青海湖裸鲤不同年龄鉴定材料的年轮特征

通过各种年龄鉴定材料比较研究了青海湖裸鲤的年轮特征。微耳石和星耳石可用于鉴定年龄,而矢耳石易碎,不适合鉴定年龄。4种年龄鉴定材料对青海湖裸鲤年龄的判别能力为:背鳍条>微耳石>臀鳞>脊椎骨。对8龄以下个体,用背鳍条磨片鉴定年龄效果较佳;对8龄以上个体,臀鳞、背鳍条磨片和脊椎骨上的年轮计数明显低于微耳石磨片,微耳石磨片是高龄青海湖裸鲤较为可靠的年龄鉴定材料。       

6个地区青海湖裸鲤肌肉营养成分分析

采用常规生化分析方法,测定青海湖6个不同地区的青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przew alskii)肌肉主要营养成分,对其营养价值进行评价。结果表明,淡水青海湖裸鲤肌肉中脂肪含量显著大于(P<0.05)其他5个地区,蛋白含量显著大于(P<0.05)黑马河青海湖裸鲤肌肉的蛋白含量,6个地区青海湖裸鲤肌肉营养成分存在一定的地区差异。总体上,青海湖裸鲤肌肉(鲜样)中粗蛋白含量为17.26%~18.87%;粗脂肪含量为1.51%~3.37%;灰分含量为1.42%~1.61%;18种氨基酸总量15.48%~17.16%,其中除色氨酸外7种人体必需氨基酸总量6.38%~7.05%,4种鲜味氨基酸总量5.82%~6.49%。青海湖裸鲤肌肉中蛋白质含量较高,氨基酸种类齐全,必需氨基酸与鲜味氨基酸含量较高,尤其是淡水青海湖裸鲤品质更佳,淡水的生态环境可能更适合青海湖裸鲤的生长。     

青海湖裸鲤生长特征的研究

对2002年5月—2003年7月采自青海湖的1174尾青海湖裸鲤样本年龄进行了耳石鉴定,并依据年龄推算了生长率。青海湖裸鲤体长与体重的关系为:W=0.000174×L2.4990(♀)、W=0.0000402×L2.7538(♂),雌、雄个体生长差异显著。其体长Von Bertalanffy生长方程为:Lt=551.9301(1-e-0.0711(t 0.3044))(♀),Lt=682.8688(1-e-0.0530(t 0.4240))(♂);体重Von Bertalanffy生长方程为:Wt=1237.3431(1-e-0.0711(t 0.3044))2.4990(♀),Wt=2567.3242×(1-e-0.0530(t 0.4240))2.7538(♂)。其雌、雄生长拐点分别为12.57龄和18.67龄。     

色林错渔业生产的现状与可持续利用的对策

色林错裸鲤（Gymnocypris selincuoensis)是藏北色林错湖泊中惟一的一种鱼类。本文介绍了色林错渔业的开发利用情况,并对色林错裸鲤最小捕捞年龄、捕捞强度、最小网目以及最佳年捕捞产量进行了探讨。从可持续发展的角度,我们认为对色林错鱼类资源的利用必须以保证现有湖泊生态系统的稳定为核心,在满足维持一个足够数量及年龄结构的繁殖群体的基础上,以获得最佳持续经济利益为目标。以往强调甚至采用的最大持续产量理论在高原极端环境条件下并不能作为鱼类资源利用的追求目标或确定渔产量的标准,而只能作为对其捕捞强度的参考。总的允许渔获量应当根据最适捕捞死亡率F0．2来确定。本文最后提出了色林错湖泊鱼类资源可持续利用的8条具体措施。     

人工模拟条件下青海湖裸鲤自然繁殖环境条件需求研究

为对青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalskii)的自然繁殖需求条件进行定量研究, 实验结合青海湖裸鲤自然产卵场原位生境调查, 通过室内人工模拟构建产卵环境诱发野生亲鱼自然繁殖, 解答可控环境中青海湖裸鲤自然繁殖的环境需求。结果表明, 青海湖裸鲤自然繁殖发生与水温、水深、流速、光照及底质因素密切相关, 其中卵石河床质较细砂等底质环境可显著提升自然交配诱导率及繁殖效果; 在合适的底质条件下, 青海湖裸鲤自然繁殖的适宜条件: 水深为0.15—0.2 m、流速为0.2—0.4 m/s、水温为10.8—14.3℃; 15D﹕9L比例的光周期有利于促进青海湖裸鲤自然繁殖的发生。在人工模拟环境中, 水深≥0.45 m、流速≥0.8 m/s、温度≥17℃或≤6℃、全光照等环境中未观测到自然繁殖活动的发生, 这些被认为是其自然繁殖环境的限制条件。研究阐明了可控环境中青海湖裸鲤野生亲鱼自发产卵繁殖的环境需求, 构建人工模拟产卵环境技术, 为自然产卵场生境调查评估、改进人工繁育模式提供技术支撑和新思路。

