采用渔业声学方法和GIS模型对楠溪江鱼类资源量及空间分布的评估

采用快捷、直接、经济的渔业声学调查方法,结合GIS模型对温州楠溪江4个主要渔业作业区域的鱼类空间分布及资源量进行了评估。结果表明,4个区域的鱼类平均目标强度为(-55.03±5.44)dB,平均体长约为7cm,范围3—10cm,各区域的鱼类大小没有显著的统计学差异(P0.05)。同时4个区域的鱼类平均密度为8.87ind./1000m3,95%置信区间为1.66—16.09ind./1000m3。其中区域Ⅲ的鱼类密度最高,平均密度为(20.06±9.34)ind./1000m3。通过鱼类分布的GIS图形得知,鱼类的空间分布呈现斑块状的分布形式。按照ArcGIS对鱼类密度进行的栅格化数据,并结合各个栅格所代表的水体体积,进行鱼类资源量的估算,结果为4个探测区域的鱼类总尾数为2.5万尾,各个区域的鱼类资源量分别为:3971ind.、11478ind.、6587ind.、2978ind.。     

不同渔业方式水库鱼类资源的水声学评估

采用Biosonics DT-X回声探测仪(208 kHz)在2011年的秋末冬初对大溪、沙河、金牛山3个不同渔业方式的中等营养化水库进行了水声学调查,并构建了水库中鱼类资源分布的GIS模型.结果表明： 3个水库间鱼类平均大小无显著性差异,但鱼类目标强度(TS)分布曲线表明鱼类大小分布比例并不一致,受渔业方式影响明显.大溪水库鱼类密度(平均0.0183 ind·m^-3)与沙河水库鱼类密度(平均0.0124 ind·m^-3)差异不显著,金牛山水库鱼类密度(平均0.0085 ind·m^-3)显著小于大溪水库和沙河水库,3个水库中鱼类密度水平分布与水深没有显著的相关关系.3个水库中鱼类均成群分布,对大溪水库和沙河水库调查时还发现鱼类聚群行为.3个水库的鱼类资源量分布均在下游最高,除沙河水库受赶鱼作业影响外,其他2个水库大坝前鱼类资源量分布明显偏高.基于鱼类分布GIS建模的栅格化数据、各个栅格的水面面积,对TS>-60 dB鱼类资源总量进行估算,大溪水库约为48万尾,沙河水库约为61万尾,金牛山水库约为52万尾;对TS>-40 dB的鱼类进行统计评估,大溪水库约为5.04万尾,沙河水库约为5.29万尾,金牛山水库约为9.07万尾.     

三峡库区澎溪河鱼类时空分布特征的水声学研究

为了解三峡库区支流澎溪河鱼类时空分布变化,2009—2010年的秋季、冬季和春季,使用Simrad EY60鱼探仪对澎溪河的鱼类资源量及其时空分布特征进行3次声学调查。结果表明:3个季节鱼类水平分布不均匀,鱼类最大密度分别为67.07尾/1000 m3,19.66尾/1000m3,17.25尾/1000m3且不同季节上层、中层鱼类密度水平分布有显著性差异(P≤0.01,P=0.03);各季节鱼类密度垂直分布也有一定差异,冬季上层鱼类密度和下层鱼类密度差异较为显著(P=0.05);另外鱼类密度昼夜分布有显著性差异(P<0.05),造成该现象的原因主要是由于鱼类的昼夜垂直节律(Diel Vertical Migration,DVM)引起;3个季节的鱼类目标强度(TS值)的差异极其显著(P<0.01),其中秋季鱼类TS最高((-57.0±5.6)dB),春季TS值最低((-58.6±4.9)dB),造成该差异的原因是4—6月是长江上游鱼类繁殖季节,仔稚鱼居多。鱼类空间分布及其位点的水深关系分析显示,鱼类密度水平分布秋季、冬季与水深不相关(︱r︱<0.2),春季与水深中度负相关(r=-0.5,P≤0.05)。

为定量评估食卵鱼类对中华鲟资源的危害,1997－2001年间,对中华鲟产卵场所在的葛洲坝水利枢纽坝址至下游庙嘴之间长约5km的江段,进行了渔业捕捞样本抽样和解剖检测,运用体长股分析方法并结合淦获物中不同种类的相对数量比例估算出食卵鱼类资源量,研究结果表明,吞食中华鲟卵的主要有圆口铜鱼,铜鱼,瓦氏黄颡鱼等11种鱼类,其年度资源量为197487－744487尾,多年平均444822尾。     

