葛洲坝下中华鲟繁殖生物学特性及其人工繁殖效果

以1998—2004年(除2002年外)间从葛洲坝下产卵场捕获的57尾(雌36尾,雄21尾)中华鲟人工繁殖群体为材料,研究了中华鲟人工繁殖群体的繁殖生物学特性.结果表明:1998—2004年间中华鲟雌鲟体长240～320cm,体质量140～432kg,年龄15～30龄;雄鲟体长153～284cm,体质量70～244kg,年龄12～26龄.雌鲟催产率93·1%,雄鲟催产率100%.卵子可明显分为7种颜色;绝对怀卵量为20～59万粒,平均35·8万粒;相对怀卵量820～3020粒·kg-1,平均1590粒·kg-1.精液明显分为4种颜色;绝对采精量1000～5952ml,平均2597·8ml;相对采精量1·25～31·24ml·kg-1,平均13·3ml·kg-1.多年人工催产受精率平均达到63·7%,孵化率达到48·1%,6年共孵化出苗476·2万尾,保证了人工繁殖放流的实施.资料对比显示,中华鲟繁殖群体自然繁殖力大幅下降.

Reproductive biology and artificial propagation of Acipenser sinensis below Gezhouba Dam

A total of 36 females and 21 males of Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis were caught in 1998-2004 excluding 2002 to study the characteristics of their reproductive biology and the effect of their artificial propagation. The results showed that the body length (BL), body mass (BM) and age of the females were 240-320 cm, 140-432 kg, and 15-30 years, and those of the males were 153-284 cm, 70-244 kg and 12-26 years, respectively. The inducing rate was 93.1% for females and 100% for males, and the ova had 7 different colors. The absolute fecundity was 200,000-590,000 eggs, with an average of 358,000 eggs, and the relative fecundity to BM was 820-3,020 eggs per kg, with an average of 1,590 eggs per kg. The sperm had 4 different colors. The absolute sperm quantity obtained from one male was 1,000-5,952 ml, with an average of 2,597.8 ml, and the relative sperm quantity to BM was 1.25-31.24 ml . kg(-1), with an average of 13.3 ml . kg(-1). During the study period, the average fertilization rate in artificial propagation was 63.7%, and the hatching rate was 48.1%, with 4,762,000 fry obtained. Compared with the data in 1976, the natural reproductive capacity of the Chinese sturgeon broodstocks declined greatly.
