基于胃含物和碳、氮稳定同位素研究浙江南部近海蓝圆鲹的摄食生态

蓝圆鲹是浙江南部近海的重要经济鱼类。本文根据2020年5月、8月、11月和2021年1月在浙江南部近海进行的底拖网调查,应用胃含物分析和碳氮稳定同位素分析对浙江南部近海蓝圆鲹的摄食习性进行研究。结果表明: 浙江南部近海蓝圆鲹δ¹³C平均值为(-16.55±0.60)‰,范围为-17.76‰～-15.25‰,与叉长呈显著负相关;蓝圆鲹δ¹⁵N平均值为(11.76±0.88)‰,范围为9.06‰～13.03‰,与叉长呈显著正相关。根据δ¹⁵N值计算浙江南部近海蓝圆鲹的平均营养级为3.89±0.26。胃含物分析表明,浙江南部近海蓝圆鲹的主要饵料类群为鱼类、虾类、蟹类、头足类、多毛类和小型甲壳类。稳定同位素分析表明,虾类对浙江南部近海蓝圆鲹的营养贡献率最高(40%～84%),其次为多毛类、小型甲壳类、蟹类、头足类和鱼类。蓝圆鲹的摄食习性有明显的生长变化,随着蓝圆鲹叉长的增加,其倾向于摄食更高营养级的饵料生物。     

基于胃含物和稳定同位素研究海州湾长蛇鲻的摄食习性

长蛇鲻(Saurida elongate)为温水性近海底栖鱼类,是目前海州湾的优势鱼种之一,在海州湾食物网中占据重要地位。本研究基于海州湾底拖网调查采集的样品,结合胃含物分析和碳、氮稳定同位素技术,分析了长蛇鲻的摄食习性。结果表明: 海州湾长蛇鲻摄食的主要饵料生物为戴氏赤虾、枪乌贼、长丝虾虎鱼、鳀、六丝钝尾虾虎鱼、细条天竺鲷、尖海龙和绯鱼衔。其δ¹³C值范围在-19.39‰～-16.23‰之间,平均值为(-18.01±0.85)‰,与体长无显著相关性;δ¹⁵N值范围在9.56‰～13.36‰之间,平均值为(11.77±0.86)‰,与体长呈显著正相关。长蛇鲻不同体长组的饵料生物贡献度差异较大,随着体长增加,其捕食能力增强、摄食器官逐渐完善、摄食饵料生物的比例发生变化,可能是导致其摄食习性随体长变化的主要原因。本研究有助于深入了解海州湾长蛇鲻的摄食生态,为海州湾食物网营养动力学研究提供了基础资料。     

北部湾宝刀鱼的摄食生态

根据2008年10月至2009年9月的北部湾主要渔港逐月采样以及 2010年2月北部湾海域的拖网调查资料,以传统胃含物分析方法为基础,结合碳、氮稳定同位素技术对北部湾宝刀鱼(Chirocentrus dorab)的饵料组成、营养级和摄食习性随叉长和性腺发育的个体变化等进行研究。结果表明:宝刀鱼既摄食小型中上层鱼类,又摄食底栖鱼类、虾蟹类和头足类,属于广食性动物食性鱼类。以相对重要性指数百分比(%IRI)为指标,表明鱼类为其最主要饵料(99.7%),其中优势饵料生物为犀鳕属(Bregmaceros sp.)、小公鱼属(Thryssa sp.)、小沙丁鱼属(Sardinella sp.)和圆鲹属(Decapterus sp.)等。宝刀鱼摄食强度和饱满指数的月份差异十分显著(P<0.001), 而以Brillouin指数表征的各月份营养多样性则无显著差异。雌性性腺成熟度指数(GSI)显示北部湾宝刀鱼1年中呈现1个产卵高峰期(5-8月),与北部湾中上层水温高峰趋势相符,表明宝刀鱼产卵高峰与水温密切相关,且产卵期间摄食强度没有降低。随着叉长的增长,北部湾宝刀鱼饵料生物个数变化较小,但平均单个饵料生物重量却明显增加。聚类分析表明, 北部湾宝刀鱼以相似性系数可划分为380mm以下、381-530mm以及530mm以上3个不同食性叉长组。以δ¹⁵N计算所得宝刀鱼各叉长组的平均营养级为3.4。     