两种鲤科经济鱼类水声目标强度的实验测定与应用评估

鱼类目标强度(Target Strength,TS)及其与鱼体长度的关系是渔业声学技术研究和应用的核心内容之一。本文以我国广泛分布的鲤科经济鱼类鲤(Cyprinus carpio)和鳙(Aristichthys nobilis)为研究对象,选择湖北省宜昌市隔河岩水库的一处僻静库湾作为实验地点,于2017年5月1—20日采用绳系实验法和Simrad EY60型(频率120 kHz)分裂波束回声探测仪,在环境干扰小的实验网箱里逐一测量单体实验鱼游动状态下的目标强度,由此构建2种鱼的目标强度与个体大小关系式。用于实验的鲤和鳙均为26尾,其全长分别为19.9—29.6 cm和49.2—74.2 cm,体重分别为175—461 g和1200—4700 g,实验所测TS值分别为–59.35—–45.20 dB和–34.22—–17.49 dB。回归得到实验鱼目标强度(TS,dB)与全长(TL,cm)关系式(1)鲤: TS = 29.84×lgTL – 95.23(R^2 = 0.74,P<0.01),(2)鳙: TS = 35.88×lgTL – 90.33 (R^2 = 0.83,P<0.01)。同时选择一个小型封闭水体(盐龙湖)“赶、拦、刺、张”联合渔法捕捞之前的鱼探仪调查数据作为分析实例,通过本文鳙TS-TL关系式估算全湖鱼类资源总量为89360 kg,折合40.1 g/m^2,捕捞产量(73610 kg)与之较为接近,在一定程度上反映了实验目标强度测定及其与体长关系式的合理性,有助于丰富我国内陆水域鱼类资源水声学评估技术的基础参数。     

二滩水电站水库形成后鱼类种类组成的演变

本文对二滩水库建成前后,雅砻江下游长约380km河段的鱼类种类结构、生态类群及相对资源量的变化进行了研究。结果表明水库建成后不同区段的鱼类种类结构发生了变化,喜栖静水和缓流环境的种类逐渐在库区占主导地位,适应急流环境的种类主要分布于库尾和支流等局部水域中,一些外来种已经定居并在某些水域形成了优势种群。在水库建成后的头几年,由于鱼类种群密度增加还导致了渔业捕捞量大幅度上升。针对上述变化,结合雅砻江梯级电站建设可能带来的进一步环境改变,作者提出了建立自然保护江段、开展人工繁殖放流、进行水库生态调度以及防止外来种入侵等措施和建议。     

长江中游鱼类资源量的估算

为了解长江中游的鱼类资源现状,于2018年5和6月以及9和10月在宜昌、石首、洪湖、武汉和湖口5个江段进行了渔获物调查工作。通过统计各江段的渔业捕捞情况,计算年捕捞量。用体长股分析方法,对铜鱼(Coreius heterodon)、鳊(Parabramis pekinensis)和瓦氏黄颡鱼(Tachysurus vachelli)的资源量进行估算,并以此推算各江段的鱼类总资源量。结果显示,宜昌江段的鱼类年总资源量1077.36 t,其中,铜鱼为623.25 t;石首江段的年总资源量为2190.74 t,铜鱼为698.19 t;洪湖江段的鱼类年总资源量为58.57 t,其中,瓦氏黄颡鱼为0.41 t;武汉江段的鱼类年总资源量1010.54 t,其中,鳊为148.65 t;湖口江段的年鱼类总资源量14.55 t,瓦氏黄颡鱼为0.032 t。估算结果可以为长江中游鱼类资源保护措施的制定提供数据参考。     

禁渔初期鄱阳湖鱼类时空分布特征

研究于2020—2021年使用Simrad EY60鱼探仪对鄱阳湖进行了秋季、春季和冬季共3次的水声学调查,并同步开展渔获物调查作为补充,分析鄱阳湖鱼类资源时空分布变化特征。结果表明:在季节分布上,鱼类目标强度和密度值都存在显著差异(P<0.05),在目标强度上表现为冬季[(–51.0±14.13) dB]>春季[(–52.10±4.59) dB]>秋季[(–52.71±9.95) dB],在鱼类密度上表现为冬季(54.61 ind./1000 m3)>秋季(46.10 ind./1000 m3)>春季(18.54 ind./1000 m3);在水平分布上,鱼类资源空间分布不均且不同湖区间有显著差异(P<0.05),秋季鱼类主要分布在中部湖区松门山,冬季鱼类主要分布在北部湖区通江水道;在垂直分布上,秋季和冬季均表现为底层>中层>表层,春季表现为表层>中层>底层。综合来看,鄱阳湖鱼类时空分布与鱼类的生活习性如产卵、育肥和越冬等因素密切相关。研究结果为从宏观空间尺度分析区域鱼类时空变动特征提供参考,也为鄱阳湖禁捕效果评估及生物完整...     

