Predation risk and feeding patterns of crucian carp

As part of an experimental study of the direct and indirect effects of piscivory on prey fish, the diets of crucian carp Carassius carassius were compared across sections of a divided pond; two sections were stocked with crucian carp alone and two with crucian carp plus perch Perca fluviatilis . Analysis of crucian gut contents indicated that the composition of invertebrate prey did not differ in the presence v . absence of perch. However, crucians, particularly small individuals (<10cm) that were most vulnerable to predation, displayed a lower intake of invertebrate prey in sections with perch. Although diet composition differed between crucians caught in inshore v. offshore habitats (with habitat use being related to crucian size and the presence or absence of perch), no clear pattern existed between habitat and total food intake. Overall, the major effects of predators on the diet of crucian carp appeared to be caused by increased ecological density (resulting from confinement of small crucians inshore) and reduced activity levels, rather than simple shifts to safer habitats.     

葡萄糖、维生素C对普安银鲫卵黄囊仔鱼发育中LPL和HL活性的影响

通过设置不同浓度的葡萄糖溶液和维生素C溶液分别添加到普安银鲫的孵化水体中,直至卵黄囊消失完全,探究葡萄糖和维生素C溶液分别浸泡对普安银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)卵黄囊仔鱼发育中脂蛋白脂酶(LPL)和肝脂酶(HL)活性的影响。葡萄糖浓度为0、5、10、15和20 g/L;维生素C浓度为0、20、25、30和35 mg/L,记录孵化时间、孵化率及仔鱼成活率,并测定了最适葡萄糖浓度组、维生素C浓度组与对照组中普安银鲫卵黄囊仔鱼发育中LPL和HL活性。结果显示:普安银鲫卵黄囊仔鱼发育中对照组与维生素C组LPL比活力与全活力呈"下降-上升"的变化趋势,HL比活力与全活力均呈上升趋势。葡萄糖组LPL和HL比活力与全活力呈上升趋势,在混合营养期与外源营养期,LPL和HL比活力与全活力显著高于对照组(P0.05),而维生素C组LPL和HL比活力与全活力仅稍高于对照组,但HL全活力在内源营养期显著高于对照组(P0.05)。研究表明:适宜水平的葡萄糖溶液可通过调节脂类代谢酶的活性来维持机体内脂质代谢的动态平衡,同时适宜水平的维生素C溶液能促进脂质代谢。     

NaCl盐度和NaHCO3碱度对松浦镜鲤、方正鲫的孵化及其仔鱼存活的影响

三种淡水鱼类在中国南北两个地区的肠道菌群差异比较

山东省德州市禹城市和湖南省长沙市望城区分别属于我国北方和南方地区,环境和气候差异明显。本试验以禹城市和望城区两地的草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idella)、鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)和鲤鱼(Cyprinus carpio)为研究对象,对肠道中的菌群进行16s rRNA V4高变区扩增,基于IonS5 TM XL测序平台进行测序,并对相关数据进行分析。结果表明,在门水平上鲫鱼、鲤鱼、草鱼的肠道优势菌主要为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、梭杆菌门(Fusobacteria)、硬壁菌门(Firmicutes),拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes),各组中这四种菌门所占比之和均在80%以上;基于Bray-Curtis距离值的秩次进行组间差异显著性检验,山东草鱼组和湖南草鱼组比较中组间差异大于组内差异(R=0.307,P<0.05),且线性判别分析显示湖南草鱼组的特征性菌群为弧菌属,而山东草鱼组的为梭菌纲,推测特征性菌群差异与环境的影响有关;有害菌种的统计分析表明,湖南鲫鱼组和鲤鱼组的嗜水气单胞菌属相对丰度明显高于对应的山东鲫鱼组和鲤鱼组,山东草鱼组和鲤鱼组的弧菌属相对丰度高于对应的湖南草鱼组和鲤鱼组,可能受外界环境的影响,不同地区抵御外来有害细菌的能力也不一样。本研究对两地的淡水鱼类肠道微生物群落结构进行了比较和分析,为进一步的鱼类发育研究奠定基础。     

Innate immune response and disease resistance in Carassius auratus by triherbal solvent extracts

