厚颌鲂和圆口铜鱼耗氧率与窒息点的测定

用封闭静水式装置测定了体重2.3-4.7g厚颌鲂幼鱼的耗氧率和窒息点,用封闭静水式和封闭流水式装置测定了体重9.9-55.1g圆口铜鱼的耗氧率和窒息点。结果表明:在15-27℃条件下,厚颌鲂的耗氧率随着温度的升高而升高,耗氧率与水温呈线性关系;在水温24.8℃时厚颌鲂的窒息点为(0.91±0.08)mg/L。在水温23-27℃、封闭静水实验条件下,圆口铜鱼的耗氧率随体重增加而降低,两者呈指数关系;圆口铜鱼耗氧率昼夜变化明显,夜间耗氧率大于白天,推测圆口铜鱼夜间活动较多。在水温24.5-26.0℃条件下,体重21.8-46.3g圆口铜鱼的窒息点变幅较小,平均(1.14±0.23)mg/L。研究表明两种鱼都为耗氧率和窒息点较高的鱼类。       

珠江下游广东鲂体长-体重关系和肥满度的年间变化北大核心CSCD

本研究通过对2010至2018年珠江下游肇庆江段广东鲂(Megalobrama terminalis)的生物资料调查,探究了其体长-体重关系以及肥满度及年龄结构年间变化趋势。结果表明,2010至2018年珠江下游肇庆段广东鲂种群的体长及5+龄以上个体占比率总体呈现下降趋势。2010至2018年珠江下游广东鲂种群体长-体重幂函数相关的条件因子a为0.011~0.004,异速生长因子b为2.816~3.261。广东鲂种群在2010、2011和2014年呈现负异速生长,而在2013及2015至2018年份表现出正异速生长。2010至2018年珠江下游广东鲂种群肥满度总体呈现出上升趋势。此外,2010至2018年珠江下游肇庆段日平均水温20℃以上天数占比率呈现逐渐上升趋势,而洪峰数量减少且相对集中。本研究发现广东鲂异速生长因子与日平均水温和径流量呈现一定线性正相关关系,揭示栖息地环境与广东鲂生长潜在的关联性。持续的高捕捞压力加快了广东鲂种群生长速度,并导致了该种群负异速生长。珠江禁渔期制度实施及其栖息地水温变化,可能是珠江下游广东鲂种群肥满度逐渐升高的原因。     

军曹鱼(Rachycentron canadum)早期发育阶段的摄食及其影响因子*

研究了军曹鱼(Rachycentron canadum)仔、稚鱼的日摄食节律和摄食强度,以及饵料密度、温度、盐度对其摄食的影响。结果表明,发育8d仔鱼(摄食轮虫)、23d稚鱼(摄食卤虫无节幼体)和38d稚鱼(摄食鳗鱼粉状饵料)均表现为明显的昼夜摄食节律,摄食主要在白天进行,白天摄食强度占日摄食强度的68%以上;在白天的摄食中,又以早晨6:00-8:00和傍晚16:00-18:00摄食强度最大:夜间摄食较少或基本不摄食,所以军曹鱼早期幼体的摄食习性属白天摄食且偏于晨昏性类型。在不同饵料密度梯度的试验中,发育8d-11d仔鱼和23d-26d稚鱼摄食的适宜饵料密度范围分别为15ind·mL^-1-20ind·mL^-1和7ind·mL^-1-2ind·mL^-1。温度和盐度对发育21d-24d稚鱼日摄食强度的影响均表现为抛物线型的变化曲线,摄食的适宜水温范围为27-31℃,适宜盐度范围为28‰-32‰。结果还表明,幼休摄食强度与饵料密度、水温、盐度的关系均适合于用二次多项式来定量描述。

摄食声对草鱼幼鱼的诱集作用

以草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)幼鱼为实验对象,进行了声音播放实验,旨在探究草鱼幼鱼对水下录制的草鱼摄食浮萍声音(简称摄食声)的行为反应。以不播放声音的草鱼鱼群作为对照,探讨了4种单频音(500、1000、2000和3000 Hz)和摄食声对草鱼游泳行为和在水槽内的分布的影响。结果表明:在播放单频音时, 3min内草鱼的趋音游泳速度和逗留时间与对照组无显著性差异(P>0.05);在播放摄食声时, 3min内草鱼的趋音游泳速度和逗留时间显著高于4种单频音组和对照组(P<0.05);在播放单频音时, 20min内草鱼的平均游泳速度、水槽内的分布和趋音率与对照组无显著性差异(P>0.05);在播放摄食声时, 20min内草鱼的平均游泳速度和趋音率都显著高于4种单频音组和对照组(P<0.05)。草鱼摄食声对草鱼幼鱼有诱集作用,为声音诱鱼技术研究提供了科学依据。     