为研究青海湖不同支流中青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalskii)群体间的遗传差异,我们对采自于不同支流中的群体进行了扩增片段长度多态性分析(AFLP)。应用10对多态性引物在6个青海湖裸鲤群体中共扩增位点348个,其中多态性位点184个,多态性条带占总扩增条带的比例为52.9%;筛选得到79个特异位点,构建了AFLP指纹图谱,根据谱带特征可以将不同支流中的青海湖裸鲤准确区分。遗传聚类分析对比结果表明:当遗传相似系数为0.87时,将六条河流的裸鲤归为为四支,沙柳河、甘子河、黑马河各归一支,哈尔盖河、泉吉河、布哈河为同一支。研究结果为青海湖裸鲤遗传多样性检测和亲本选育提供了技术参数,对青海湖裸鲤资源保护和人工增殖放流工作中野生亲鱼的选择策略具有指导意义。     

沙柳河青海湖裸鲤早期资源发生量及时空分布

为了掌握青海湖裸鲤(Gymnocypris przewalksii)资源补充状况, 于2019年5月26日至9月2日逐日在青海湖第二大支流沙柳河开展了青海湖裸鲤早期资源丰度时空变化特征的调查研究, 共采集青海湖裸鲤鱼卵3386粒, 仔鱼4690尾。调查发现, 亲鱼自5月底开始洄游, 鱼卵6月初出现, 6月底至7月初达到高峰, 随后逐渐下降, 至8月中旬基本消失。仔鱼数量自7月初呈波动式上升, 8月达到高峰, 9月初逐渐消失。经估算, 沙柳河鱼卵径流量为25.58×106粒, 仔鱼径流量为62.00×106尾。鱼卵仔鱼空间分布为从河口往上丰度依次递减, 断面水平分布为右岸>左岸>中心。Kruskal-Wallis检验表明, 昼夜鱼卵丰度存在显著差异(P<0.05); 昼夜仔鱼丰度存在极显著性差异(P<0.01), 鱼卵仔鱼漂流高峰期均集中在夜间。鱼卵丰度与流速呈显著正相关(P<0.05), 仔鱼丰度与流速呈极显著正相关(P<0.01), 与径流量日上涨率呈极显著正相关(P<0.01)。研究报道了沙柳河青海湖裸鲤早期资源现状, 填补了该水域青海湖裸鲤早期资源研究的空缺, 为青海湖裸鲤上溯亲本资源量和入湖幼鱼资源量估算提供了数据支撑, 可为青海湖裸鲤资源管理与保护提供科学依据。     

青海湖裸鲤和黄河裸裂尻鱼感染多子小瓜虫的病理学比较研究

为探讨不同裂腹鱼类感染多子小瓜虫后的病理学差异, 利用多子小瓜虫对青海湖裸鲤指名亚种(Gymnocypris przewalskii przewalskii)和黄河裸裂尻鱼(Schizopygopsis pylzovi Kessler)实施感染实验, 并对2种鱼进行了深入的病理学研究。研究结果显示: (1) 2种鱼的死亡量均呈现先激增后明显回落的趋势, 青海湖裸鲤死亡高峰在感染后第3至第4天, 黄河裸裂尻鱼死亡高峰在第3至第5天, 青海湖裸鲤的死亡比黄河裸裂尻鱼急剧。(2)感染后2种鱼体表均出现大量肉眼可见的白点。青海湖裸鲤皮肤黏液分泌量明显增加, 体表形成胶状黏液层, 黏液层中见不同细胞期小瓜虫包囊。黄河裸裂尻鱼鳍出现蛀鳍现象, 皮肤出现细菌感染样溃烂。(3)解剖发现, 感染组青海湖裸鲤和黄河裸裂尻鱼肝脏发生病理改变呈淡黄色, 胆有不同程度肿大。(4)组织切片和电镜观察显示, 小瓜虫在鳃部位的寄生导致青海湖裸鲤和黄河裸裂尻鱼鳃丝黏连, 鳃小片和鳃丝上皮细胞萎缩、脱落, 鳃丝结构被严重破坏。小瓜虫在2种鱼皮肤的寄生使寄生部位组织突起, 周围组织塌陷。青海湖裸鲤表皮下层出现空隙, 表皮结构被严重破坏。黄河裸裂尻鱼皮肤表皮细胞出现空泡化病理改变, 失去原有紧密结构, 表皮层和固有层间界限变模糊。综上所述, 小瓜虫的感染对青海湖裸鲤和黄河裸裂尻鱼的鳃和皮肤组织造成严重损伤, 但2种鱼表现的症状和造成的组织损伤类型有明显差异, 这与2种鱼长期适应不同水体环境密切相关。     