This study reports the effect of aqueous, ethanol and methanol triherbal solvent extract from Azadirachta indica, Ocimum sanctum and Curcuma longa on innate immune mechanisms such as phagocytosis activity, respiratory burst activity, alternative complement activity and lysozyme activity and disease resistance in goldfish (Carassius auratus) against Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish were intraperitoneally injected with different doses of 0, 5, 50 and 100 mg kg⁻¹ body weight of each triherbal solvent extracts. The functional immunity in terms of percentage mortality and Relative Percent Survival (RPS) and innate immune response was assessed on week 1, 2 and 4 by challenging with live A. hydrophila (1 × 10⁷ cells ml⁻¹). All the chosen innate immune parameters were enhanced in the ethanol and methanol triherbal solvent extract treatment after week 2. However, the aqueous triherbal extract was enhanced only after week 4. The ethanol and methanol triherbal solvent extracts administration preceding the challenge with live A. hydrophila decreased the percentage mortality in the experimental groups with the consequence increase in RPS values. The study indicates that all the doses of ethanol or methanol triberbal solvent extracts could be positively influence the immune response and protect the heath status of goldfish against A. hydrophila infection.     

温度对鲫鱼性腺分化的影响

鱼类的性腺分化受各种环境因素的影响,而温度的影响是重要因素之一.本文通过组织学方法观察了鲫鱼(Carassius auratus)原生殖细胞的迁移、生殖嵴形成和性腺分化,并探讨温度对性腺分化的影响.孵化后12～40 d是鲫鱼性腺分化的敏感期.从第12 d起,仔鱼分成7组,每组分别用下列7种水温中的一种培育28 d:(16±1)℃、(20±1)℃、23～25℃、(27±1)℃、(30±1)℃、(32±1)℃、(34±1)℃.其中23～25℃组是对照组.结果显示,对照组幼鱼的雌雄比例大致是1:1(1:1.07).(20±1)℃组的幼鱼雌雄比例也接近1:1(1.09:1).在(27±1)℃组,雌性率上升,为55.3%(P<0.05).在低温组(16±1)℃,雌雄比例是1:1.45,雌性率达40.8%.然而,在高温组(30±1)℃、(32±1)℃、(34±1)℃中,雌雄比例分别是6.14:1、2.51:1和2.14:1.其中(30±1)℃实验组的雌性率最高,达到86.0%(P<0.01),性腺分化趋向雌性化.研究提示,鲫鱼的性别分化属于温度依赖型.当前全球性气候变暖,以及各种环境因素所产生的温室效应,有可能对鲫鱼的性别平衡产生影响.     

Genetic differentiation among Greek lake populations of Carassius gibelio and Cyprinus carpio carpio

The genetic structure of the Western Greece lake populations of Carassius gibelio and Cyprinus carpio carpio populations was characterized by using a PCR-based RFLP and sequencing analysis of mitochondrial rDNA genes and regions (16S rDNA, cytochrome b and D-loop). Our analysis was able to detect: (a) two haplotypes in C. c. carpio populations and two haplotypes in C. gibelio populations (b) a high nucleotide divergence between the two species and (c) two genetically distinct C. gibelio populations, one existing in the Amvrakia habitat (AMV1) with a second in Ozeros and Trichonida (OZE1 and TRI1) habitat. The present analysis indicates that genetic diversity observed was limited with a haplotype index between 0.0 and 55.6%, and a nucleotide diversity within and among populations between 0.0 and 1.27%. It also underlines a restricted mtDNA-based evaluation of the phylogenetic relationships among C. gibelio and C. c. carpio populations. In addition, the present study contributed knowledge on the genetic variation and structure of these populations which is absolutely necessary for any efficient fish management and/or conservation programme.

重金属铅对鲫鱼乳酸脱氢酶和过氧化氢酶活性的影响

在实验室条件下,采用毒性实验方法研究不同浓度重金属铅(Pb2 )对鲫鱼血清乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和血液过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的影响.研究结果表明,随着金属离子铅浓度的增高血清中乳酸脱氢酶和过氧化氢酶活性下降,但两种酶对铅离子影响的敏感程度不同.影响LDH活性的最低铅离子浓度为0.1mmol/L,而CAT为0.5mmol/L,当Pb2 浓度为1mmol/L时,LDH活性降至10%左右,而CAT仅下降50%左右.对重金属离子浓度与酶活性的定性和定量分析为有效监控鱼类生存环境提供了有价值的参考资料.