夏秋季瓯江口海域鱼类数量的时空分布

本文利用2007年6月和9月瓯江口海域渔业资源调查资料,研究瓯江口鱼类密度的时空分布,分析优势种、地形地貌、海流和水文等因素对鱼类分布的影响。结果表明,6月和9月鱼类重量密度分别为150．54kg／km^2和271．53kg／km^2,尾数密度为29．11&#215;10^3ind．／km^2和14．99&#215;10^3ind．／km^2。以此推算出：6月鱼类资源量为67923kg,9月为122193kg。鱼类资源量在3个月中增长近一倍。6月的白姑鱼（Argyrosomus argentatus）和9月的龙头鱼（Harpodon nehereus）分别是本海域最重要的优势种。鱼类重量密度与尾数密度分布趋势一致,呈调查水域东部高于西部的分布趋势。6月至9月是幼鱼索饵肥育季节,索饵群体往往停留在瓯江口洞头群岛外侧宽阔海域。水深和鱼类密度相关性显著。台湾暖流、浙江沿岸水和瓯江径流的交汇是形成鱼类高密度区域重要的水文因素,表层水温是影响鱼类数量变化的重要环境因子。瓯江口鱼类数量的变化动力来自主要优势种对鱼类数量变化的回归贡献[动物学报54（6）：981—987,2008]。     

Ectogenesis and the case against the right to the death of the foetus

Ectogenesis, or the use of an artificial womb to allow a foetus to develop, will likely become a reality within a few decades, and could significantly affect the abortion debate. We first examine the implications for Judith Jarvis Thomson’s violinist analogy, which argues for a woman’s right to withdraw life support from the foetus and so terminate her pregnancy, even if the foetus is granted full moral status. We show that on Thomson’s reasoning, there is no right to the death of the foetus, and abortion is not permissible if ectogenesis is available, provided it is safe and inexpensive. This raises the question of whether there are persuasive reasons for the right to the death of the foetus that could be exercised in the context of ectogenesis. Eric Mathison and Jeremy Davis have examined several arguments for this right, doubting that it exists, while Joona Räsänen has recently criticized their reasoning. We respond to Räsänen’s analysis, concluding that his arguments are unsuccessful, and that there is no right to the death of the foetus in these circumstances.     

On the diversity of the Cladocera in the tropics

The mythical concept of an impoverished tropical cladoceran fauna is refuted. On a planetary scale, around half of the cladoceran species presently known occur exclusively in the tropics-subtropics, often with considerable restriction to particular geographical subzones. On a regional (political) scale, the situation is often unclear because of the continued fragmentary nature of studies, and because political units are not a good basis for biogeographical comparisons. At the finest level of resolution (lake-perlake comparisons), there appears to be an upper limit of c. 50 cladoceran species per individual lake. No significant difference between lakes in the temperate zone and in the tropics could be established here. Daphnia is largely absent from the tropics, but is replaced by more Sidids, Moinids, and Bosminids, such that the average cladoceran community in the limnetic zone of a tropical lake is not characterized by less species but rather by lower population densities. This, in turn, is considered a consequence of higher prevalent predation levels in the tropics.     

Tubular networks in the terminal endings of the visual receptor cells in the human,the monkey,the cat and the dog

Summary A tubular network was found in the terminal endings of the visual receptor cells in the human, the monkey (Macaca mulatta), the cat and the dog. These tubules are arranged in close groups in the vicinity of the synaptic lamellae and the invaginated dendrites. According to the form, diameter, density of the tubules and to the consistence of the network formed by them one can distinguish at these places an initial type (type I), a transitory (type II) and a vesicular one (type III). In the the type III branching, bizarre forms are frequent. The diameter of all the tubules reaches 500–600 Å, their density and walls being the same as in the synaptic vesicles.Similar networks also occur in the axons of the visual receptor cells of the monkey.

Zusammenfassung In den Endigungen der Photorezeptorzellen von Mensch, Affe (Macaca mulatta), Katze und Hund kommen aus Tubuli bestehende Komplexe vor. Organellenartig in geschlossenen Gruppen angeordnet, liegen sie in Nähe der synaptischen Lamellen und der invaginierten Dendriten. An diesen Stellen kann man nach Form, Durchmesser, Dichte und Konsistenz der von den Tubuli gebildeten Komplexe drei Typen unterscheiden: 1. einen initialen (Typus I), 2. einen Übergangstypus (Typus II) und 3. einen vesiculären Typus (Typus III). In letzterem kommen häufig verzweigte, bizarre Formen vor. Der Durchmesser sämtlicher Tubuli erreicht 500–600 Å. Ihre Dichte und ihre Wand gleicht denen der synaptischen Vesikel.Ähnliche Komplexe fanden wir auch in den Axonen der Photorezeptorzellen vom Affen.

