保水渔业对千岛湖食物网结构及其相互作用的影响

为预防千岛湖连续暴发了2a(1998—1999)的蓝藻水华和改善千岛湖水质,于2000年起在千岛湖开展了以人工放养鲢鳙和控制凶猛鱼类为主要措施的保水渔业试验。作为试验的主要研究内容之一,通过构建1999和2000年千岛湖生态系统的Ecopath模型,比较分析了实施保水渔业对千岛湖生态系统食物网结构及其相互作用的影响。结果表明:实施保水渔业,使千岛湖中的银鱼和鲤生物量减少,而鲌类(主要是蒙古鲌)、鲴类和大眼华鳊等增加;使各种鱼类的捕食者和食饵生态位重叠指数下降;各主要鱼类的相互作用中,鲢、鳙对鳡、鲌的促进作用增强,鳡对鲌的抑制作用及鲌对虾类、银鱼和鲤等以及银鱼对浮游动物的抑制作用减弱,鳙对银鱼、大眼华鳊对鲤的抑制作用增强。这些影响,使千岛湖食物网结构更趋合理,如底层碎屑食性鱼类如鲴类等的增加,有利于营养物的再循环和再利用,从而增强了水体对营养物的净化作用。     

基于Ecopath模型的太湖生态系统结构与功能分析

根据2008—2009年太湖湖区水生生物调查的结果及主要水生动物摄食生态学已发表资料,应用Ecopath with Ecosim 6.1软件构建了太湖生态系统的食物网模型,初步分析了太湖生态系统功能与结构特征.模型由初级生产者、主要鱼类及无脊椎动物和有机碎屑等20个功能组组成.结果表明： 太湖生态系统的能流主要分布在4个营养级上,顶级捕食者鲌鱼营养级最高.食物网存在两条主要的营养传递途径,即碎屑食物链和牧食食物链,且碎屑食物链占比较大;营养级I的利用效率低下,大量初级生产力未能流入更高的营养层次,造成生态系统下层的营养流动“阻塞”.对系统总体特征分析发现,反映系统成熟度的指标,包括较高的净初级生产力(NPP)和净初级生产力/呼吸(NPP/R),以及较低的连接指数(CI)、系统杂食指数(SOI)和Finn循环指数(FCI)等,都揭示了太湖“幼态化”的生态系统现状;混合营养分析和关键种筛选结果显示,高强度的渔业捕捞活动对系统负影响显著,而顶级捕食者的下行效应显著下降.
     

基于Ecopath模型分析分水江水库生态系统结构和功能

根据2008-2009年浙江分水江水库渔业资源和生态环境调查数据,采用Ecopath with Ecosim软件构建了分水江水库的物质平衡Ecopath模型.模型构成包括鲢、鳙、鳊、花〖HT5,7〗鱼〖KG-*3〗〖HT5,6〗骨〖HT5F〗、翘嘴鲌、鲴类、其他鱼类、寡毛类、水生昆虫、浮游动物、浮游植物、有机碎屑等14个功能组,较好地模拟了分水江的水库生态系统.结果表明： 分水江水库生态系统包含5个营养级,且营养物质流动主要发生在前3个营养级.牧食食物链和碎屑食物链是系统中的主要能流,但是食物网结构较简单,容易受到外界干扰的影响.转移效率在低营养级较低,表明系统的能量利用较低,过多的营养物质储存在系统中可能导致富营养化的发生.较低的联结指数、系统杂食性系数、Finn氏循环指数以及Finn氏平均路径长度值都表明该生态系统处于不稳定状态,而生产量/总呼吸和生产量/生物量的值较高,说明此生态系统的初级生产力远高于其呼吸量,系统处于生态发育前期.分水江水库由于发育历史较短,仍处于由不成熟向成熟发育的过程中.     

基于Ecopath模型的密云水库生态系统结构与物质流动特征

密云水库作为北京的水源地,其生态安全备受关注。增殖放流鲢（Hypophthalmichthys molitrix）和鳙（Hypophthalmichthys nobilis）已成为多年来改善密云水库水质的重要措施。为进一步提升水质改善效果、提出基于生态系统管理的增殖放流优化方案,需要开展水库生态系统结构与物质流动特征研究。本研究根据已发表的生态环境调查数据及现场实测数据,运用碳氮稳定同位素技术确定鲢和鳙食物组成,并将其作为输入参数构建了2017年密云水库生态系统Ecopath模型。结果显示：鲢摄食悬浮有机颗粒物的比例高于鳙;鲢、鳙、浮游植物和碎屑的生态传递效率分别为0.62、0.75、0.49和0.39;营养级I和营养级II的总流量分别占系统总流量的68.2%和30.6%;系统中物质的总平均传递效率为7.2%;总初级生产量与总呼吸量比、总初级生产量与总生物量比、总生物量与系统总流量比分别为1.711,77.119和0.005,与部分湖库相比,密云水库生态系统成熟度处于较高水平。基于研究结果,建议采取提高碎屑食性鱼类增殖放流比例,开展长时间尺度研究等管理措施,以促进生物资源合理利用和生态系统的发育与稳定。     

基于Ecopath模型的千岛湖生态系统结构和功能分析

为探索千岛湖生态系统现状及其历史变化, 根据2016年千岛湖的渔业资源与生态环境调查数据, 构建了千岛湖生态系统的 Ecopath 模型, 综合分析系统的能量流动过程、营养级结构和生态系统总体特征。2016年千岛湖 Ecopath 模型由18个功能组组成, 有效营养级范围为1—3.41, 牧食食物链的能量流动占系统总能量的56%。系统杂食指数(SOI)、联结指数(CI)、Finn循环指数分别为0.13, 0.26和5.15%。千岛湖与其他湖泊和水库比较, 其生态系统的各功能组的聚合度较高, 联结程度较为紧密, 物质再循环比例较高, 系统较为成熟。但千岛湖的系统总流量较低为24698.27 t/(km2·a), 总初级生产量与总呼吸量的比值为6.51, 表明系统总体规模较小且仍处于发展阶段。根据千岛湖生态系统历年变化趋势分析: 千岛湖生态系统的总体规模有变大趋势, 稳定性和复杂性有所增强, 但营养交互关系变弱, 系统抵抗外界干扰的能力仍较低。同时, 千岛湖生态系统的初级生产者转化效率较低, 食物网趋于简单, 应采取适当的管理措施, 以保障千岛湖生态系统的健康发展。     

南海北部生态系统食物网结构、能量流动及系统特征

根据20072008年在南海北部(107°00'120°00'E、17°00'23°30'N)进行的海洋生态综合调查数据,应用Ecopath with Ecosim软件构建了南海北部生态系统的生态通道模型,并通过模型分析了南海北部海洋生态系统的食物网结构、能量流动和系统的总体特征,并简要总结过度捕捞生态系统的基本特征。结果表明,南海北部海洋生态系统以捕食食物链为主要能流通道,初级生产者是系统能量的主要来源。各功能群的营养级范围为13.99,哺乳动物占据了最高的营养层,平均渔获物营养级为2.93。利用生态网络分析,系统的能量流动主要有6级,来自初级生产者的能流效率为12.6%,来自碎屑的转换效率为10.4%,平均能量转换效率为11.5%。系统连接指数(Connectance Index,CI)和系统杂食指数(System Omnivory Index,SOI)分别为0.290和0.239;Finn’s循环指数(Finn’scy cling index,FCI)和系统平均路径长度(Finn’s mean path length,MPL)分别为4.380和2.476;总初级生产力/总呼吸为2.596,综合研究表明当前南海北部海洋生态系统处于不成熟阶段。     

