研究通过cDNA末端快速扩增法(RACE)克隆得到团头鲂生长抑制素(MSTN)基因的cDNA全长并分析了MSTN基因在团头鲂胚胎、成鱼组织中表达以及MSTN基因在胚胎中过表达情况。结果表明团头鲂MSTN基因的cDNA全长为2187 bp, ORF(开放阅读框)大小为1128 bp, 编码376个氨基酸。组织逆转录PCR (RT-PCR)结果显示, MSTN基因在肌肉、脑和精巢组织中大量表达, 肝脏、脾脏和卵巢组织中的少量表达, 肠、腮、心、眼和肾组织中的微量表达。胚胎逆转录PCR (RT-PCR)结果显示, 在0—44 hpf胚胎发育阶段, MSTN基因表达量较低; 而在48—52 hpf胚胎发育阶段, MSTN基因表达量逐渐升高。整胚原位杂交(WISH)结果显示, 胚胎发育的16 hpf时期MSTN基因主要在脊索中表达, 胚胎发育的28 hpf和55 hpf时期MSTN基因在脑中表达。MSTN基因过表达结果显示, 胚胎在体节发生期出现前-后轴拉长, 背-腹轴变短; 脊索发生扭曲, 强烈抑制体节发育而导致不分化等现象。研究为后续团头鲂MSTN基因的功能研究及团头鲂分子育种提供相关参考依据。     

白藜芦醇对高脂胁迫团头鲂抗氧化能力、非特异免疫机能和抗病力的影响

为探讨白藜芦醇（RSV）对高脂胁迫团头鲂特定生长率、抗氧化能力、非特异免疫机能和抗病力的影响,试验设计5组饲料:正常脂组（脂肪水平5%）、高脂组（脂肪水平11%）以及在高脂组中分别添加0.04%、0.36%、1.08% RSV。养殖试验持续10周,在采样结束后,进行嗜水气单胞菌攻毒试验,记录攻毒后96h的成活率。结果表明:团头鲂的特定生长率和日均采食量在添加1.08% RSV组出现最小值,并显著低于其他各组,且团头鲂的饲料效率表现出相似趋势。长期高脂饲喂可导致团头鲂血浆GSH含量显著下降,血浆MDA和NO含量显著升高,形成氧化应激。而长期氧化应激状态,可使团头鲂血浆溶菌酶活性和补体C3含量显著降低,肝脏中HSP70和HSP90应激调控基因表达上调,TNF-α炎症反应基因表达也上调。添加0.04% RSV组显著降低了血浆中SOD活性;添加0.36%和1.08% RSV组显著降低血浆MDA和NO含量,显著抑制了血浆SOD和CAT活性,且添加1.08% RSV组显著增加了鱼体血浆GSH含量。添加0.04%、0.36%和1.08% RSV组均显著提高了团头鲂血浆补体C3含量和溶菌酶活性,显著下调了高脂胁迫团头鲂肝脏中HSP70、HSP90与TNF-α mRNA的表达量。嗜水气单胞菌攻毒后团头鲂的成活率显著受到RSV的影响,并且在1.08% RSV添加组成活率最大。综上结果表明,团头鲂摄食高脂日粮之后,机体处于氧化应激状态,导致鱼体非特异免疫力和抗病力低下。而添加适宜剂量的RSV能够改善机体这种氧化应激的状态,提高鱼体的非特异免疫力和抗病力,其中以1.08%的添加量最优。     

2021-01期目录

为研究团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala) 5-甲基胞嘧啶(5-methylcytosine, 5mC)羟基化酶TET1(Ten eleven translocation 1)基因的功能及其表达特性, 采用整胚原位杂交、qRT-PCR技术进行了胚胎、组织表达分析及其在急性低氧胁迫下的基因响应研究。序列分析结果表明, 团头鲂TET1基因全长为5526 bp, 编码1841个氨基酸。qRT-PCR结果表明, 团头鲂TET1广泛表达于各个组织中, 并在脑组织中高度表达。在胚胎发育过程中, TET1基因从受精卵开始就有表达, 并在受精后20—44h (20—44 hpf)都维持在一个较高水平。原位杂交结果表明, TET1基因在12 hpf信号相对微弱, 在24和36 hpf信号逐渐增强, 并且都集中在头部表达。通过qRT-PCR检测急性缺氧处理TET1的表达量, 结果表明, TET1基因在鳃和脾等组织中表达显著升高(P<0.01), 在脑、皮肤、眼和肾脏中表达显著降低(P<0.01)。在胚胎中, TET1基因相对表达量明显高于对照组, 尤其在24 hpf低氧处理组的表达量显著地高于对照组(P<0.001)。结果表明TET1基因在低氧应答反应中发挥着重要的作用。该研究结果为TET1基因在低氧响应及功能的保守与分化方面提供了新的视角。     