树鼩(Tupaia glis)在恒定光照条件下的近似昼夜运动性活动节律

根据“Aschoff rule”,昼行性动物近似昼夜节律周期的长度和光照强度呈负相关,活动时间与休息时间的比率以及活动量均与光照强度呈正相关。而夜行性动物的情况则相反(比宁,1964;Aschoff,1959,1960;Sollberger,1965)。这在爬行动物、鱼、鸟以及夜间活动的哺乳类已得到了肯定的证实,但对一些白天活动的哺乳类还不清楚。到目前为止,检查了7种白天活动的灵长类动物均不符合这条规律(Tokura et al.,1978,1979,1980)。

基于单位补充量模型的西江广东鲂种群资源利用现状评价

广东鲂(Megalobrama terminalis)是珠江中下游最重要的经济鱼类之一, 但由于过度捕捞和栖息地破坏, 资源日趋衰退, 科学评估其资源利用现状, 对合理开发与科学养护具有重要意义。利用2009—2015年西江肇庆江段渔业资源调查监测数据, 分析了广东鲂生长与死亡相关特征及参数变化; 利用单位补充量渔获量(Yield per recruitment, YPR)模型、单位补充量产卵群体生物量(Spawning biomass per recruitment, SBR)和生物学参考点评估了西江肇庆江段广东鲂资源利用状况。结果表明: 西江广东鲂体长(L)和体重(W)关系为W=1.518×10–5L3.051(R2=0.962, n=2252), 生长方程为L_t=419.989[1–e–0.225(t+0.172)]; 现有捕捞强度(F平均1.27/年)远超过种群开发可承受水平(F_40%=0.53, F_0.1=0.27, F_20%=0.94); YPR_ave=30.58 g, 远低于YPR_0.1(36.73 g)和YPR_max(45.89 g); SBR=11.5%, 低于20%的下限临界参考点。西江广东鲂种群资源已过度开发, 处于补充型捕捞过度和生长型捕捞过度状态。目前珠江禁渔期制度的实施对广东鲂资源补充起到了良好作用, 但提高开捕体长至250 mm资源恢复效果将更明显。

Ontogeny of Acoustic and Feeding Behaviour in the Grey Gurnard, Eutrigla gurnardus

Although sound production in teleost fish is often associated with territorial behaviour, little is known of fish acoustic behaviour in other agonistic contexts such as competitive feeding and how it changes during ontogeny. The grey gurnard, Eutrigla gurnardus, frequently emits knock and grunt sounds during competitive feeding and seems to adopt both contest and scramble tactics under defensible resource conditions. Here we examine, for the first time, the effect of fish size on sound production and agonistic behaviour during competitive feeding. We have made sound (alone) and video (synchronized image and sound) recordings of grey gurnards during competitive feeding interactions. Experimental fish ranged from small juveniles to large adults and were grouped in four size classes: 10–15, 15–20, 25–30 and 30–40 cm in total length. We show that, in this species, both sound production and feeding behaviour change with fish size. Sound production rate decreased in larger fish. Sound duration, pulse duration and the number of pulses increased whereas the peak frequency decreased with fish size, in both sound types (knocks and grunts). Interaction rate and the frequency of agonistic behaviour decreased with increasing fish size during competitive feeding sessions. The proportion of feeding interactions accompanied by sound production was similar in all size classes. However, the proportion of interactions accompanied by knocks (less aggressive sounds) and by grunts (more aggressive) increased and decreased with fish size, respectively. Taken together, these results suggest that smaller grey gurnards compete for food by contest tactics whereas larger specimens predominantly scramble for food, probably because body size gives an advantage in locating, capturing and handling prey. We further suggest that sounds emitted during feeding may potentially give information on the motivation and ability of the individual to compete for food resources.     

