The winter energy deficit and mortality of juvenile walleye pollock at extremely cold temperature were examined by field observations and laboratory experiments. In the Doto area, along the northern coast of Japan, juvenile walleye pollock resided on the continental shelf despite extremely cold temperatures (mean 0·4° C) during the latter half of winter (March to April). Measurements of the rate of energy depletion (equivalent to the routine metabolic rate) revealed that juvenile walleye pollock consumed 37% less energy at 0·5° C than at 2·0° C, suggesting an energetic benefit of residence in cold water (<1·0° C) over the shelf during winter. Prior to the starvation experiments, temperatures and ration level in the holding tanks were adjusted to create two different body condition groups of fish. Under the thermal condition of the latter half of winter (0·5° C), fish with a mean condition factor of 0·6 and 0·5 suffered 19·1 and 74·5% mortality, respectively, at the end of the experiments (after 56 days). The residual analysis of total body energy demonstrated that the cause of mortality was mainly associated with the depletion of energy reserves. When a logistic regression model for mortality derived from the experiments was applied to wild fish collected in March, the estimated overwintering mortality in 2004 and 2005 was 25·4 and <2·3%, respectively, assuming no feeding during the winter. Considering that juvenile walleye pollock feed during winter as shown in previous studies, intense overwintering mortality induced by energy depletion is improbable during the latter half of winter in the Doto area. 相似文献

Ontogenetic changes in temperature preference of Atlantic cod 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Final thermal preferendum ( T ) experiments were conducted in a horizontal thermal gradient tank from the beginning of August 2001 to mid‐November 2001 using Atlantic cod Gadus morhua from 6·5 to 79·0 cm fork length ( L F ). The value of T varied significantly ( P < 0·005) with L F ( T = 7·23–0·054 L F ), with smaller (younger) fish choosing higher temperatures than larger (older) fish. The preferendum varied from 6·9° C for fish of 6·5 cm to 3·0° C for those of 79·0 cm. Experiments comparing fish positions in the gradient tank between thermal gradients of 0·5–11·0 and 4·5–14·5° C demonstrated that fish positions were determined by temperature selection instead of undesirable tank effects. This study is the first to demonstrate the effect of ontogeny on temperature preferences of a marine fish species. 相似文献

The vulnerability of embryonic and larval stages of European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax to environmental temperature and the longer-term consequences for the early juveniles was demonstrated. This phenotypic plasticity was highlighted by subjecting D. labrax at 15·2 ± 0·3 or 20·0 ± 0·4° C (mean ± s . d .) up to metamorphosis and then at the same temperature (18·5 ± 0·7° C). After 4–6 weeks at the same temperature, the measurement of critical swimming speed at four exercise temperatures (15, 20, 25 and 28° C) showed a significantly higher swimming capacity in the fish initially reared at 15° C than for fish initially reared at 20° C. This performance was correlated with significant differences in the phenotype of red muscle. Thermally induced phenotypic plasticity was clearly demonstrated as an important mechanism controlling swimming performance in early juveniles of D. labrax . 相似文献

Thermal tolerance of age 0+ year Shubenacadie River (Nova Scotia, Canada) striped bass Morone saxatilis juveniles (mean ± s . e . fork length, L F , 19·2 ± 0·2 cm) acclimated in fresh water to six temperatures from 5 to 30° C was measured by both the incipient lethal technique (72 h assay), and the critical thermal method ( C m ). The lower incipient lethal temperature ranged from 2·4 to 11·3° C, and the upper incipient lethal temperature ( I U ) from 24·4 to 33·9° C. The area of thermal tolerance was 618° C2 . In a separate experiment, the I U of large age 2+ year fish (34·4 ± 0·5 cm L F ) was 1·2 and 0·6° C lower ( P < 0·01) than smaller age 1+ year fish (21·8 ± 0·5 cm L F ) at acclimation temperatures of 16 and 23° C. Using the C m , loss of equilibrium occurred at 27·4–37·7° C, loss of righting response at 28·1–38·4° C and onset of spasms at 28·5–38·8° C, depending on acclimation temperature. The linear regression slopes for these three responses were statistically similar (0·41; P > 0·05), but the intercepts differed (25·3, 26·0 and 26·5° C; P < 0·01). The thermal tolerance of this northern population appears to be broader than southern populations. 相似文献