青海湖裸鲤mtDNA遗传多样性的初步研究

本用Bcl、AvaⅠ,BamHⅠ,PstⅠ,KpnⅠ,PvuⅡ共6种限制性内切核酶,分析了15尾青海湖裸鲤mtDNA的限制片段长度多态性,共检测出20个酶切位点,发现BclⅠ,BamHⅠ和PvuⅡ三种酶切类型具有多态性。根据不同个体mtDNA的酶切类,青海湖裸鲤存在4种mtDNA单位型,计算mtDNA多态度π值为0．0043,初步认为青海湖裸鲤在线粒体DNA上存在较丰富的群体内变异。     

青海湖裸鲤性腺发育的组织学研究

采用石蜡组织切片法,对青海湖裸鲤的性腺发育进行组织学研究,系统地描述了各期卵巢和精巢的形态结构、特征及变化。结果表明:(1)青海湖裸鲤性腺的发育可分为六个时期,卵母细胞从第3时相发育到第4时相基本同步。第Ⅳ期末卵巢,第4时相卵母细胞的卵径大小比较整齐,卵径平均值为2.3mm,第4时相卵母细胞占切面上卵数的85%以上,占切片面积的96%以上,第2、3时相卵母细胞已很少;(2)产后卵巢的组织结构逐步由第Ⅵ期回复到第Ⅱ期,再由第Ⅱ期到第Ⅲ期向第Ⅳ期过渡;(3)性成熟个体有68.12%的雌鱼和83.9%的雄鱼以第Ⅳ期性腺越冬,另有21.01%的雌鱼和10.7%的雄鱼以第Ⅲ期性腺越冬,还有10.87%的雌鱼和5.4%的雄鱼以第Ⅱ期性腺越冬。根据青海湖裸鲤各季节性腺发育情况,作者认为青海湖裸鲤已达到性成熟的个体并不是每年都参与繁殖活动,存在生殖间断性。这反映了青海湖裸鲤的繁殖习性对高原寒冷多变气候的适应性。还对卵黄核和核仁在卵黄形成中的作用以及青海湖裸鲤的产卵类型和生殖间断性进行了讨论。     

Demographic diversity and sustainable fisheries

Fish species are diverse. For example, some exhibit early maturation while others delay maturation, some adopt semelparous reproductive strategies while others are iteroparous, and some are long-lived and others short-lived. The diversity is likely to have profound effects on fish population dynamics, which in turn has implications for fisheries management. In this study, a simple density-dependent stage-structured population model was used to investigate the effect of life history traits on sustainable yield, population resilience, and the coefficient of variation (CV) of the adult abundance. The study showed that semelparous fish can produce very high sustainable yields, near or above 50% of the carrying capacity, whereas long-lived iteroparous fish can produce very low sustainable yields, which are often much less than 10% of the carrying capacity. The difference is not because of different levels of sustainable fishing mortality rate, but because of difference in the sensitivity of the equilibrium abundance to fishing mortality. On the other hand, the resilience of fish stocks increases from delayed maturation to early maturation strategies but remains almost unchanged from semelparous to long-lived iteroparous. The CV of the adult abundance increases with increased fishing mortality, not because more individuals are recruited into the adult stage (as previous speculated), but because the mean abundance is more sensitive to fishing mortality than its standard deviation. The magnitudes of these effects vary depending on the life history strategies of the fish species involved. It is evident that any past high yield of long-lived iteroparous fish is a transient yield level, and future commercial fisheries should focus more on fish that are short-lived (including semelparous species) with high compensatory capacity.     