Sound production during competitive feeding in the grey gurnard

The acoustic repertoire of captive grey gurnard Eutrigla gurnardus during competitive feeding consisted of three types of sound: knocks, grunts and growls. Knocks were audible as a single sound, whereas grunts and growls were perceived as longer, pulsed sounds to the human ear. Typically, knocks were composed of 1–2 pulses, grunts of 4–8 pulses and growls >10 pulses. Growls were longer and had shorter pulse periods than grunts. All sound types had peak frequencies of c . 500 Hz. The sequences of behaviours observed during feeding interactions suggest that grey gurnard obtain food both by scramble and contest tactics. Competing fish emitted knocks mainly while grasping a food item and also during other non‐agonistic behaviour, suggesting that knock production may reflect a state of feeding arousal but could also serve as a warning of the forager's presence to nearby competitors. Grunts were mainly emitted during frontal displays, which were the most frequent behavioural act preceding grasps, suggesting that they may play a role in deterring other fish from gaining access to disputed food items.     

Acoustic signalling in female fish: factors influencing sound characteristics in croaking gouramis

The characteristics of sounds produced by fishes are influenced by several factors such as size. The current study analyses factors affecting structural properties of acoustic signals produced by female croaking gouramis Trichopsis vittata during agonistic interactions. Female sounds (although seldom analysed separately from male sounds) can equally be used to investigate factors affecting the sound characteristics in fish. Sound structure, dominant frequency and sound pressure levels (SPL) were determined and correlated to body size and the order in which sounds were emitted. Croaking sounds consisted of series of single-pulsed or double-pulsed bursts, each burst produced by one pectoral fin. Main energies were concentrated between 1.3 and 1.5 kHz. The dominant frequency decreased with size, as did the percentage of single-pulsed bursts within croaking sounds. The SPL and the number of bursts within a sound were independent of size but decreased significantly with the order of their production. Thus, acoustic signals produced at the beginning of agonistic interactions were louder and consisted of more bursts than subsequent ones. Our data indicate that body size affects the dominant frequency and structure of sounds. The increase in the percentage of double-pulsed bursts with size may be due to stronger pectoral muscles in larger fish. In contrast, ongoing fights apparently result in muscle fatigue and subsequently in a decline in the number of bursts and SPL. The factor ‘order of sound production’ points to an intra-individual variability of sounds and should be considered in future studies.     

Acoustic characteristics and variations in grunt vocalizations in the oyster toadfish <Emphasis Type="Italic">Opsanus tau</Emphasis>

Acoustic communication is critical for reproductive success in the oyster toadfish Opsanus tau. While previous studies have examined the acoustic characteristics, behavioral context, geographical variation, and seasonality of advertisement boatwhistle sound production, there is limited information on the grunt or other non-advertisement vocalizations in this species. This study continuously monitored sound production in toadfish maintained in an outdoor habitat for four months to identify and characterize grunt vocalizations, compare them with boatwhistles, and test for relationships between the incidence of grunt vocalizations, sound characteristics and environmental parameters. Oyster toadfish produced grunts in response to handling, and spontaneous single (70% of all grunts), doublet (10%), and trains of grunts (20%) throughout the May to September study period. Grunt types varied in pulse structure, duration, and frequency components, and were shorter and of lower fundamental frequency than the pulse repetition rate of boatwhistles. Higher water temperatures were correlated with a greater number of grunt emissions, higher fundamental frequencies, and shorter sound durations. The number of grunts per day was also positively correlated with daylength and maximum tidal amplitude differences (previously entrained) associated with full and new moons, thus providing the first demonstration of semilunar vocalization rhythms in the oyster toadfish. These data provide new information on the acoustic repertoire and the environmental factors correlated with sound production in the toadfish, and have important implications for seasonal acoustic communication in this model vocal fish.     

Acoustic signaling in fish

The paper lists basic data on the role of sounds in fish behavior. The involvement of acoustic signaling in the control of reproductive, territorial, agonistic, aggressive, social, and feeding behavior in fish that differ in the systematics and mode of life is considered. Species and population specifics and individual sound variation in fish, diurnal and seasonal cyclicity of sound activity, and behavior that accompany acoustic signaling and the effects upon it of different environmental factors are considered. Evidence on the formation of acoustic signaling in ontogenesis of fish is provided; the range of sound signaling and correspondence between sound spectra and auditory sensitivity are discussed. Possible applied aspects of results of study of fish bioacoustics are analyzed.     

Sound production by the gudgeon, Gobio gobio L., a common European freshwater fish (Cyprinidae, Teleostei)

Acoustic signals emitted by the gudgeon are described and the context of sound production is considered.
In aquaria, gudgeons produce creaking sounds of differing duration, which are always built up of single bursts. Each burst is composed of a series of rapidly repeated short pulses. Vocalization is correlated with the level of activity: it increases at higher temperatures and decreases when fish are disturbed. After acclimatization to the aquarium, fish which formerly showed a diurnal pattern of activity became active at all times of the day and night. Gudgeon called as a reaction to digging by other members of the group and a variety of disturbances, the latter including being touched or hindered by a conspecific or being frightened by the sudden movement of another fish. The fact that only certain interactions in a gudgeon shoal are accompanied by sound production is discussed.     