High-fat diet induces aberrant hepatic lipid secretion in blunt snout bream by activating endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated IRE1/XBP1 pathway

This study was conducted to understand the effect of high-fat diet challenge on lipid transport and endoplasmic reticulum stress in blunt snout bream. Ninety fish (average weight: 41.84 ± 0.07 g) were randomly fed a control diet (6% fat) or a high-fat diet (11% fat) for 9 weeks. The growth performance and feed utilization efficiency were evaluated at the end of the trial. The liver samples of both groups were harvested for molecular analysis and histological evaluation. Compared to the Control group, the high-fat diet group showed no effects on either growth performance or energy intake in blunt snout bream. However, high-fat diet resulted in a massive accumulation of lipid and pathological structural alternations, and disrupted expression of lipid transport-related genes and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the liver of the fish. In vitro, after exposure of the isolated primary hepatocytes from blunt snout bream to oleic acid, the cells showed increased intracellular TG accumulation, decreased VLDL secretion, which was attributed to altered expression levels of lipid transport-related genes through the activated IRE1/XBP1 signaling. The oleic acid-induced detrimental effects were alleviated by co-incubating the cells with an IER1 inhibitor, 4μ8c. In conclusion, high-fat diet could lead to aberrant lipid secretion by activating the ER stress-associated IRE1/XBP1 pathway. Inhibiting the activity of IRE1 represents a promising target to rescue the side-effects of high-fat diet on the liver function of blunt snout bream.     

团头鲂GPR43基因克隆、组织分布及黄连素对其mRNA表达量的影响

试验采用RACE技术克隆了团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)G蛋白偶联受体43(GPR43)基因的cDNA序列, 并探究了不同组织中的GPR43 mRNA表达量及黄连素对其表达量的影响。结果显示, 克隆得到的团头鲂GPR43基因的cDNA序列全长为2026 bp, 含有1个长度为 981 bp的开放阅读框, 编码了326个氨基酸。RT-PCR检测发现GPR43在团头鲂的肠道、肌肉、鳃和肝胰腺中具有较高的表达。为期8周的养殖试验选取均重为(80.00±0.90) g的团头鲂320尾, 随机分于16个网箱中, 饲喂4种不同的试验日粮, 分别为正常日粮(脂肪含量为5%)、正常日粮+50 mg/kg黄连素、高脂日粮(脂肪含量为10%)、高脂日粮+50 mg/kg黄连素。结果显示: 在肠道组织中, 与正常日粮组相比, 高脂组的GPR43表达量降低, 添加黄连素能够显著升高其表达水平(P<0.05)。与正常日粮组相比, 高脂组的胆固醇(CHO)含量以及细胞分裂素蛋白激酶(p38)的表达量均呈现了显著上升(P<0.05)的趋势, 添加黄连素后其含量及表达量显著下降(P<0.05)。肝胰腺组织和肌肉组织中的多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)含量变化也有着相似的趋势, 而肉碱棕榈酰基转移酶Ⅰ(CPT Ⅰ)、过氧化物酶体增值因子α&β (PPARα&β)、AMP依赖性蛋白激酶(AMPK)的表达量以及2个组织中的饱和脂肪酸(SFA)和单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)含量呈现出了相反的趋势。此外, 在正常日粮中添加黄连素并不能对上述各指标产生明显的调控效应, 有时反而会导致轻微的负调控效应。综上结果表明, 黄连素能够显著上调GPR43在高脂抑制下的表达量, 同时能够缓解高脂诱导的团头鲂肝胰腺脂肪沉积, 改善其脂肪代谢性能。黄连素对于脂肪代谢的调控作用可能通过GPR43受体来实现。     