Schooling chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta were biased towards the water surface (median position <1 m) under isothermal conditions (10° C) in a water column simulator (WCS). Thermal stratification (24/10° C) inhibited upward movement with fish congregating at the thermocline and displaying a clear avoidance of potentially lethal surface waters. A tri-phase model based on piece-wise nonlinear regression was used to describe the distribution shifts of chum salmon during a change from isothermal to thermally stratified conditions. Fish distribution was consistent with thermoregulatory behaviour and exhibited 'attraction', 'preference' and 'avoidance' phases. The thermal preference of 50% of the fish lay between 12·2 and 20·2° C, however, >83·5% of the fish occupied a 'preferred' temperature range of 13·7–17·9° C. The mean temperature at which 50% of chum salmon avoided rising temperature by shifting deeper in the water column and using the cooler thermocline was 20·2° C, and 90% avoidance occurred at 22·9° C. Behavioural responses to thermal stratification were consistent amongst underyearling fish of differing size and age. 相似文献

Two mature Sympterygia bonapartii held in captivity laid a total of 136 egg cases, 33 of them were incubated at constant temperature (16·5° C), salinity (36) and photoperiod (12L:12D). The hatching rate was 100%. Juvenile fish hatched after 135 ± 10 days (mean ± s . d .) and the mean total length, disc width and mass at hatching were 140 mm, 86 mm and 15·1 g respectively. 相似文献

Radio‐tagged adult grayling Thymallus thymallus ( n = 22), monitored from mid August to mid December 1999 in the River Kuusinkijoki, Finland, shifted by the end of September (water temperature 10·0–14·5° C) from riffle sites to deeper and slower pool sites 0·7–1·6 km up‐ or downstream. In early winter ( c . 0° C water temperature), eight of 13 fish still under study made a further shift into new pool sites, possibly triggered by ice formation. The summer range of grayling in the riffles was smaller (mean ± s . d . length: 75 ± 146 m) than the autumn range (99 ± 46 m) in the pools, but gross daily movements were equally short in both the seasons (18 ± 34 m and 15 ± 7 m, respectively). In late summer, adult grayling preferred water depths 80–120 cm and mean velocities >40 cm s−1 . In autumn, the preferred ranges were 100–240 cm and <30 cm s−1 , respectively. Substratum was mainly boulders in the summer sites, and gravel or pebbles in the autumn sites. 相似文献

Eggs of diploid tench Tinca tinca were half-stripped out and stored for 0 (control batch), 1, 3 and 5 h at mean ± s . d . 17·0 ± 0·4 and 21·9 ± 0·5° C or for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h at 24·0 ± 0·0° C in vitro prior to fertilization. The eggs remaining in vivo in the fish kept at 17·0 ± 0·4 and 21·9 ± 0·5° C were collected and fertilized in the same time intervals. Fertilization rate and larval yield mostly decreased after 3–5 h storage of eggs both in vitro and in vivo and only the diploid larvae were found in all control batches. Triploid larval yields increased to a maximum 5·26% after 5 h in vitro storage at 24·0° C and 1·07 and 1·60% after 3 h in vitro storage at 21·9 and 17·0° C, respectively. Triploid larval yield during in vivo storage at 21·9° C reached a maximum 0·91% after 5 h. As the spontaneous autotriploid larvae arose solely from fertilized eggs previously subjected to postovulatory egg ageing by means of prolongated storage, the autotriploidy was probably caused by failure of extrusion of the second polar body. 相似文献

The compensatory growth of juvenile brown flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (body mass c. 12 g) following different thermal exposure was investigated. Fish were exposed to one of the five temperatures: 8·5 ( T 8·5 ), 13·0 ( T 13·0 ), 17·5 ( T 17·5 ), 22·0 ( T 22·0 ) and 26·5° C ( T 26·5 ) for 10 days and fish grew best at 22·0° C. Then the water temperature in all treatments was equably adjusted to 22·0° C over 3 days. At the end of the following 30 days after temperature adjustment, there were no significant differences between body masses of fish in the different treatments (wet body mass at the end of the experiment ranged from 22·13 to 24·56 g). Results indicated that the juvenile P. olivaceus achieved complete compensatory growth. Analysis of the dynamics of the feeding rates and feed conversion efficiencies indicated that compensatory growth of the fish experienced low temperature ( T 8·5 , T 13·5 and T 17·5 ) or high temperature ( T 26·5 ) exposure was mainly dependent on increasing feed intake (hyperphagia) and possibly by improvement in feed conversion efficiency. The moisture content was not affected by different temperature exposure significantly. The lipid and energy content of juvenile P. olivaceus in T 8·5 , however, were significantly lower than other treatment. Results of the current study indicate that a short period of low or high temperature exposure may not affect annual growth, but may affect lipid and energy deposition. 相似文献