基于Ecopath评估蟹-稻复合生态系统营养结构和能量流动

蟹-稻综合种养模式为我国水产养殖以及农业从单一经营转变为复合经营提供了一种新模式,为了促进蟹-稻共作模式的推广和普及,应用Ecopath生态通道模型对该系统进行了营养结构和能量流动的分析。研究结果表明蟹-稻共作生态系统的最高营养级(3.140)高于稻田单作系统的最高营养级(2.676),生态系统的能量流动主要有两条途径,即以沉水植物和其他维管束植物为起点的牧食链及以碎屑为起点的腐质链;蟹-稻共作农田生态系统在6月和10月的Finn′s循环指数(Finn′s cycling index,FCI,0.55和1)和Finn′s循环平均能流路径长度(Finn′s cycling mean path length,FCL,2.066和2.077),稻田单作农田生态系统在6月和10月的FCI(1.14和0.81)和FCL(2.089和2.137),说明蟹-稻共作模式可以形成一个稳定的生态系统,中华绒螯蟹的加入可以促进该完整的生态系统的能量流动,且随着螃蟹的成长,系统成熟度有所提高,只是较单作系统的成熟度低,共作系统有更大的成熟空间;蟹-稻共作农田生态系统在6月和10月的连接指数(Connectance index,CI)分别为0.135和0.135,稻田单作系统在6月和10月的CI为0.188和0.161,共作系统的各功能组之间的连接强度较单作系统弱,稳定程度相对较低,蟹-稻共作农田生态系统的初级生产力显著高于单作农田生态系统,且蟹-稻共作农田生态系统的发育良好。     

基于Ecopath模型的荣成俚岛人工鱼礁区生态系统结构和功能评价

基于2009年在荣成俚岛人工鱼礁区进行的周年生物资源调查数据,构建了俚岛人工鱼礁区生态系统生态通道模型(Ecopath),系统分析了俚岛人工鱼礁区生态系统的能量流动规律和系统结构特征.该模型由19个功能组构成,基本涵盖了俚岛人工鱼礁区生态系统能量流动的主要过程,根据礁区调查出现的鱼类与鱼礁的对应位置关系划分功能组,并引入浮游异养细菌功能组.结果表明:礁区调查出现的鱼类可划分成7个功能组,系统中各功能组的营养级在1.00 ～ 3.72级,其中,礁区I型鱼类处于最高营养级;系统总流量为10786.68t·km-2·a-1,其中,27％流向碎屑,17％以捕捞和沉积的形式流出系统;系统的总初级生产力为4131.97 t· km-2·a-1;系统的总能量转换效率为10.5％,流量中来自碎屑的比例为39％,61％直接来源于初级生产者,能流通道以牧食食物链为主导;系统的总初级生产量/总呼吸量为1.84,系统连接指数为0.20,Finn循环指数为4.5％,能流平均路径为2.62.俚岛人工鱼礁区生态系统当前的成熟度和稳定性较低,是一个正处于发育阶段的生态系统,系统抵抗外界干扰的能力较弱,鱼礁区的生态环境和渔业产出在年际间会出现一定波动,人工鱼礁对生态环境的修复作用需要继续养护才能得以实现.     

滩涂富营养池塘中浮游生物种群结构及其生态调控研究

本文研究了种植芦苇和菖蒲,放养鲢,接种有益微生物对滩涂富营养水体藻类和浮游动物的群落结构、数量、生物量等。不同处理藻的种类有差异,对照和放养鲢水体无隐藻门和黄藻门,其他两处理都有7门。种植芦苇、菖蒲等水生植物以及接种有益微生物都可以使水体藻类多样化,减少蓝藻生物量比例。放养鲢水体藻类种数减少,提高了蓝藻生物量的比例,优势种群变为铜绿微囊藻、针状蓝纤维藻、线形棒条藻等。对照和放养鲢处理水体原生动物种类较多,其生物量比例较高;接种有益微生物水体浮游动物数量最多、生物量最大,以轮虫类和枝角类为主。接种有益微生物大幅度地降低生态系统中总氮、氨态氮、总磷的浓度,其含量分别是对照的57.1%、42.7%、57.9%;同时可以降低COD值,提高溶氧水平和透明度。总之,种植芦苇、唐菖蒲等水生植物或接种有益微生物可以改善水体微生态机构和生态结构。       