饲料糖和脂水平对团头鲂生长性能及血浆代谢物的影响

实验以初重(6.20±0.01) g的团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)幼鱼为研究对象,分别投喂高糖低脂(HCLL, 45%糖和2%脂)、中糖中脂(MCML, 30%糖和8%脂)和低糖高脂(LCHL, 15%糖和14%脂)的3种等氮饲料56d,以探究饲料不同糖和脂水平对团头鲂生长性能、鱼体生化组成、营养沉积及血浆代谢物的影响。实验结果显示,饲料糖和脂水平对团头鲂摄食率无显著性影响。随饲料糖水平降低和脂水平升高,团头鲂幼鱼特定生长率和饲料效率提高。高糖低脂饲料未造成肝脏糖原或甘油三酯含量的显著沉积,且各饲料组间肝体比、脏体比及肥满度均无显著性差异。饲料糖和脂水平对团头鲂鱼体生化组成无显著性影响,但随饲料糖水平降低和脂水平增加,团头鲂蛋白沉积率升高,脂肪沉积率降低。另外,血浆葡萄糖、甘油三酯、游离脂肪酸和胆固醇含量各组间均无显著性差异。低糖高脂组血浆低密度脂蛋白胆固醇显著升高,表明肝脏将脂质转运至外周组织以维持肝脏脂稳态。研究结果表明,团头鲂对饲料脂利用优于糖类,且具有较好地应答饲料糖和脂水平的代谢机制,研究结果可为团头鲂的饲料配方设计提供支撑。     

人工诱导雌核发育日本白鲫

分别用遗传失活的散鳞镜鲤(Cyprinus carpio L.)、团头鲂(Megalobrama amblycephala)精子诱导日本白鲫(Carassius cuvieri)进行雌核发育.未经冷休克处理,用UV照射过的镜鲤的精子(其最佳UV照射剂量为4 200 mJ/cm2)与日本白鲫卵子受精获得(32.4±3.3)%雌核发育单倍体和(0.7±0.3)%杂交二倍体,而照射过的团头鲂精子(其最佳UV照射剂量为3 600mJ/cm2)与日本白鲫卵子受精得到了(33.8±1.4)%雌核发育单倍体和(0.5-±0.3)%杂交二倍体.日本白鲫卵子分别经灭活的镜鲤、团头鲂的精子激活(精子经各自最佳UV剂量处理),施以冷休克处理(受精后2min,0-4℃,40min),其孵化率分别为(27.8±2.1)%和(29.4±3.3)%,发育到摄食期,其正常的雌核发育二倍体鱼苗分别为(15.7±3.4)%和(23.6±4.1)%,在镜鲤实验组中,其正常的雌核发育二倍体鱼苗占孵化鱼苗总数的56%,这比团头鲂实验组中正常雌核发育二倍体鱼苗的比率(达到80%)低,结果表明诱导日本白鲫雌核发育,与母本遗传关系远的团头鲂精子较镜鲤的更有效.从染色体数目、外形特征和性腺结构等方面证实雌核发育后代的生物学特性.雌核发育日本白鲫全为雌性,这表明其雌性是同配XX型.雌核发育日本白鲫在生产上将有着潜在的价值,如比普通日本白鲫长得更快,抗病能力强等.所有的雌核发育日本白鲫的染色体数目都是100,而所有的团头鲂与日本白鲫的杂交后代都是三倍体(3n=124),新三倍体鱼在鱼类养殖和理论研究中将存在潜在的价值.     

硫胺素水平对团头鲂幼鱼生长、肝组织沉积量及血液生化指标的影响

为研究硫胺素对团头鲂幼鱼生长、组织沉积量和血液生化指标的影响,试验采用单因素浓度梯度设计,配制了6组等氮等能的半纯合饲料,各组硫胺素含量分别为0、0.51、0.98、1.59、2.13和2.68 mg/kg。选取团头鲂幼鱼720尾[初重为（0.30±0.01）g],按随机原则分为6组,每组4重复,各重复30尾,日投饵3次,饲喂8周后采集样品。结果表明,与对照组相比,0.98、1.59、2.13、和2.68 mg/kg添加组的增重率和特定生长率均显著提高（P < 0.05）。1.59和2.13 mg/kg硫胺素添加组的成活率显著高于对照组（P < 0.05）。随着饲料中硫胺素含量的升高,血浆葡萄糖含量呈现先下降后上升的趋势,血浆葡萄糖水平在1.59 mg/kg时为最小值（P < 0.05）。对照组与0.51 mg/kg硫胺素组相比血浆中丙酮酸含量差异不显著,但显著高于其他试验组（P < 0.05）。以团头鲂幼鱼的增重率和肝脏硫胺素沉积量为评价指标,进行双折线回归分析,饲料中硫胺素适宜添加水平分别为1.48和1.84 mg/kg。     

Characterization and regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins in human hepatic stellate cells

Cultured hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the cell type primarily involved in the progression of liver fibrosis, secrete insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein (IGFBP) activity. IGF-I exerts a mitogenic effect on HSCs, thus potentially contributing to the fibrogenic process in an autocrine fashion. However, IGF-I action is modulated by the presence of specific IGFBPs that may inhibit and/or enhance its biologic effects. Therefore, we examined IGFBP-1 through IGFBP-6 mRNA and protein expression in HSCs isolated from human liver and activated in culture. Regulation of IGFBPs in response to IGF-I and other polypeptide growth factors involved in the hepatic fibrogenic process was also assessed. RNase protection assays and ligand blot analysis demonstrated that HSCs express IGFBP-2 through IGFBP-6 mRNAs and release detectable levels of IGFBP-2 through IGFBP-5. Because IGF-I, platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) stimulate HSC proliferation and/or matrix production, we tested their effect on IGFBPs released by HSCs. IGF-I induced IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5 proteins in a time-dependent manner without an increase in the corresponding mRNAs. IGFBP-4 protein levels decreased in response to IGF-I. TGF-β stimulated IGFBP-3 mRNA and protein but decreased IGFBP-5 mRNA and protein. In contrast, PDGF-BB failed to regulate IGFBPs compared with controls. Recombinant human IGFBP-3 (rhIGFBP-3) was then tested for its effect on IGF-I-induced mitogenesis in HSCs. rhIGFBP-3 inhibited IGF-I-stimulated DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner, with a peak effect observed at 25 nM IGFBP-3. Because TGF-β is highly expressed in cirrhotic liver tissue, we determined whether IGFBP-3 mRNA expression is increased in liver biopsies obtained from patients with an active fibroproliferative response due to viral-induced chronic active hepatitis. In the majority of these samples, IGFBP-3 mRNA was increased compared with normal controls. These findings indicate that human HSCs, in their activated phenotype, constitutively produce IGFBPs. IGF-I and TGF-β differentially regulate IGFBP-3, IGFBP-4, and IGFBP-5 expression, which, in turn, may modulate the in vitro and in vivo action of IGF-I. J. Cell.

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 plays an important role in regulating pharyngeal skeleton and inner ear formation and differentiation

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 is the major insulin-like growth factor (IGF) carrier protein in the bloodstream. IGFBP-3 prolongs the half-life of circulating IGFs and prevents their potential hypoglycemic effect. IGFBP-3 is also expressed in many peripheral tissues in fetal and adult stages. In vitro, IGFBP-3 can inhibit or potentiate IGF actions and even possesses IGF-independent activities, suggesting that local IGFBP-3 may also have paracrine/autocrine function(s). The in vivo function of IGFBP-3, however, is unclear. In this study, we elucidate the developmental role of IGFBP-3 using the zebrafish model. IGFBP-3 mRNA expression is first detected in the migrating cranial neural crest cells and subsequently in pharyngeal arches in zebrafish embryos. IGFBP-3 mRNA is also persistently expressed in the developing inner ears. To determine the role of IGFBP-3 in these tissues, we ablated the IGFBP-3 gene product using morpholino-modified antisense oligonucleotides (MOs). The IGFBP-3 knocked down embryos had delayed pharyngeal skeleton morphogenesis and greatly reduced pharyngeal cartilage differentiation. Knockdown of IGFBP-3 also significantly decreased inner ear size and disrupted hair cell differentiation and semicircular canal formation. Furthermore, reintroduction of a MO-resistant form of IGFBP-3 "rescued" the MO-induced defects. These findings suggest that IGFBP-3 plays an important role in regulating pharyngeal cartilage and inner ear development and growth in zebrafish.     

Characterization of three IGFBP mRNAs in Atlantic croaker and their regulation during hypoxic stress: potential mechanisms of their upregulation by hypoxia

Insulin-like growth factor-binding proteins (IGFBPs) play important roles in downregulating IGF activity and growth and development in vertebrates under hypoxic stress. However, the mechanisms of hypoxia regulation of IGFBPs in teleost fishes are unknown. The involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in hypoxia upregulation of IGFBPs in Atlantic croaker were investigated. Three croaker IGFBPs, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-5, were cloned and characterized. Chronic hypoxia exposure [dissolved oxygen (DO): 1.7 mg/l for 2-4 wk] caused significant increases in hepatic and neural IGFBP-1 mRNA expression compared with tissue mRNA levels in fish held under normoxic conditions (6.5 mg DO/l). Moreover, longer-term chronic hypoxia exposure (2-2.7 mg DO/l for 15-20 wk) caused significant increases in mRNA levels of all three IGFBPs in both liver and brain tissues. Hypoxia exposure also markedly increased superoxide radical (O(2)(·-), an index of ROS) production and HIF-1α mRNA and HIF-2α protein expression in croaker livers. Pharmacological treatment with an antioxidant attenuated the hypoxia-induced increases in O(2)(·-) production and HIFα mRNA and protein expression as well as the elevation of IGFBP-1 mRNA levels. These results suggest that the upregulation of IGFBP expression under hypoxia stress is due, in part, to alterations in the antioxidant status, which may involve ROS and HIFs.     

Genetic Diversity of and Differentiation among Five Populations of Blunt Snout Bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) Revealed by SRAP Markers: Implications for Conservation and Management

The blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) is an important freshwater aquaculture fish throughout China. Because of widespread introductions of this species to many regions, the genetic diversity of wild and natural populations is now threatened. In the present study, SRAP (sequence-related amplified polymorphism) markers were used to assess genetic diversity of blunt snout bream. Three natural populations (Liangzi Lake, Poyang Lake and Yuni Lake, one cultured population (Nanxian) and one genetic strain (‘Pujiang No. 1’) of blunt snout bream were screened with 88 SRAP primer combinations, of which 13 primer pairs produced stable and reproducible amplification patterns. In total, 172 bands were produced, of which 132 bands were polymorphic. Nei''s gene diversity (h) and Shannon''s information index (I) values provided evidence of differences in genetic diversity among the five populations (Poyang Lake>Liangzi Lake>Nanxian>‘Pujiang No. 1’>Yuni Lake). Based on cluster analysis conducted on genetic distance values, the five blunt snout bream populations were divided into three groups, Poyang Lake and Liangzi Lake (natural populations), Nanxian and ‘Pujiang No. 1’ (cultured population and genetically selected strain), and Yuni Lake (natural population). Significant genetic differentiation was found among the five populations using analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), with more genetic divergence existing among populations (55.49%), than within populations (44.51%). This molecular marker technique is a simple and efficient method to quantify genetic diversity within and among fish populations, and is employed here to help manage and conserve germplasm variability of blunt snout bream and to support the ongoing selective breeding programme for this fish.     

Dietary valine requirement of juvenile blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala Yih, 1955)

An 8‐week feeding trial was carried out to test the hypothesis that adequate dietary valine might improve growth, feed utilization and protein content in blunt snout bream, whereas a valine deficiency might have adverse effects on these parameters. Six isonitrogenous (34% crude protein) and isoenergetic (14.2 MJ kg^?1 digestible energy) experimental diets were formulated to contain graded valine levels (0.66, 0.95, 1.26, 1.55, 1.87 and 2.16% of dry weight) at about 0.30% increments replaced by equal proportions of glycine. At the end of the experiment the survival rate was not significantly affected by the dietary valine level. Final weight, weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency ratio (FER) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) increased with an increasing dietary valine level up to the 1.26% diet, and thereafter remained relatively constant. Dietary valine levels significantly affected the viscerosomatic index, but not the hepatosomatic index or condition factor. The dietary valine levels significantly affected the protein contents of whole body and plasma. Dietary valine supplementation significantly increased the plasma valine concentration, but not the levels of other branched‐chain amino acids (isoleucine and leucine). Based on SGR and FER, the optimal dietary valine requirements of juvenile blunt snout bream were determined to be 1.32% of the diet (3.88% of dietary protein) and 1.26% of the diet (3.71% of dietary protein), respectively, using broken‐line regression analysis.     

Understanding hypoxia-induced gene expression in early development: in vitro and in vivo analysis of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-regulated zebra fish insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 gene expression

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1) is a hypoxia-inducible gene that plays an important role in regulating embryonic growth and development under hypoxic stress. The molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced IGFBP-1 gene expression in the embryonic tissues are not well understood. Here we report that the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) pathway is established in early embryogenesis and mediates hypoxia-induced IGFBP-1 expression. Hypoxia increased the HIF-1 activity, and HIF-1alpha overexpression or CoCl2 treatment resulted in elevated IGFBP-1 expression in zebra fish embryos. Although the zebra fish IGFBP-1 promoter contains 13 consensus hypoxia response elements (HREs), deletion and mutational analysis revealed that only the HRE positioned at -1090/-1086 is required for the hypoxia and HIF-1 induction. Further experiments revealed that there is an HIF-1 ancillary sequence (HAS) adjacent only to the functional HRE. Mutation of this HAS greatly reduced the responsiveness of the IGFBP-1 promoter to hypoxia and HIF-1. The HAS does not directly bind to HIF-1 or affect the binding of the HRE to HIF-1. The HAS is bound to a nuclear protein(s), and this HAS binding activity is reduced by hypoxia. These results suggest that HIF-1 mediates hypoxia-induced IGFBP-1 gene expression in early development by selectively interacting with the -1090/-1086 HRE and its adjacent HAS.     