Countergradient variation in growth and food conversion efficiency of juvenile turbot 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Growth performance of a high latitude (Norway) population of juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maximus , was superior to that of two other lower latitude populations (Scotland, France) especially at 18° and 22° C. Overall these results lend some support to the hypothesis of countergradient variation in growth. The Norwegian population had the highest estimated temperature optimum for growth ( T opt.G , ±S.E.) (23·0±0·9°C) and food conversion efficiency ( T opt.Ec ) (17·5±0·3), followed by the French ( T opt.G 21·1±1·0; T opt.Ec , 16·7±0·1) population, whereas the Scottish population had the lowest optimum ( T opt.G , 19·6±0·6; T opt Ec , 16·5±0·1°C). These results have two major implications: firstly, for turbot culture, particularly in selection work focusing on growth performance; secondly, if countergradient variation in growth performance takes place within a species one cannot assume automatically that one set of physiological parameters, in this case growth-related parameters, is satisfactory to predict growth for a species throughout its range as different populations might show a difference in response towards different physiological parameters. 相似文献

The growth of 1-year-old Arctic cisco ( Coregonus autumnalis ) was monitored under laboratory conditions for fish acclimated to one of two temperatures (5 and 10° C) and one of five salinities (6, 12, 18,24, 30‰). Fish were maintained for 43 days at rations of 3% wet body weight per day at 5° C and 5% wet body weight per day at 10° C, with rations adjusted for weight gain every 7–12 days. Fish increased 9–11% in length and 55–71% in weight at 5° C, and 23–27% in length and 141–161% in weight at 10° C. Length and weight increased linearly over 43 days. There was a statistically significant effect of temperature on growth but no statistically significant effect of salinity. Higher growth rates at 10° C were partially attributable to significantly greater gross conversion efficiency at the higher temperature. Over the course of the experiment, the condition (weight per unit length) of all fish increased by 3·2 to 63·6% at 5° C and by 5·6 to 46·0% at 10° C. There was no discernible effect of salinity on condition at either temperature. These results demonstrate that, with salinity acclimation and high food ration, 1-year-old Arctic cisco can grow at equivalent rates across salinities ranging from 6 to 30‰. The ecological implications of the results are discussed. 相似文献

The growth properties of juvenile spotted wolffish Anarhichas minor reared at 4, 6, 8 and 12° C, and a group reared under 'temperature steps', (T‐step) i.e . with temperature reduced successively from 12 to 9 and 6° C were investigated. Growth rate and feed efficiency ration was significantly influenced by temperature and fish size. Overall growth rate was highest at 6° C (0·68% day−1 ) and lowest at 12° C (0·48% day−1 ), while the 4 and 8° C, and the T‐step groups had similar overall growth rates, i.e . 0·59, 0·62 and 0·51% day−1 respectively. Optimal temperature for growth ( T opt G ) and feed efficiency ratio (Topt FCE ) decreased as fish size increased, indicating an ontogenetic reduction in T opt G and T opt FCE . The results suggest a T opt G of juvenile spotted wolffish in the size range 135–380 g, dropping from 7·9° C for 130–135 g to 6·6° C for 360–380 g juveniles. The T opt FCE dropped from 7·4° C for 120–150 g to 6·5° C for 300–380 g juveniles. A wider parabolic regression curve between growth, feed efficiency ratio and temperature as fish size increased, may indicate increased temperature tolerance with size. Individual growth rates varied greatly at all time periods within the experimental temperatures, but at the same time significant size rank correlations were maintained and this may indicate stable size hierarchies in juvenile spotted wolffish. 相似文献

