Comparative population growth and life table demography of the rotifer Asplanchna girodi at different prey (Brachionus calyciflorus and Brachionus havanaensis) (Rotifera) densities

Population growth and life table demography of the predatory rotifer A. girodi using spineless Brachionus calyciflorus and spined Brachionus havanaensis as prey at densities of 1, 2, 4 and 8 ind. ml^–1 at 25°C were studied. Regardless of the prey species, the population of A. girodi increased with increasing availability of Brachionus in the medium. At any given prey density, A. girodi fed B. calyciflorus showed consistently better growth than when fed B. havanaensis. The maximum population densities of A. girodi varied from 0.28 to 1.8 ind. ml^–1 depending on the prey species and the density. The rate of population increase observed in population growth studies varied from 0.17 to 0.43 day^–1 when fed B. calyciflorus and 0.09 to 0.27 day^–1 when fed B. havanaensis. Male population of A. girodi was closely related to female density. The lowest average lifespan was observed for A. girodi when fed B. havanaensis at 1 ind. ml^–1, while the converse was the case when fed B. calyciflorus at comparable prey concentration. Net reproductive rates varied from 16 to 26 offspring female^–1 lifespan^–1 depending on the prey species and concentration. Generation time of A. girodi decreased with increasing food concentrations for both the prey species. The rates of population increase obtained from life table demography were lower for A. girodi when fed B. havanaensis than when fed B. calyciflorus.     

Life table demography and population growth of Brachionus variabilis Hempel, 1896 in relation to Chlorella vulgaris densities

We studied the life history variables and population growth characteristics of Brachionus variabilis, which was recorded for the first time from Mexico. The animals were fed Chlorella, using five concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 × 10⁶ cells ml^–1) at 25 °C. Food density was observed to have significant effect on life expectancy, average lifespan, gross reproductive rate, net reproductive rate, generation time and population growth rate. The average lifespan ranged from 3 to 6 days depending on the food density. The net reproductive rate ranged from 2 to 7 neonates female^–1 d^–1. The rate of population increase per day varied from 0.14 to 0.35. The highest net reproductive rate and average lifespan and life expectancy were recorded at Chlorella concentrations of 1 × 10⁶ and 2 × 10⁶ cells ml^–1.     

三氯杀螨醇浓度和食物密度对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长的影响

采用群体累积培养方法,研究了不同浓度(0.03、0.3、3.30和300 μg·L-1)的三氯杀螨醇和不同食物密度(3.0和5.0×106cells·ml-1)的斜生栅藻(Scenedesmus obliquus)对萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionus calyciflorus)种群增长影响.结果表明:藻类食物密度、三氯杀螨醇浓度以及二者的交互作用对轮虫种群增长率均有显著影响(P＜0.05);藻类食物密度和三氯杀螨醇浓度对轮虫最大种群密度也有显著影响(P＜0.01),但二者的交互作用对其却无显著作用(P＞0.05);与空白对照组相比,在3.0×106cells·ml-1藻密度下.0.03-30μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇显著提高了轮虫种群增长率,3μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇显著降低了轮虫的最大种群密度,而300μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇则极显著提高了轮虫的最大种群密度;在5.0×106cells·ml-1藻密度下,三氯杀螨醇对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长率和最大种群密度均无显著影响;高密度的藻类食物降低了0.03-30μg·L-1和300μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇分别对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长率和最大种群密度所具有的促进作用,以及3μg·L-1的三氯杀螨醇对轮虫最大种群密度所具有的抑制作用.     

A study of the freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia

Brachionus calyciflorus is one of freshwaterrotifers found in fish ponds in Pekanbaru, Riau,Indonesia. Its density varied depending on that ofphytoplankton. Maximum of 2.5 ×10³ ind. l^–1 was found in ponds fertilised with animal wastes.The fecundity and population growth of B.calyciflorus was studied. Results indicated that the fecundity of amictic females was higher thanthat of unfertilized mictic females. During their life span, amictic and mictic females produced29.7 and 12.5 eggs per female, respectively. In the mass culture of 500 ml media, the highestdensity of female and male rotifers was 975.8 and 9.6 ind. ml^–1, respectively. During 8 days cultureperiod, they also produced eggs as many as 124.2 ml^–1.Human and animal wastespromoted the growth of phytoplankton as food forrotifers in the pond. A laboratory study confirms this. The best growth of B. calyciflorus at a density of 109 ind. ml^–1 was found at 0.5 g l^–1 of humanexcreta. A high density of B. calyciflorus (542ind. ml^–1) was also found in semi-continuous culturewith chicken excreta.     