Ontogenesis of agonistic vocalizations in the cichlid fish Metriaclima zebra

While acoustic communication has been described in adults of various fish species, our knowledge about the ontogeny of fish sound production is limited. In adults, sound signals are known to be involved during aggressive interactions. However, aggressive behaviour may appear early in the life of fishes due to the possible competition for food and space. If acoustic signals are used to send information to competitors, sounds are likely to play a role during interactions between juvenile fish as well. The apparition and evolution of sound production were monitored in a group of juveniles of the cichlid fish Metriaclima zebra from hatching to 4months of age. In addition, the link between vocalizations and agonistic behaviour was studied during dyadic interactions at three different ages. Sounds production appeared to be present early in the development of this fish and increased along with the number of aggressive behaviours. Recorded sounds consisted, in juveniles, in isolated pulses showing a decrease in frequency and duration as the fish grew. In adults, sounds became bursts of pulses but the transition from isolated to repetitive pulses was not observed. These results are compared to the existing literature on sound production ontogeny in fishes.     

Acoustic communication in an electric fish,Pollimyrus isidori (Mormyridae)

It has been known since von Frisch's work in the 1930's that mormyrid electric fishes are quite sensitive to sound. We now describe a repertoire of natural sounds produced by the mormyrid, Pollimyrus isidori, during breeding and aggression; reception of communication sounds is probably a major function for mormyrid audition. In aquaria, Pollimyrus isidori produce 'grunts', 'moans', 'growls', 'pops' and 'hoots' at various phases during nesting, courtship, and territory defense. All five sounds are produced primarily at night. Territorial males produce grunts, moans and growls during courtship. Vocalizing is stimulated by the presence of a gravid female on the male's territory and decreases with the onset of spawning. Hoots and pops are given during agonistic behavior. Grunts are bursts of acoustic pulses, stereotyped for an individual, with the potential as individual signatures. The electric organ is silent during grunts and moans and is discharged at a reduced rate during growls. The courtship and spawning of Pollimyrus isidori is described.     

Sound-producing mechanisms and recordings in<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Carapini</Emphasis> species (Teleostei,Pisces)

Carapus boraborensis, C. homei and Encheliophis gracilis are three species of Carapidae that display the ability to penetrate and reside in the holothurian Bohadschia argus. This study describes both the particular morphology of the sound-producing structures and, for the first time, the sounds produced by each species. The study of the structures composing the sound-producing system seems to indicate that the action made by the primary sonic muscles (i.e. the pulling and releasing of the front of the swim bladder) might be responsible for the sound emissions of these three species by provoking a vibration of a thinner zone in front of the swim bladder (swimbladder fenestra). The sounds were only emitted and recorded when several individuals of the same species were inside the same sea cucumber. They were composed of serially repeated knocks and were heard as drum beats or drum rolls. Their specific differences were mainly defined as variations in the timing or grouping of the knocking sounds. The recordings of these sound productions demonstrate a vocal ability for the three species, linked with the presence of particular organs associated with sound production. Moreover, the ecological significance of the sounds and of the sound apparatus system is discussed.     

Learned or innate production of acoustic signals in fishes: a test using a cyprinid

No information on the inheritance of the ability to produce sounds exists for fishes. In birds, which usually provide extensive post-hatching parental care, acoustic signals are learned in some species but are innate in others. Almost no fishes provide extensive post-hatching parental care and, consequently, the offspring have little opportunity to hear and learn sounds produced by the parents (usually the male in fishes); they may, however, be exposed to acoustic signals of conspecifics in the same habitat. We used a cyprinid, Codoma ornata, to test whether sound production is learned from the parents or whether it is innate. Fertilized eggs of this species were raised in isolation from adults. Upon maturity, these fish were tested for sound production in aggressive and reproductive contexts. Fish which had no contact with adults, and therefore no opportunity to hear the acoustic signals of their species, produced sounds that were similar to those produced by their parents, and they produced these in the same contexts. Significant differences were observed in dominant frequency for one context, with the smaller F₁ fish having signals of higher frequency than parental fish. Since no opportunity for learning existed, this provided evidence that the ability to produce sounds is innate in this minnow species.