The energetic cost for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha to forage in habitats of different salinity and depth was quantified using a behavioural titration based on ideal free distribution theory. When given a choice between freshwater habitats of different depths (>0·83 or <0·83 m), a greater proportion of fish used the deeper habitat. When the deeper habitat was saltwater, the proportion of fish using it increased. When food was added to both the shallow freshwater and deep saline habitats, however, fish distribution returned to that observed when both habitats were fresh water. This indicates that the preference for deep saline habitats during the stratified phase was driven by some benefit associated with residency in deeper water, rather than salinity. The low perceived cost of low salinity might be in part due to the fish's ability to minimize this cost by only making brief forays into the alternate freshwater habitat. When the food ration delivered to the more costly, shallow habitat was 50% greater than that delivered to the less costly, deep habitat, fish distributed themselves equally between the two habitats, presumably because of equal net benefits. This study demonstrates that juvenile Chinook salmon prefer deep saline habitat to shallow freshwater habitats but will make brief forays into the freshwater habitat if food availability is sufficiently high. 相似文献

Muskellunge Esox masquinongy eggs activated with UV-irradiated yellow perch Perca flavescens sperm were subjected to heat shock at 31 ± 1° C for 6 min, 20 min after fertilization in three experiments. Survival at eyed stage was 1·7 ±1·6, 6·8 ± 4·8 and 2·3 ±0·5% in experiments I, II and III, respectively. After rearing the gynogenetic muskellunge in troughs and then in ponds, the sex ratio of gynogens in experiment I did not significantly (P>0·05) differ from the expected ratio 0:1 (male: female), however, one male and one intersex were observed. In experiments II and III, the sex ratio of gynogens differed significantly from expected (0 : 1). Three months after hatching, the growth of females did not significantly (P>0·05) differ among control and gynogenetic groups, whereas male growth was significantly (P<0·01) higher in the control v. gynogenetic group. The histological structures of the gynogenetic fish gonads in both sexes were similar to those described in the gonads of control muskellunge. After the overwintering period, signs of active spermatogenesis were observed in the testis of 1 + year old gynogenetic fish, whereas ovaries contained only oocytes at the perinucleolar stage. At this stage, plasma sex steroids testosterone (T) and oestradiol-17β (E2) cannot be used to discriminate the sex of gynogenetic muskellunge, as intersex, male and female fish had similar levels of T and E2. 相似文献

In late summer (13 August–13 September 1998), at water temperatures of 12·0–15·7° C, grayling ( n =14) stayed mainly in the riffle-section where they were captured in a large regulated river in northern Finland, moving little between consecutive days. In autumn (2–30 October 1998), at 1·7–6·7° C, the fish ( n =16) migrated to potential overwintering sites 0–14 km up- or downstream by mid October, moving mainly short distances thereafter. The daily movement rates, and the total ranges covered by the fish in late summer and autumn were 54±32 m (mean± s.d ) and 1053±1636 m, and 190±168 m and 3135±1850 m, respectively. In autumn the fish used deeper habitats (most suitable range 150–400 cm) with lower current velocities (20–80 cm s−1 ) and finer bottom substrata (mainly sand) than in late summer (depth 100–325 cm, velocity 30–110 cm s−1 , and cobble-boulder substrata). 相似文献

Changes in the acidity and lactic acid content of 'Nono', a Nigerian cultured milk product 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Changes in the pH value and lactic acid content of the uninoculated, cultured Nigerian whole milk product, 'Nono', during incubation at room temperature (27°± 2°C) for 120 h were monitored. The pH decreased from 6·78 ± 0·19 to 4·30 ± 0·11 while the lactic acid content increased from 0·32 ± 0·04% to 2·50 ± 0·02% (w/v). This was accompanied by souring and curdling of the milk particles. 相似文献

Growth rate of individually tagged juvenile halibut was influenced significantly by the interaction of temperature and fish size. The results suggest an optimum temperature for growth of juvenile halibut in the size range 5–70 g between 12 and 15° C. Overall growth rate was highest at 13° C (1·62% day −1 ). At c. 5 g at the beginning of the experiment, fish at 16° C had the highest growth rate (3·2% day −1 ), but reduced this rate as they grew bigger. At 9 and 11°p C, growth rates were equal or only slightly lower during the later stages of the experiment, while the fish at 6° C showed significantly lower overall growth rate (0·87% day−1 ). Optimal temperature for growth decreased rapidly with increasing size, indicating an ontogenetic reduction in optimum temperature for growth. Moreover, a more flattened parabolic regression curve between growth and temperature as size increased indicated reduced temperature dependence with size. Although individual growth rates varied significantly at all times within the experimental temperatures, significant size rank correlations were maintained during the experiment. This indicated an early establishment of a stable size hierarchy within the fish groups. Haematocrit was highest at the highest temperature while Na+ /K+ -ATPase activity was inversely related to temperature. There was no difference in plasma Na+ , Cl− and K+ concentrations among the temperature groups. 相似文献