基于Ecopath模型的崂山湾人工鱼礁区生态系统结构和功能研究

基于2014—2016年青岛崂山湾人工鱼礁区的生物资源调查数据,利用Ecopath with Ecosim(EwE)软件构建崂山湾人工鱼礁区生态系统生态通道模型(Ecopath),系统分析了崂山湾人工鱼礁区生态系统的能量流动规律和结构特征,估算了栉孔扇贝的养殖容量。该模型由17个功能组组成,基本涵盖了崂山湾人工鱼礁区生态系统能量流动的主要过程。生态网络分析表明,生态系统各功能组的营养级范围为1.0—4.255,星康吉鳗占据了营养级的最高层。能量流动主要有5级,各营养级平均能量传递效率为10.8%,其中来自初级生产者的能量效率为9.8%,来自碎屑的传递效率为10.9%;系统总流量为14256.510 t km~(-2) a~(-1),其中68%的能量来自碎屑供给;系统的总初级生产量/总呼吸量为1.127,系统联结指数为0.293,杂食指数为0.333,表明崂山湾人工鱼礁区生态系统成熟度较高,食物网结构较复杂,系统内部稳定性较高。关键种指数分析结果显示,许氏平鲉具有较高的关键指数和相对总影响,表明其可能在当前生态系统中扮演重要的生态角色。吊笼养殖栉孔扇贝生态容纳量为189.679 t/km~2,在维持生态系统平衡和稳定的前提下,当前现存量最大可增加18.55%。     

Molecular characterization of glutathione peroxidase gene from the liver of silver carp, bighead carp and grass carp

The cDNAs encoding glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were cloned and sequenced from the liver of three Chinese carps with different tolerance to hepatotoxic microcystins, phytoplanktivorous silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), and herbivorous grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). Using genome walker method, a 750 bp 5'-flanking region of the silver carp GPx gene was obtained, and several potential regulatory elements were identified in the promoter region of the GPx gene. The silver carp GPx gene was widely expressed in all tissues examined. Despite phylogenetic analysis, assigning this newly described carp GPx to the group of mammalian GPx2, the carp GPx seems more similar to GPx1 from a physiological point of view. The constitutive expression pattern of the three carp liver GPx gene, shows a positive relationship with their tolerance to microcystins.     

A comparative study of the epidermis of the common carp and the three Indian major carp

A comparative study has been made of the mucogenic epidermis of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio var. communis, and the three Indian major carps, Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhina mrigala: on the basis of epidermis structural organization, these species are easily differentiated. The epithelial cells in the superficial layer, as in most fishes, show secretory activity, evidenced by positive histochemical reactions, which is high in C. carpio var. communis, moderate in C. catla and low in L. rohita and C. mrigala. The epithelial cells in the underlying two or three layers also give positive reactions, though their intensity is relatively weak. The mucous cells in C. carpio var. communis are distributed in large numbers arranged in several superimposed layers in the outer regions of the epidermis, whereas in C. catla they are fewer in number and are widely separated in the surface layers as well as in the deeper layers of the epidermis; in both species the mucous cells appear rounded, large, and open on the surface by wide pores. In contrast, in L. rohita and C. mrigala the mucous cells are smaller, restricted mainly to the superficial layer, close together in a single row, and open on the surface by narrow pores. The overall density of mucous cells in L. rohita and C. mrigala, as in C. catla, is much lower than in C. carpio var. communis. In the epidermis of C. carpio var. communis there are a large number of mucous cells, and the few club cells are restricted to the deeper layers. In contrast, in the epidermis of the three Indian major carp the overall density of the mucous cells is much lower and the club cells are very numerous. It is suggested that the high density of club cells compensates an overall low density of mucous cells as an adaptation for an effective defence mechanism. Increased mucus production in the epidermis of C. carpio var. communis, as evidenced by a large number of mucous cells in outer regions and high secretory activity of superficial layer epithelial cells, is associated with increased precipitation of mud held in suspension, needed as an adaptation to the species’peculiar bottom-scooping habits. The varied density of the taste buds in the epidermis of the four carp is associated with their feeding habits.     