Comparative population dynamics of the rotifers Brachionus angularis and Keratella cochlearis

The results indicate that the two rotifer species Brachionus angularis and Keratella cochlearis have different life history strategies. Brachionus angularis appeared to be an r-strategist, showing higher reproductive, mortality and population growth rates than K. cochlearis. Additional evidence is offered suggesting that K. cochlearis is a K-strategist. Although K. cochlearis had a lower growth rate than B. angularis, this was compensated by a lower mortality rate, especially in pre-reproductive individuals. In addition, K. cochlearis allocated energy to reproduction more efficiently than B. angularis.     

Population growth dynamics of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis cultured in non-limiting food condition

Population growth parameters in batch culture of Brachionus plicatilis under a continuous supply of freeze-dried microalgae powder have been determined. Two B. plicatilis strains (L- and S-types) and four microalgae species (Nannochloropsis oculata, Nannochloropsis gaditana, Nannochloris oculata and Tetraselmis suecica) have been tested, establishing the dynamics of growth at different daily food rations. Cultures showed a short lag phase, an exponential growth phase, a long post-exponential growth phase and long decline with episodic increases. In both rotifer strains, the best growth was obtained with Nannochloropsis oculata and the poorest with Nannochloris oculata.     

Somatic and population growth in selected cladoceran and rotifer species offered the cyanobacterium it Microcystis aeruginosa as food

The ability of cladocerans and rotifers to utilise the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa was tested by comparing the somatic and population growth in cultures using Chlorella and Microcystis as food types. Five species of cladocerans (Ceriodaphnia cornuta, Scapholeberis kingi, Moina macrocopa, Daphnia carinata, Simocephalus vetulus) and two species of rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus, Hexarthra mira) were used in this study. In order to exclude the possibility of poor utilisation of Microcystis due to mechanical interference, single cells of Microcystis, (obtained by sonicating large colonies) were also offered. Experiments were done at 20 °Cs and 30 °C . In all the treatments tested, the population growth rate per day of the cladocerans ranged from -0.715 to 0.612 and that of the rotifers from -1.15 to 0.781. While C. cornuta, S. kingi and S. vetulus could utilise Microcystis, M. macrocopa and D. carinata were extremely susceptible to its toxins. The ability of the cladoceran populations to grow on Microcystis single cells was not related to the body length or gut length alone but to their ratio. The toxic effects of Microcystis were mitigated at the higher temperature. A strain of C. cornuta, collected from a Microcystis-dominated lake, had a higher growth rate on the toxic cyanobacteria suggesting that the tolerance to Microcystis could be a heritable trait. Of the two rotifer species, only H. mira survived and reproduced in some treatments of Microcystis. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

食物种类对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长率的影响

在短期慢性观测过程中,食物类型可能是造成萼花臂尾轮虫(Brachionuscalyciflorus)种群繁殖率变化的一种原因。共观测了分别单独投喂10种不同绿藻对轮虫种群增长率的影响。为验证藻青菌是藻类饵料(如绿藻Scenedesmus)有价值的佐剂这一假说,还用蓝细菌单独投喂或与斜生栅藻(Scenedesmusobliquus)混合投喂轮虫进行实验观测。结果发现食物种类对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长率影响显著。斜生栅藻组获得最大种群增长(1.6/d),而Desmodesmus组增长率最低(0.3/d)。以占斜生栅藻组最大增长的百分率来表示,其它几种绿藻组种群增长由高到低依次为:Desmodesmussubspicatus88%,小球藻(Chlorellavulgaris)83%,单壳缝藻(Monoraphidiumminutum)77%,D.quadricauda74%,S.falcatus71%,S.acuminatus69%,S.pectinatus64%,莱茵衣藻(Chlamydomonasreinhardtii)57%,D.abundans19%。轮虫增长率的差异不能用藻类饵料的大小差异来解释。蓝细菌(Microcystisaeruginosa)和(Synechococcuselongates)不论是单独投喂还是与优良藻类饵料(斜生栅藻)混合投喂都对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长有抑制作用。这种副作用似乎与微囊藻素无关。该结果不支持无毒蓝细菌可作为与其他绿藻饵料配合使用的优良佐剂这一假说。本研究所观察到的生长变化显示了饵料种类对萼花臂尾轮虫种群增长的影响,也预示了对毒性实验结果的影响     

北京西海萼花臂尾轮虫（Brachionus calyciflorus）种群休眠卵库的遗传分化

利用线粒体细胞色素氧化酶Ⅰ亚基(COI)序列片段(543bp)对孵化自西海萼花臂尾轮虫休眠卵库的46个克隆进行分析,共发现6个单倍型,平均遗传距离为0.032,分别聚在2个分支.选取4个出现频率较高的克隆群,分别对其在3种食物浓度(蛋白核小球藻Chlorella pyrenoidosa,1×106 cells/ml,6×106 cells/ml,12×106 cells/ml)和3种温度(15℃,25℃,35℃;蛋白核小球藻Chlorella pyrenoidosa,6×106 cells/ml)下的适合度特征(R0和rm)以及个体大小(背甲长和背甲宽)进行比较研究.生命表实验结果显示,单倍型与食物浓度的交互作用(R0:P=0.038;rm:P=0.027)以及单倍型与温度的交互作用(R0:P=0.006;rm:P=0.000)对种群增长均有显著影响,这4个单倍型克隆群对环境条件具有不同的偏好,并且各个克隆群对于环境变化有不同的生殖反应.形态测量结果显示,单倍型与温度的交互作用(背甲长:P=0.033;背甲宽:P=0.000)以及单倍型与温度的交互作用(背甲长:P=0.027;背甲宽:P=0.000)对个体大小均有明显的影响.结合生命表及形态数据,探讨了休眠卵库中各个克隆群的生态位及形态分化以及可能对种群结构的动态变化产生的影响.     

Effect of the cyclopoid copepod Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides on the interactions between the predatory rotifer Asplanchna intermedia and its prey Brachionus calyciflorus and B. angularis

In many shallow, eutrophic subtropical ponds, brachionid rotifers are common prey of the predatory copepod Mesocyclops thermocyclopoides. The predatory rotifer Asplanchna intermedia, which is itself a potential prey of the copepod, also feeds preferentially on brachionids. We studied in the laboratory the population dynamics of two mutually competing prey species, Brachionus angularis and B. calyciflorus, in the presence of the two predators A. intermedia and M. thermocyclopoides. The experimental design included separate population dynamics studies with one prey–one predator, two prey–one predator, one prey–two predator, and two prey–two predator systems. These combinations were compared with controls, in which both the prey species (B. angularis and B. calyciflorus) were grown separately and in combination with each other. In the absence of any predator, B. angularis generally eliminated the larger B. calyciflorus. Selective predation by the copepod allowed B. calyciflorus to persist longer in competition with B. angularis. Feeding by M. thermocyclopoides on A. intermedia reduced the predation pressure on B. calyciflorus. However, given enough time, the cyclopoid copepod was able to eliminate both the brachionids as well as the predatory Asplanchna.     

食物种类和浓度对红臂尾轮虫种群增长、个体大小及卵大小的影响

采用群体累积培养法,研究了藻类食物的种类和浓度对红臂尾轮虫种群增长、个体大小及卵大小的影响．结果表明,藻种类和浓度对红臂尾轮虫种群增长率、个体体积及卵体积均有极显著影响．不同食堕种空中,种群增长率以小球藻组最小,栅藻组最大;个体体积以小球藻组最小,栅藻组和混合藻组问无显著差异．种群增长率(Y,d^-1)与食物浓度(X,×10^6cells·ml^-1)间呈曲线相关,两者间的关系符合方程：y＝-0．0040x^2+0．0409X+0．4471。在所研究的食物浓度范围内,当浓度分别高于或低于6．0×10^cells·m1^-1和3．0×10^6cells·ml^-1时,轮虫个体体积和卵体积均分别呈减小的趋势。     

High density culture of the freshwater rotifer,Brachionus calyciflorus

The freshwater rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus is one of the live food organisms used for the mass production of larval fish. In this study possibility of obtaining high density cultures of the freshwater rotifer B. calyciflorus were investigated. The two culture systems used differed in their air and dissolved oxygen supplies using three temperatures in each case: 24, 28 and 32 °C. Rotifers were batch-cultured using 5 l-vessels and fed with the freshwater Chlorella. The growth rate of rotifers significantly increased with an increase in temperature. The maximum density of the rotifers with air-supply at 24 °C, 6500 ind. ml^–1, was significantly lower than those cultured at 28 and 32 °C, i.e. 8600 and 8100 ind. ml^–1, respectively. Dissolved oxygen levels decreased with time and ranged from 0.8 to 1.4 mg l^–1 when the density of freshwater rotifer was the highest at each temperature. The highest density (19200 ind. ml^–1) of freshwater rotifer was obtained in cultures with a supply of oxygen at 28 °C. Densities of 13500 and 17200 ind. ml^–1 were found at 24 and 32 °C, respectively. Levels of NH₃-N increased with time and a dramatic increase of NH₃-N was observed at high temperatures. Levels of NH₃-N at 24, 28 and 32 °C were 13.2, 18.5 and 24.5 mg l^–1, respectively. These levels coincided with the highest rotifer density at each of the three temperatures. When rotifers were cultured with an oxygen-supply and pH was adjusted to 7, the maximum density of rotifer reached 33500 ind. ml^–1 at 32 °C . These results suggested that high density culture of freshwater rotifer, B. calyciflorus could be achieved under optimal conditions with DO value of exceeding 5 mg l^–1 and NH₃-N values of lower than 12.0 mg l^–1.     

Influence of the filamentous cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii on population growth and reproductive pattern of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus

The population dynamics of B. calyciflorus was investigated using a green alga, Monoraphidium minutum, and a blue-green alga Planktothrix agardhii as food sources, separately and as mixtures. Growth rate (r), egg ratio (ER), and juvenile development time (D _j ) were measured in the laboratory and mortality rate and embryonic development time (D _E ) were calculated. With M. minutum, Brachionus showed a typical growth curve (Monod-kinetics) dependent on food concentration. In contrast B. calyciflorus did not grow well on P. agardhii. With all food concentrations the measured growth rates were about r=0. At low food concentrations r was low with both food types, but the ER of B. calyciflorus was significantly higher with P. agardhii as food source. Furthermore the relative egg volume of females carrying one egg was higher with Planktothrix than with Monoraphidium. An addition of P. agardhii to M. minutum led to increasing growth rates. Highest growth rates were found with complementary food sources. High food concentrations of M. minutum shortened the juvenile development (D _J ) time, but D _j was uneffected by different P. agardhii food concentrations. A mixture of both algae did not shorten D _j compared with M. minutum as single food. The calculated D _E was not effected by different food qualities but the calculated mortality was nearly 3 times higher with P. agardhii as food.     

萼花臂尾轮虫有性生殖、种群增长和休眠卵产量间的关系

利用种群指数增长和Logistic增长模型,通过计算机模拟研究了萼花臂尾轮虫有性生殖发生的频率,后代中的混交雌体发率对种群增长和休眠卵产量的影响。在所模拟的参数范围内,随有性生殖发生频率由100％减小到20％,获得了大休眠卵产量所需的混交雌体百分率由9％增大到69％,随密度制约作用的增大（环境容纳量K值由1000减小到100）,该混交雌体百分率由18％增大到69％,休眠卵产量由1072．10降低至133．67,种群的内禀增长率与获得最大休眠卵产量所需的混交雌体百分率间呈曲线相关。当有性生殖发生得越频繁,种群增长所受的密度制约作用较小时,后代中10％－30％的个体为混交雌体时的种群中休眠卵产量较大。