The von Bertalanffy growth parameters for common wolf–fish Anarhichas lupus in the North Sea were: male: L ∞=111·2 cm, t 0 =–0·43 and K =0·12; and female: L ∞=115·1 cm, t 0 =–0·39 and K =0·11, making this the fastest growing stock reported. Resting metabolic rates (RMR±S.E.) and maximum metabolic rates (MMR±S.E.) for six adult common wolf–fish (mean weight, 1·39 kg) at 5° C were 12·18±1·6 mg O2 kg–1 h–1 and 70·65±7·63 mg O2 kg–1 h–1 respectively, and at 10° C were 25·43±1·31 mg O2 kg–1 h–1 and 113·84±16·26 mg O2 kg–1 h–1 . Absolute metabolic scope was 53% greater at 10° C than at 5° C. The diet was dominated by Decapoda (39% overall by relative occurrence), Bivalvia (20%) and Gastropoda (12%). Sea urchins, typically of low energy value, occupied only 7% of the diet. The fast growth probably resulted from summer temperatures approximating to the optimum for food processing and growth, but may have been influenced by diet, and reduced competition following high fishing intensity. 相似文献

This study investigated behavioural thermoregulation by subyearling fall (autumn) Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in a reservoir on the Snake River, Washington, U.S.A. During the summer, temperatures in the reservoir varied from 23° C on the surface to 11° C at 14 m depth. Subyearlings implanted with temperature-sensing radio transmitters were released at the surface at temperatures >20° C during three blocks of time in summer 2004. Vertical profiles were taken to measure temperature and depth use as the fish moved downstream over an average of 5·6–7·2 h and 6·0–13·8 km. The majority of the subyearlings maintained average body temperatures that differed from average vertical profile temperatures during most of the time they were tracked. The mean proportion of the time subyearlings tracked within the 16–20° C temperature range was larger than the proportion of time this range was available, which confirmed temperature selection opposed to random use. The subyearlings selected a depth and temperature combination that allowed them to increase their exposure to temperatures of 16–20° C when temperatures <16 and >20° C were available at lower and higher positions in the water column. A portion of the subyearlings that selected a temperature c. 17·0° C during the day, moved into warmer water at night coincident with an increase in downstream movement rate. Though subyearlings used temperatures outside of the 16–20° C range part of the time, behavioural thermoregulation probably reduced the effects of intermittent exposure to suboptimal temperatures. By doing so, it might enhance growth opportunity and life-history diversity in the population of subyearlings studied. 相似文献

Relationships between nutritional state, behavioural response to prey and gastric evacuation rates were examined in juvenile Pacific halibut Hippoglossus stenolepis feeding on squid. Pacific halibut reared at 2, 6 and 10° C were fasted for 1 or 7 days to generate variation in energetic state. The 7 day fast resulted in measurable declines in condition indices at 10 and 6° C but not at 2° C. At 10° C, all Pacific halibut consumed the first meal offered, but fish previously fasted for 7 days took significantly longer to locate and consume the meal than fish fasted for only 1 day. At 2° C, Pacific halibut fasted for 7 days did not generally consume the first meal offered, but resumed feeding 2·1 days sooner, on average, than fish fasted for only 1 day. The gastric evacuation rate of the squid meal was best described by a power model with near‐exponential curvature ( a = 1·011). The evacuation rate was strongly temperature‐dependent ( Q 10 = 3·65) but displayed the same degree of variability at each temperature. The evacuation rate in Pacific halibut was not affected by feeding history, body size or energetic state. Furthermore, individual variation in gastric evacuation rate was not correlated with feeding responsiveness at any temperature. These results indicate a general plasticity in the behavioural but not physiological aspects of energy acquisition. 相似文献