Unusual structure of the biliary system in the liver of the grass carp and the silver carp

It is known that the bile canaliculus in the liver of almost all vertebrates is made up of membranes of two or more adjacent liver cells. Studying the liver cell ultrastructure of lasting and fed grass carp and silver carp, it was demonstrated that a bile canaliculus is formed by deep invagination of a cell membrane of one hepatocyte. The membrane forms microvilli along the bile canaliculus. The bile canaliculus is seen in the centre of liver cell cytoplasm on the cross section and stretches from the centre of the liver cell cytoplasm to the cell membrane on the longitudinal section. The bile canaliculus is connected with a small duct cell, which is distinct from a liver cell in its small size, little amount of cell organelles and the presence of cytoplasmic filaments. The terminal part of the biliary tract consists of one liver cell and one bile duct cell. The part of the tract adjacent to the terminal one is composed of two or three small bile duct cells devoid of basal membrane. Thus, the liver parenchyma is constituted of a net of numerous bile ducts. In the portal tract, there is a large bile duct, consisting of 12-13 bile duct cells, surrounded by basal membrane and connective tissue cells.     

Abnormalities of the gonads of carp

Cyprinus curpio is usually dioecious, with well–developed paired gonads (ovaries or testes) of which the two parts are approximately equal in weight. However, a few instances of abnormal development have been observed. In one male fish, the right testis developed normally to maturity, while the left testis was vestigial. In a female fish, only the right component of the ovary was present. Some monoecious, synchronous hermaphrodite specimens have also been observed, and self fertilization demonstrated experimentally. It has been shown (Kossmann, 1971) that the progeny of such synchronous hermaphrodites may also have this characteristic. These studies demonstrate that even such a highly evolved teleost as the Carp may retain the primitive characteristic of hermaphroditism.     

Ichthyophthiriasis in the mirror carp

Changes in leukocyte counts in mirror carp infected with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis were recorded during the disease. Leukocytes were classified according to their appearance and stage of development. The overall white blood cell count in infected carp remained within the range found in normal carp under similar conditions. The first recognizable event in leukocyte dynamics was a sharp but temporary drop in lymphocytes with a concurrent rise in neutrophil percentages early in the infection. A similar trend also appeared towards the end of the infection. A significant shift towards younger cell populations was evident among the neutrophils. Blast cells with morphological characteristics of neutrophils appear in the circulation. The percentage of these cells and of other blast cells rose progressively during the infection. The number of cells termed fine reticular cells, also rose during infection. White blood cell changes in the mirror carp infected with I. multifiliis were similar to changes observed for other diseases and also in response to certain stress conditions.     

Establishment of the diploid gynogenetic hybrid clonal line of red crucian carp × common carp