长江口和杭州湾凤鲚胃含物与海洋浮游动物的种类组成比较

2009年6月—8月期间在长江口及杭州湾水域收集了1355尾的凤鲚（Coilia mystus）标本,对其胃含物进行分析,期间采用出现频率（F）、个数百分比（N）、重量百分比（W）、相对重要性指标（IRI）、优势度（Y）公式计算,并进行种类的相似性分析,同步采集了取样点附近的浮游动物,比较了凤鲚胃含物食谱与该海域浮游动物种类组成。结果表明：河口性的长额刺糠虾IRI 为703.25,%IRI为62.94%,远远超过其他种类,甚至超过任何一个桡足类优势种,因而是凤鲚食谱中的最重要的种类。凤鲚摄食的其他主要种类包括：火腿许水蚤（Schmackeria poplesia）（IRI = 261.04）,虫肢歪水蚤（Tortanus vermiculus）（IRI = 107.53）、真刺唇角水蚤（Labidocera euchaeta）（IRI = 27.27）。以上四种浮游动物重要性合计%IRI为98.36%。在主要食物种类占绝对优势。因而是凤鲚饵料中最重要的优势种。种类组成相似性分析结果显示：胃含物和海域浮游动物之间的相似度值大致在0.363—0.365之间;而两者桡足类之间的相似值在0.521—0.575之间。推测凤鲚对个体较小的桡足类摄食方法是过滤性摄食,对种类的选择性较低。而对个体较大的糠虾则是有选择性追逐摄食。

Description and ontogeny of young Stolephorus baganensis and Thryssa kammalensis, two Engraulididae from Peninsular Malaysia

The morphology of the digestive system was useful to distinguish the larvae of Stolephorus baganensis and Thryssa kammalensis before the full development of their dorsal and anal fins. The relative positions of these fins, the length of the anal fin, and body depth, were good criteria for identifying individuals >10·0 mm L _S. For both species, the relative growth of the ten morphometric characters studied was best explained by linear piecewise regressions indicating inflection in allometry at specific standard lengths. Most of these sudden changes in growth rate occurred between 6·9 and 10·0 mm L S for S. baganensis and between 5·8 and 8·9 mm L S for T. kammalensis . Double-centred principal component analysis (PCA) confirmed important changes in the external morphology of both species during this transition period. Prior to this period, the main parameters characterizing the global morphological changes of both species were the length and position of dorsal and anal fins whereas they were body depth and eye diameter (only in S. baganensis ) for larger specimens. Complete development of scales did not appear as a suitable criterion to define the end of the larval period, which, instead, was set at the size at which larvae presented an adult-like pigmentation (respectively 35·0 mm L S and 55·0 mm L S in S. baganensis and T. kammalensis ).     

Variation in food intake, food conversion efficiency and growth of juvenile turbot from different geographic strains

Food conversion efficiency and growth of juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maximus , reared under temperatures of 14, 18 and 22° C, were found to be higher in one experiment (7–70 g fish) in a higher latitude (Norway) strain than lower latitude (France and Scotland) strains. In a second study (20–150 g fish), food intake, food conversion efficiency and growth were higher in higher latitude (Iceland and Norway) compared with a lower latitude (France) strain.     

Countergradient variation in growth and food conversion efficiency of juvenile turbot

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.     

The effects of food consumption rate, body size and temperature on net food conversion efficiency in saithe and whiting

Net food conversion efficiency κ was estimated from growth experiments on saithe Pollachius virens and whiting Merlangius merlangus that were fed natural prey at a range of ration levels including satiation rations. The conversion efficiency, which specifies the net energy fraction of ingested energy C , was described appropriately by a simple power function of food consumption rate as κ  = 0·272 C ^0·18 and κ  = 0·426 C ^0·11 for saithe and whiting. This functional relationship was supported by the patterns of accretion of lipids and proteins in saithe. No significant effects of temperature and body size on κ was, however, demonstrated in this study except for the indirect influence using feeding levels (rations expressed relatively to satiation rations) in bioenergetics models.     

Geographic variation in growth and food conversion efficiency of juvenile Atlantic halibut related to latitude

Higher growth capacity and food conversion efficiency was observed in populations of juvenile halibut from high Hippoglossus hippoglossus compared lower latitudes. In addition, temperature adaptation shown by the lower temperature optimum for growth in the Norwegian population (mean±S.E. 12·9±0·10 C) compared with the Icelandic and Canadian populations (14·2±0·2 and 13·9±0±30 C respectively), seems to occur. Overall the data support the hypothesis of countergradient variation in growth. These results have implications firstly for selection focusing on growth performance in halibut culture; and secondly, for safe prediction of growth, since if countergradient variation in growth performance occurs one cannot assume automatically that a species will respond to the same set of physiological parameters in the same way throughout its range.     