Effects of food quality on life history of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas

1. Herbivorous zooplankton face considerable temporal and spatial variation in food quality, to which they respond by adapting their life histories. Zooplankton may even take up mineral nutrients directly, and use these to counter the effects of algal nutrient limitation (mineral compensation). This study examined the life history of the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus fed phosphorus‐, and nitrogen‐limited Scenedesmus obliquus (Chlorophyta), and investigated whether B. calyciflorus was capable of mineral compensation. 2. Both phosphorus‐ and nitrogen‐limited algae gave similar life history responses: somatic growth and reproduction were reduced, whereas lifespan remained unaffected. 3. No evidence was found for mineral compensation in B. calyciflorus in relation to detrimental life history effects, so mineral compensation does not seem to be relevant for this species under field conditions. 4. The similarity in life history responses of B. calyciflorus and the low levels of ω‐3 PUFAs in both phosphorus‐ and nitrogen‐depleted algae suggest that ω‐3 PUFAs were limiting to B. calyciflorus, although other (bio)chemicals or mineral nutrients may also have been important. 5. No trade‐off was observed between life span and reproduction during algal nutrient limitation. Reduced population growth rates of B. calyciflorus were caused by shorter reproductive periods.     

Effects of three organophosphorus pesticides on population growth and sexual reproduction of rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus Pallas

Effects of organophosphorus pesticides including dichlorvos, triazophos and chlorpyrifos on population growth and sexual reproduction of freshwater rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus were studied by 3-d population growth and 4-d resting egg production tests. The results showed that all the three organophosphorus pesticides influenced significantly the population growth rate, the ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females in the rotifer populations and the resting egg production of the rotifers. Both dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos influenced markedly the mictic rate of the rotifers, but triazophos did not. Compared to the controls, both dichlorvos at 10.0–1000.0 μg/L and chlorpyrifos at 0.01–100.0 μg/L increased the population growth rate, but the reverse was also true for dichlorvos and triazophos both at 10000.0 μg/L. Chlorpyrifos at 10000.0 μg/L made the rotifers dead after 24-hr exposure. Dichlorvos and triazophos both at 10000.0 μg/L, and chlorpyrifos at 1000.0 μg/L all increased the ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females. Both dichlorvos at 10000.0 μg/L and chlorpyrifos at 0.1–100.0 μg/L increased the mictic rate. Dichlorvos at 10.0 μg/L and 100.0 μg/L, and triazophos and chlorpyrifos both at 0.1–100.0 μg/L increased the resting egg production. Both population growth rate and ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females are suitable endpoints for assessing the effects of dichlorvos, triazophos and chlorpyrifos, and mictic rate is a suitable endpoint for monitoring the effects of dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos on the reproduction of the rotifers. Both population growth rate and ratio ovigerous females/non-ovigerous females are more sensitive to dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos than mictic rate.     

Effect of incubation and preservation on resting egg hatching and mixis in the derived clones of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis

The marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis typicus (Clone 8105A, Univ. of Tokyo) was cultured in 500 ml beakers to form resting eggs. Tetraselmis tetrathele was used as a culture food. Just after formation, resting eggs were exposed to various temperature (5–25 °C) and light regimes (24L: OD and OL : 24D). When eggs were exposed to light just after formation, the eggs hatched sporadically over a month. No hatching was observed for six months when eggs were preserved under dark conditions regardless of the temperature. These eggs hatched simultaneously after being exposed to light and eggs preserved at 5 °C showed twice as high hatching rate (40%) as that of eggs preserved at 15–25 °C (24%). Clones from resting eggs that were kept under different temperature and light regimes were reared individually to the third generation. Incubation at 25 °C with lighting produced the highest (5.4% and 5.2 %) rate of mictic females during their 2nd and 3rd generations, respectively. The lowest rates (0 and 1.5%) were found when the eggs were kept at 5 °C in total darkness for six months. A lower rate of amictic female production was found in clones with higher rates of mixis.