Pattern and pace of dental eruption in Tarsius

This article uses data on the dental eruption pattern and life history of Tarsius to test the utility of Schultz's rule. Schultz's rule claims a relationship between the relative pattern of eruption and the absolute pace of dental development and life history and may be useful in reconstructing life histories in extinct primates. Here, we document an unusual eruption pattern in Tarsius combining early eruption (relative to molars) of anterior replacement teeth (P2 and incisors) and relatively late eruption of the posterior replacement teeth (C, P3, and P4). This eruption pattern does not accurately predict the "slow" pace of life documented for Tarsius [Roberts: Int J Primatol 15 (1994) 1-28], nor aspects of life history directly associated with dental development as would be expected using Schultz's rule. In Tarsius, the anterior teeth and M1 erupt at an early age and therefore are not only fast in a relative sense but also fast in an absolute sense. This seems to be related to a developmental anomaly in the deciduous precursor teeth, which are essentially skipped. This decoupling among dental eruption pattern, dental eruption pace, and life history pace in Tarsius undermines the assumptions that life histories can accurately be described as "fast" or "slow" and that dental eruption pattern alone can be used to infer overall life history pace. The relatively and absolutely early eruption of the anterior dentition may be due to the utility of these front teeth in early food acquisition rather than with the pace of life history.     

瓯江口凤鲚生长、死亡和最适开捕体长

根据2015、2018—2020年瓯江口水域渔业资源监测调查资料, 对1359尾凤鲚的体长、全长和体重等生物学信息进行测定, 利用体长频率分布估算凤鲚种群生长、死亡参数等。结果表明, 瓯江口凤鲚体长为5.2—21.9 cm; 体长和体重的关系式W=0.0035×L3.0783。用ELEFAN技术拟合的von Bertalanffy生长方程的各参数为L_∞=26.60 cm, k=0.47及t₀=–0.55 a; Z=2.30, M=1.00, F=1.30, E=0.567, 表明资源处于过度开发状态; 凤鲚的首次捕捞体长L_c=15.35 cm, 对应首次捕捞平均年龄为1.28 a, 小于临界年龄(1.36 a)和体重生长的拐点年龄(1.85 a), 表明当前渔业主要捕捞对象为幼鱼和补充群体, 无法保证资源的有效补充。在瓯江口凤鲚目前的资源状态下, 应努力降低捕捞死亡率, 并加强对凤鲚栖息环境的保护, 而对目前以小型化和低龄化为主的凤鲚群体, 以控制开捕体长为主, 根据Beverton-Holt动态模型, 建议开捕体长为15.50 cm, 对应开捕年龄为1.31 a。     

尖头塘鳢(Eleotris oxycephala Temmiuck et Schlegel)的年龄、生长和生活史类型的研究

本文采用胸鳍第二支鳍骨为研究东江尖头塘鳢的年龄鉴定材料。胸鳍第二支鳍骨(远侧部)长的骨(R)与体长(L)的关系L=10.6565 54.3848R。用von Bertalanffy生长方程可表达体长、体重与年龄的关系:L=298.6(1-e~(-0.2313(t 0.3028))];W_t=577.4(1-e~(-0.2313(t 0.3028))]~3。根据r-选择和K-选择的典型特征以及渐近体长(L_∞)、渐近体重(W_∞)、生长系数(K)、瞬时自然死亡率(M)、初次生殖年龄(T_m)、最大年龄(T_(max))和性腺指数(GI)等7个生态学参数值,可以判断尖头塘鳢偏向r-选择。应用平衡产量模式计算改变瞬时捕捞死亡率(F)和渔业补充年龄(t_c)时的产量变化,同样证实尖头塘鳢生活史偏向r-选择。作为渔业管理对策,尖头塘鳢的捕捞年龄可定为2—3龄,以2龄为主,这样既能保护资源,又能获得较好的经济效益。     

Numerical prediction of a relation among growth,reproduction and mortality in iteroparous fish populations

Summary As a quantitative approach to the life history, the present paper numerically analyzed a relation among growth, reproduction and mortality for nine fish populations with a technique of optimal control theory, the discrete maximum principle. The analytical method used was derived on the postulate that natural selection maximized the net reproductive rate subject to a few constraints. A comparison between the theoretical and observed survival rate showed that the former was discernibly lower than the latter in all the populations except the three species. For the reasons mentioned below, however, the analyzed life history data should not be interpreted as a refutation of the adopted postulate and the method. First, it is generally very difficult to obtain a good estimate of the rate with traditional methods. Moreover, it is probable in most fish populations that the rate considerably changes with age even in the adult stage though it is usually estimated on the assumption that it is constant in a certain age range. Second, an intense fishing pressure possibly alters the life history characteristics of fish populations to some extent.     