Food consumption by fish populations in the Warta River,Poland, before and after impoundment

The impact of impoundment on the energy budget and gross ecological efficiency (K ₁) of fish populations in sites upstream from the backwater (AB) and downstream of the dam (CD) of a manmade reservoir (17.6 km²) located in the middle reaches of the lowland Warta River (808 km long), was investigated.Consumption (MJ ha^–1 yr^-1) in four years following the reservoir's impoundment was 34–74% lower in site AB, and 43–75% in site CD than before the impoundment. K ₁ of investigated species was higher before the impoundment and only pike exhibited an inverse efficiency trend. Significant differences were also observed in the diet of certain dominant fish species, which resulted from a change in the food supply as well as a reduction in their life span after the river was dammed.     

Effect of ration size on growth and gross conversion efficiency of young lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris

Young lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris , were kept under controlled conditions in an aquarium and fed blue runner, Caranx crysos , at different ration levels. The relationship between feeding rate and growth rate was best described by a von Bertalanffy growth curve, which predicted a maximum growth rate of 140 kJ kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ (0·66% b.w. day⁻¹), a maintenance ration of 199 kJ kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ (1·06% b.w. day⁻¹), and losses due to starvation of -236kJ kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ (1·11% b.w. day⁻¹). The relationship between gross conversion efficiency ( K ₁) and feeding rate was also examined. K₁ ranged from - 64 to 25% and did not drop at high ration levels. Activity levels of both starved sharks and sharks fed at maintenance were not significantly different (0·2 body lengths s⁻¹). K ₁ values generated from both laboratory and field data suggest that young lemon sharks can convert food to new tissue as efficiently as teleosts.

利用水蚯蚓与人工饲料分别投喂7月龄中华鲟(Acipenser sinensis)幼鱼,研究不同饵料对中华鲟幼鱼转化效率与生长特性的影响.结果表明:经过60 d生长,水蚯蚓组、人工饲料组中华鲟幼鱼的平均体长分别从177.0、191.6 mm增至216.6、332.5 mm,体质量分别从32.73、44.39 g增至58.27、264.71 g;水蚯蚓组、人工饲料组中华鲟幼鱼的饵料转化率分别为6.67～39.33、0.89～1.26,特定生长率分别为0.19%～2.33%、1.38%～3.94%.生长效率分别为2.54%～14.99%、79.56%～204.44%;人工饲料组中华鲟幼鱼的生长速度快于水蚯蚓组,肥满度大于水蚯蚓组;2个试验组中华鲟幼鱼的体长与体质量均呈幂函数关系,各阶段幂指数b值均小于3,表明中华鲟幼鱼为异速生长;水蚯蚓组中华鲟幼鱼肌肉的水分湿质量含量为82.23%±0.79%,蛋白干质量含量为62.79%±1.34%,均略比人工饲料组高;综合饵料转化效率与各项生长指标,表明人工饲料比水蚯蚓更适宜作为中华鲟幼鱼阶段的人工养殖饵料.     

Food consumption and growth of two piscivorous fishes, the mandarin fish and the Chinese snakehead

Rates of maximum food consumption and growth were determined for immature mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi (47·2—540·2 g) and Chinese snakehead Channa argus (45·0—546·2 g) at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35) C. The relationship between maximum rate of food consumption ( C max), body weight ( W ) and temperature ( T ) was described by the multiple regression equations: In C max=−4·880+0·597 In W +0·284 T −0·0048 T ² for the mandarin fish, and In C max=−6·718+ 0·522 In W +0·440 T −0·0077 T ² for the Chinese snakehead. The optimum temperature for consumption was 29·6) C for the mandarin fish and 28·6) C for the Chinese snakehead. The relationship between growth rate ( G ), body weight and temperature was ln( G +0·25)=−0·439−0·500 ln W +0·270 T −0·0046 T ² for the mandarin fish, and ln( G +0·25)=−6·150+ (0·175−0·026 T ) ln W +0·571 T −0·0078 T ² for the Chinese snakehead. The weight exponent in the growth–weight relationship was −0·83 for the mandarin fish, but decreased with increasing temperature for the Chinese snakehead. The optimum temperature for growth was 29·3) C for the mandarin fish, but tended to decrease with increasing weight for the Chinese snakehead, being 30·3) C for a 45-g fish, and 26·1°C for a 550-g fish.