This study investigated the gynogenetic cytobiological behavior of the third gynogenetic generation (G3), which was generated from the diploid eggs produced by the second gynogenetic generation (G2)of red crucian carp × common carp, and determined the chromosomal numbers of G3, G2×scatter scale carp and G2×allotetraploid hybrids of red crucian carp × common carp. The results showed that the diploid eggs of G2 with 100 chromosomes, activated by UV-irradiated sperm from scatter scale carp and without the treatment for doubling the chromosomes, could develop into G3 with 100 chromosomes.Similar to the first and second gynogenetic generations (G1 and G2), G3 was also diploid (2n=100) and presented the hybrid traits. The triploids (3n=150) and tetraploids (4n=200) were produced by crossing G2 with scatter scale carp, and crossing G2 with allotetraploids, respectively. The extrusion of the second polar body in the eggs of G2 ruled out the possibility that the retention of the second polar body led to the formation of the diploid eggs. In addition, we discussed the mechanism of the formation of the diploid eggs generated by G2. The establishment of the diploid gynogenesis clonal line (G1, G2 and G3) provided the evidence that the diploid eggs were able to develop into a new diploid hybrid clonal line by gynogenesis. By producing the diploid eggs as a unique reproductive way, the diploid gynogenetic progeny of allotetrapioid hybrids of red crucian carp × common carp had important significances in both biological evolution and production application.     

Cross‐species amplification in silver carp and bighead carp with microsatellite primers of common carp

About a third of microsatellite primers designed for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was successfully amplified in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis). These markers, inherited in Mendelian mode, are of potential applications in cypinid genetics.     

Intensive culture of grass carp and hybrid grass carp larvae

Intensive culture of grass carp and hybrid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella x Aristichthys nobilis ) larvae was conducted under Florida (U.S.A.) conditions. The influence of different rearing facilities (indoor tanks, outdoor tanks and cages) and different methods of fish feeding using live zooplankton and artificial food was tested. High survival (86–100%) and satisfactory grass carp growth (47–56 mg) were obtained in the outdoor tanks and cages during the 10–day experiment. It is believed, that the technique described can be used after some improvements for commercial–scale grass carp larvae rearing. Low survival (1–3%) was obtained in the hybrid culture experiment even though satisfactory growth rates (84–212 mg) were obtained after 13 days. High mortality was attributed to genetic abnormalities caused by hybridization. The hybrid does not appear to be a promising fish for culture.     

寄生在鲤鱼及草(鲩)鱼的鱊头槽绦虫的多样性

研究了寄生于鲤鱼及草(鲩)鱼的鱊头槽绦虫(Bothriocephalus acheiloghathi)的多样性.作者在1986-2000年收集材料,遍及中国19个省及自治区.在江苏等5省只收集到其它寄生虫的材料,故结果未列入附录1和2.研究结果表明,鲤鱼及草鱼的寄生鱊头槽绦虫的地理分布截然不同.寄生于鲤鱼的鱊头槽绦虫分布于黄河水系的西北地区及黑龙江水系的东北各省及长江上游的四川、云南和贵州,南方各省的鲤鱼不感染这种绦虫.寄生于草鱼的鱊头槽绦虫分布于沿珠江水系的广东、广西及闽江水系的福建,感染池塘的幼龄草鱼,天然水体中未发现感染阳性的草鱼.交义感染试验表明,寄生在这两种鲤科鱼类的头槽绦虫有极强的宿主特异性,草鱼感染的头槽绦虫一年内大部分时间排出发育完全的胚胎卵,而鲤鱼感染的头槽绦虫排出的虫卵多为早期分裂卵,甚至在盛夏,水温在28℃-30℃的情况下也无例外.虫卵发育程度不同,卵的孵化期也有差异.在同等温度28℃-29℃时,草鱼头槽绦虫虫卵的孵化期为1.69±0.17 d;鲤鱼的头槽绦虫虫卵的孵化期为3.98±0.3 d.此外,种群结构也有明显区别,草鱼的头槽绦虫在繁殖季节,体长＜1 cm的幼虫占种群的主体,年终时绦虫全部从宿主体内消失,生活周期从初染至消敛约1年;鲤鱼的头槽绦虫主体全年皆为孕节成虫,在Ⅱ龄商品鱼中继续繁殖.本研究表明,鲤鱼及草鱼的寄生鱊头槽绦虫显示的多样性是因长期适应不同生活环境从而演化为两个不同的亚种[动物学报 53(3):470-480,2007].
