-75%) was possible in narrow salinity range 22-34‰. The salinity range of successful development for trochophore and nectochaete larvae reached 14-45‰. This increase of the limits of salinity tolerance in trochophore and nectochaete larvae probably was due to the formation of protonephridium system.Rate of metamorphosis of N. virens was tested under temperature 5, 10, 17 and 23 °C and salinity 22-14‰. The highest rate of metamorphosis was marked at the temperature of 23 °C in salinities higher than 14‰.Our data confirms that N. virens originates from warm seas with oceanic salinity.