Effect of size-selective mortality on growth of coastal cod illustrated by tagging data and an individual-based growth and mortality model

In a release experiment with cod in Norway, the apparent mean growth rates of 3+ cod, calculated by sampling the released cohorts at different ages, were very slow (<0·08 mm day⁻¹). However, when individual growth rates of individual tagged cod of the same size range were measured, the mean growth rates were much faster (0·24 mm day⁻¹). These observations were attributed to size-selective fishing mortality and were illustrated by an individual based simulation model of a cohort of cod with variable individual growth rates. The effects on mean length at age of the surviving cohort of increasing fishing intensity were demonstrated. The model showed that size-selective fishing with the observed individual growth variation, removed the fastest-growing individuals at proportionally higher rates than the slower-growing ones, leading to decreased apparent mean growth rate. The fishing pattern which gave the optimum yield, changed when individual variation was included, and when the apparent growth rate was used in the model the yield per recruit reduced dramatically. This study has shown that individual growth heterogeneity and size-selective mortality are factors which should be considered in future fisheries management models.     

Natural fishing experiments in marine reserves 1983 – 1993: roles of life history and fishing intensity in family responses

 This study examined the effect of fishing on the abundance and species richness of families of coral reef fish at two islands (Sumilon and Apo) in the Philippines from 1983 to 1993. Natural fishing experiments occurred in marine reserves at each island, where long term estimates of fishing intensity were available. Responses to fishing were interpreted in terms of life histories of fish. The intensity of fishing and fish life histories were generally good predictors of the differential rates of decline and recovery of abundance in response to fishing. Large predators had vulnerable life histories (low rates of natural mortality, growth and recruitment) and were subjected to high intensity fishing. They declined significantly in density when fished and increased significantly but slowly when protected from fishing. Caesionidae, a family with a life history resilient to fishing (high rates of natural mortality, growth and recruitment) but fished intensively also declined rapidly in abundance when fished. Thus, knowledge of life history alone was insufficient to predict response to fishing. Acanthuridae were fished relatively hard and had a life history of intermediate vulnerability but displayed weak responses to fishing. Thus level of fishing intensity alone was also not sufficient to predict response to fishing. For Chaetodontidae, effects of fishing conformed to expectations based on life history and fishing intensity at one island but not the other. Three families with intermediate vulnerability and subjected to intermediate to light fishing (F. Scaridae, Labridae and Mullidae) displayed predictably weak responses to fishing, or counter-intuitive responses (e.g., increasing in abundance following fishing). These counter-intuitive responses were unlikely to be secondary effects of increase in prey in response to declines of predators. Two lightly-fished families with resilient life histories (F. Pomacentridae, Sub F. Anthiinae) predictably displayed weak numerical responses to fishing except during a period of use of explosives and drive nets. Accepted: 30 June 1998     

Elasticity Analysis of Green Sturgeon Life History

I provide an analysis of a simplified life history model for green sturgeon, Acipenser medirostris, based on published and recent estimates of reproduction and growth rates and survival rates from life history theory. The deterministic life cycle models serve as a tool for qualitative analysis of the impacts of perturbations on green sturgeon, including harvest regulations based on minimum and maximum size limits (“slot limits”). Elasticity analysis of models with two alternative age–length relationships give similar results, with a high sensitivity of population growth rate to changes in the survival rate of subadult and adult fish. A dramatic increase in the survival of young of the year sturgeon or annual egg production is required to compensate for relatively low levels of fishing mortality. Peak reproductive values occur from ages 25 to 40. An increase or decrease in the maximum and minimum size limits can have a profound effect on the elasticity of population growth to changes in the annual survival rate of age classes specified by the slot, due to changes in the number of age classes of subadults and adults that are available for harvest. This analysis provides managers with a simple tool to assess the relative impacts of alternative harvest regulations. In general, green sturgeon follow life history patterns similar to other sturgeon, but species-specific demographic information is needed to produce more complex assessment and viability analysis models.     

Theoretical consideration of effect of fishing mortality on growth and reproduction of fish populations

An increase in fish mortality due to fishing can theoretically change the growth and reproduction of fish populations from the viewpoint of adaptation. We address the issue of how an iteroparous fish should convert surplus energy into somatic growth and reproduction at each age under given conditions of mortality. A model of life history, which maximizes the net reproductive rate using the discrete maximum principle, is improved employing a new relationship between body weight and surplus energy which we have recently proposed. The model is applied to the North Sea plaice Pleuronectes platessa, for which it has been reported that the average length of young fish had increased whereas that of old ones had decreased for some decades. Although the model cannot directly explain the former phenomenon, the two phenomena can be interpreted as a change in the optimal life history due mainly to an increase in mortality.