     

Assessing the Physiological State of the Fucoids from the Barents Sea Littoral by the End of the Polar Night

Methods of amperometry and potentiometric titration were used to follow dark respiration (DR) and apparent photosynthesis (AP) in the fucoids Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jol, Fucus vesiculosus L., and F. serratus L. from the Barents Sea littoral by the end of the 40-day-long polar night. The macroalgae were shown to manifest species-specific low rates of photosynthesis and respiration. However, in spite of their low photosynthetic status due to the effects of subzero temperature and prolonged low or zero illumination, the macroalgae have been able to restore DR and AP to the initial level already by the day 9; the ability to restore AP depended on the level of illumination. The study of the changes in the carbonate–bicarbonate system in the light and darkness demonstrated that the macroalgae grown in darkness, in contrast to those grown in twilight, could absorb bicarbonate in darkness; however, they lost this capacity after two-day-long illumination at an irradiance of 7 mol/(m² s). Bicarbonate uptake in darkness and the capacity to restore the systems of photosynthesis and respiration in fucoid cells are discussed in the context of algal energy metabolism under the polar night conditions.     

Arranging the elements of the potassium channel: the T1 domain occludes the cytoplasmic face of the channel

The voltage-gated potassium channel is currently one of the few membrane proteins where functional roles have been mapped onto specific segments of sequence. Although high-resolution structures of the transmembrane portions of three bacterial potassium channels, the tetramerization domain and the cytoplasmic ball are available, their relative spatial arrangement in mammalian channels remains a matter of ongoing debate. Cryo-electron microscopic images of the six transmembrane voltage-gated Kv channel have been reconstructed at up to 18 Å resolution, revealing that the T1 domain tetramerizes and is suspended below the transmembrane segments. However, the resolution of these images is insufficient to reveal the location of the third piece of the puzzle, the inactivating ball domain. We have used the aberrant interactions observed in a series of chimæric channels to establish that an assembled T1 domain restricts access to the cytoplasmic face of the channel, suggesting that the N-terminal ball and chain may be confined in the space between the T1 domain and the transmembrane portion of the channel.     

Feeding the vertebrate retina from the Cambrian to the Tertiary

The retina of the vertebrate eye is metabolically active and requires nutritive support. During the last 540 million years it has evolved into forms as complicated and nutritionally demanding as those found in avian or primate eyes. Diffusion from the choroid is generally able to supply the metabolic needs of thin retinae. However, when the thickness exceeds the limits of diffusion, structures are needed to supplement the vascular supply from the choroid. These supplemental nutritive devices include the choroidal gland, the falciform process and preretinal vascular plexus of fish, the conus papillaris of lizards, the pecten oculi of birds, the intraretinal vessels of mammals and a few novel systems that remain difficult to classify. These vascular systems are among the most variable features of the vertebrate eye. Here, we review classical and recent findings regarding such retinal nutrition systems, propose a three category classification for them based on histologic origins and speculate on the evolutionary forces which drove their development.     

Observations on the permeability of the choriocapillaris of the eye

Summary The choriocapillaris is a fenestrated capillary bed located posterior to the retinal pigment epithelium. It serves as the main source of supply to the photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium, and other cells of the outer retina. The permeability of these capillaries to intravenously injected ferritin (MW — approx. 480,000; mol. diam. 11 nm) was examined in the mouse, rabbit, and guinea pig, each of which is characterized by a different type of retinal vascularization. In all three species, the bulk of the ferritin remained in the capillary lumina, where it appeared to be blocked at the level of the diaphragmed fenestrae. Some ferritin was present in endothelial cell vacuoles. The results confirm previous work on the rat choriocapillaris and indicate that the barrier function of the choriocapillary endothelium is present even among species in which the retinal circulation differs significantly.Supported by NIH grant EY03418     

Separation of the pineal vesicle from the wall of the third ventricle during the post-hatching development of the chicken

Summary According to light- and electron-microscopic observations the pineal organ of the 3-day-old chicken consists of a prominent end vesicle and a tapering parenchymal stalk. During this stage the pineal lumen is in open communication with the third ventricle. However, in the 40-day-old chicken, which still possesses a well-developed end vesicle, the proximal portion of the pineal stalk displays regressive changes leading to local fragmentation. At this stage the pineal stalk is reduced, and the pineal lumen is missing. In 1-year-old chickens the parenchyma of the proximal portion of the stalk is further diminished, and in 3-year-old domestic fowl is completely displaced by bundles of collagenous fibers, only some nerve fibers being present. This post-hatching pineal development may reflect the sequence of changes leading from pineal sense organs to pineal glands.This work was supported by a grant-in-aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan
