长江安庆新洲水域鱼类群落结构及多样性

沙洲水域环境良好,饵料资源丰富,栖息生境多样,为鱼类的生长繁殖提供了优良的生存环境。为了解长江安庆新洲水域鱼类群落结构特征,于2017年4月、7月、10月和12月对安庆江段新洲水域鱼类群落进行季节性调查。共采集鱼类64种,分属5目11科48属,其中62.5%为鲤科鱼类。以物种数和多样性指数分析群落多样性特征,结果表明新洲水域鱼类种类多样性水平较高。单因素方差分析表明,该群落多样性季节差异显著(P0.05),空间差异不明显。新洲水域鱼类群落优势种为鳊(Parabramis pekinensis Basilewsky, 1855)、鲤(Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758)、贝氏■(Hemiculter bleekeri Warpachowsky, 1887)、银鮈(Squalidus argentatus Sauvage et Dabry, 1874)和似鳊(Pseudobrama simoni Bleeker, 1864)。4种摄食功能群中,杂食性(42.19%)和肉食性(35.94%)鱼类物种数比例较高;3种生态类群中,淡水定居性鱼类占绝对优势(84.37%);3种栖息水层类型中,底层鱼类物种数比例较高,占37.50%。大型经济鱼类占总渔获物比例低(0.01%),但个体较大,因而相对重要性指数(IRI)高。总体上,新洲鱼类群落多样性和丰富度指数较高,均匀度指数偏低,个体小型化趋势明显。捕捞强度过大、水利工程建设导致的江湖阻隔及外来物种入侵是新洲水域渔业资源衰退的主要因素。由此,建议持续开展长江渔业资源监测,加强长江干流沙洲水域渔业资源保护。     

Complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of the Nile tilapia (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oreochromis niloticus</Emphasis>) and Blue tilapia (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oreochromis aureus</Emphasis>): genome characterization and phylogeny applications

Cichlid fishes have played an important role in evolutionary biology and aquaculture industry. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) and Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), the useful models in studying evolutionary biology within Cichlid fishes, are also mainly cultured species in aquaculture with great economic importance. In this paper, the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome for O. niloticus and O. aureus were determined and phylogenetic analyses from mitochondrial protein-coding genes were conducted to explore their phylogenetic relationship within Cichlids. The mitogenome is 16,625 bp for O. niloticus and 16,628 bp for O. aureus, containing the same gene order and an identical number of genes or regions with the other Cichlid fishes, including 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one putative control region. Phylogenetic analyses using three different computational algorithms (maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian method) show O. niloticus and O. mossambicus are closely related, and O. aureus has remotely phylogenetic relationship from above two fishes.     

大黄素、维生素C及其配伍对团头鲂抗拥挤胁迫的影响

选取1200尾健康的团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala Yih),体重为(133.44±2.11)g,随机分成4组,其中1组为对照组,投喂基础日粮(含50.3 mg/kg维生素C,以L-抗坏血酸-2-多聚磷酸酯为Vc源),另外3组为试验组,投喂饲料是在基础日粮中分别添加60 mg/kg大黄素、700 mg/kg Vc、60 mg/kg大黄素+700 mg/kg Vc。饲养60d后,从各池中取25尾规格基本一致的鱼,进行连续48h的拥挤胁迫(100 g/L)实验,分别于0h、12h、24h、48h取样分析团头鲂血液和肝脏的生化指标以及肝脏两种HSP70s mRNA的表达水平,并统计各组鱼的累积死亡率。结果表明,在拥挤胁迫前,与对照组相比,大黄素、Vc组显著提高了团头鲂血清总蛋白(TP)、溶菌酶(LSZ)和碱性磷酸酶(AKP)的水平,肝脏超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性和诱导型HSP70 mRNA的表达水平,降低了血清皮质醇(COR)、甘油三酯(TG)以及肝脏丙二醛(MDA)的含量(P<0.05),且大黄素组还显著提高了肝脏过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性(P<0.05);配伍组虽然血清TP、LSZ以及肝脏HSP70 mRNA的水平显著升高,肝脏MDA的含量也显著降低(P<0.05),但均未表现出协同增效作用。在拥挤胁迫后,与对照组相比,大黄素、Vc组不同程度地提高了团头鲂血清TP和AKP的水平,肝脏SOD和CAT的活性以及HSC70和HSP70 mRNAs的表达水平,降低了血清COR、葡萄糖(GLU)、谷丙转氨酶(GPT)、谷草转氨酶(GOT)、TG以及肝脏MDA的水平,而LSZ活性表现为先下降后升高;在配伍组中,这些指标虽然有类似以上的变化趋势,但大多差异不显著(P>0.05),且同样未表现出协同增效作用。统计表明,大黄素和Vc组鱼的累积死亡率在拥挤胁迫24h、48h均显著低于对照组(P<0.05),而配伍组与对照组的差异均不显著(P>0.05)。由此可见,在基础日粮中添加大黄素60 mg/kg或Vc 700 mg/kg,可提高团头鲂的非特异性免疫力、抗氧化能力以及两种HSP70s mRNA的表达水平,增强鱼体的抗应激能力。二者配伍则效果不佳,其相互作用的机理还有待于进一步研究。     

大溪水库和沙河水库主要鱼类营养结构的时空变化

为了解大溪水库和沙河水库主要鱼类食物网营养结构的时空变化特征,依据2017年夏、秋季和2018年春季在大溪水库和沙河水库的调查结果,利用稳定同位素方法对这两个水域内鱼类的营养关系进行研究,得到以下主要结论：大溪水库共出现鱼类28种,沙河水库29种,鱼类群落结构组成结构相似,呈现出以湖泊定居性鱼类和鲤科鱼类为主的特征。配对双样本时空差异分析显示,相同季度内两个水库鱼类的δ¹³C值差异显著,说明两个水库的初级食物源存在明显不同;相同区域内,大溪水库季度差异不明显,而沙河水库差异显著,说明大溪水库的初级食物源组成变动较沙河水库的更小。δ¹⁵N值时空变化规律不明显,这可能与水库周围农业活动和人类活动的不确定性有关。鱼类群落指标值分析结果显示,沙河水库的CR、NR、TA、SEAc、CD、MNND和SDNND指标值均高于大溪水库,且春季高于其他季度,这表明沙河水库春季食物网较其他季节、较大溪水库更为复杂,食物源更加丰富,食物链更长,营养层次更多,核心生态位宽幅更低,营养级多样性的总程度更高,营养生态位均匀度较低,大溪水库食物网的冗余程度较高,说明相较于沙河水库,大溪水库生态系统稳定性更高,抗干扰能力更强,这可能与沙河水库周边广泛的茶园、旅游区和和居民区密集分布有关。基于各种量化群落指标对大溪水库和沙河水库的食物网结构进行时空差异分析,能够为大溪水库和沙河水库水生生态系统的管理与修复提供理论支撑。     

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.     

Gene discovery from an ovary cDNA library of oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense by ESTs annotation

The oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, is an important crustacean species in aquaculture. However, early gonad maturity is a ubiquitous problem which devalues the product quality. While husbandry and nutritional management have achieved little success in tackling this issue, a molecular approach may discover the genes involved in reproduction and development, which will provide the basic knowledge on reproductive control. In this study, a high-quality cDNA library of prawn was constructed from the ovary tissue. A total of 3294 successful sequencing reactions yielded 3256 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) longer than 100 bp. The cluster and assembly analyses yielded 1514 unique sequences including 414 contigs and 1168 singletons. About 719 (47.49%) unique sequences were identified as orthologs of genes from other organisms. By sequence comparability analysis, 28 important genes including cathepsin B, chromobox protein, Cdc2, cyclin B, DEAD box protein and ADF/cofilin protein were expressed. These genes may be involved in reproductive and developmental functions in prawn. Peritrophin consisting of cortical rods was also found in this species. The identification of these EST sequences in M. nipponense would improve our understanding on the genes that regulate reproduction and development in prawn species. This study also lays the groundwork for development of molecular markers related to ovary development in other prawn species.     

大黄葸醌提取物对建鲤抗应激及生长的影响

将750尾建鲤随机分成5组,第1组为对照组,投喂基础日粮,另外4组为试验组,投喂基础日粮中分别添加0．5％、1．0％、2．0％、4．0％大黄蒽醌提取物。从2005年7月到9月连续投喂70d后,对鱼体进行高密度应激,测定其生长、应激前后血液皮质醇、血糖、溶菌酶等变化。结果表明：与对照组相比,应激前添加大黄葸醌提取物提高了鱼体增重率、特定生长率、鱼体丰满度、血液溶菌酶活性,降低了饵料系数与鱼体死亡率,但是与大黄葸醌提取物的添加水平不成线性关系,其中2．0％试验组还显著降低了血液皮质醇。高密度应激1d后,各组血液中的皮质醇、血糖、溶菌酶都有不同程度的增加,其中对照组最高,添加1．0％和2．0％大黄蒽醌提取物的试验组相对较低。应激前后各组鱼的攻毒试验表明：除应激前添加1．0％和2．0％大黄蒽醌提取物的组没有死鱼外,其它各组都有死鱼,其中对照组死亡率最高。因此添加1．0％-2．0％大黄蒽醌提取物提高了机体抗应激能力,并对病原菌感染起一定的保护作用,促进了鱼体生长。     

长江江豚和瓶鼻海豚的血清转铁蛋白

血清转铁蛋白(Serum transferrin,Tf)是广泛存在于血清中的β球蛋白,其主要功能是将铁离子以安全的形式(Fe3 )在机体的吸收、储存和利用部位之间进行传递,为细胞生长提供铁(Fe3 )(Welch,1990);同时具有保护细胞、促进细胞分化和生长、抑菌和杀菌的作用(Paezetal.,2002;Liuet al     

Effects of specific and prolonged expression of zebrafish growth factors,Fgf2 and Lif in primordial germ cells in vivo

Primordial germ cells (PGCs), specified early in development, proliferate and migrate to the developing gonad before sexual differentiation occurs in the embryo and eventually give rise to spermatogonia or oogonia. In this study, we discovered that nanos3 3′UTR, a common method used to label PGCs, not only directed PGC-specific expression of DsRed but also prolonged this expression up to 26 days post fertilization (dpf) when DsRed-nanos3 3′UTR hybrid mRNAs were introduced into 1- to 2-cell-stage embryos. As such, we employed this knowledge to express zebrafish leukemia inhibitory factor (Lif), basic fibroblast growth factor (Fgf2) and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (Bmp4) in the PGCs and evaluate their effects on PGC development in vivo for over a period of 3 weeks. The results show that expression of Fgf2 significantly increased PGC number at 14- and 21-dpf while Bmp4 resulted in severe ventralization and death of the embryos by 3 days. Expression of Lif resulted in a significant disruption of PGC migration. Mopholino knockdown experiments indicated that Lif illicited its effect on PGC migration through Lif receptor a (Lifra) but not Lifrb. The general approach described in this study could be used to achieve prolonged PGC-specific expression of other proteins to investigate their roles in germ cell and gonad development. The results also indicate that zebrafish PGCs have a mechanism to stabilize and prolong the expression of mRNA that carries nanos3 3′UTR. Understanding this mechanism may make it possible to achieve prolonged RNA expression in other cell types.