不同蛋白质和脂肪水平对1龄团头鲂生长性能和体组成的影响

试验采用3×3因子设计,探讨了饲料中不同蛋白质和脂肪水平对1龄团头鲂[均重:(50.37±1.27)g]生长性能和体组成的影响。试验设3个蛋白质水平(25%、30%和35%)和3个脂肪水平(3%、6%和9%),共配制9组饲料。试验鱼饲养于网箱(规格为2 m×1 m×1 m)中,每天投喂3次,试验期为8周。结果表明:蛋白质和脂肪之间无交互作用存在(P>0.05)。蛋白质和脂肪水平对存活率无显著影响(P>0.05)。增重率、特定生长率和饵料系数显著受蛋白质和脂肪水平影响(P<0.05)。其中,25%蛋白组的增重率及特定生长率显著低于其他蛋白组(P<0.05),而6%脂肪组显著高于其他脂肪组(P<0.01)。尽管35%蛋白6%脂肪组的饵料系数最低,但与除了25%蛋白3%脂肪和25%蛋白9%脂肪这两组外的其他组相比,差异均不显著(P>0.05)。蛋白效率比和氮保留率随蛋白质水平的升高显著降低(P<0.05)。此外,蛋白效率比显著受脂肪水平的影响(P<0.05),以6%组最高。能量保留率随脂肪水平的升高显著升高(P<0.05)。鱼体肥满度随蛋白质和脂肪水平的升高显著升高(P<0.05)。腹脂率和肝体比随脂肪水平的升高显著升高(P<0.05),而受蛋白质水平的影响较小(P>0.05)。蛋白质水平对全鱼、胴体和肝脏的组成均无显著影响(P>0.05)。脂肪水平对全鱼水分、脂肪和能量有极显著影响(P<0.01),其中,全鱼水分含量随脂肪水平的升高显著降低(P<0.01),而脂肪和能量含量则显著升高(P<0.01)。胴体和肝脏水分、脂肪含量的变化趋势与全鱼基本一致。以上结果表明,1龄团头鲂的适宜蛋白质和脂肪水平分别为30%和6%,适宜蛋能比为18.21 g/MJ。     

Induction of Gynogenesis in Japanese Crucian Carp (Carassius cuvieri)

Diploid gynogenesis was induced in Japanese crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri) eggs using UV-irradiated genetically inactive spermatozoa from mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) or blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala), with or without cold shock. The optimal radiation dosage was 4200 mJ/cm² and 3600 mJ/cm² for mirror carp and blunt snout bream sperm, respectively. At this dosage and without cold shock, the yields were (32.4±3.3)% vs. (33.8±1.4)% gynogenetic haploids and (0.7±0.3)% vs. (0.5±0.3)% hybrid diploids, respectively. At the optimal UV dosage but with cold shock (2 min after fertilization, 0-4°C for 40 min), the hatching rates were (27.8±2.1)% and (29.4±3.3)%, respectively. From hatching to feeding, (15.7±3.4)% and (23.6±4.1)% normal gynogenetic diploids were recorded, respectively. Survival of normal gynogenetic diploids was 56% out of the hatched fry when using irradiated spermatozoa of mirror carp, which was lower than that (up to 80%) when using irradiated spermatozoa of blunt snout bream. This indicated that the sperm of blunt snout bream, with distant genetic relation to the maternal Japanese crucian carp, was more effective than that of mirror carp to induce diploid gynogenesis. The nature of the gynogenetic progeny was identified with external appearance, chromosome number and gonad structure. The presence of only females in gynogenetic progeny probably suggested XX genotype in the female Japanese crucian carp. The gynogenetic diploids have potential values such as faster growth and stronger disease resistance than the normal Japanese crucian carp. All gynogenetic progeny possessed 100 chromosomes whereas all J x B crosses were triploid with 124 chromosomes. The formation of the new triploid hybrids in J x B crosses may be useful in aquaculture.

试验采用单因素试验设计, 以饲料中吡哆醇浓度为影响因素, 研究了团头鲂幼鱼的适宜吡哆醇需求量。试验共配置了7组等氮等能的半纯化饲料, 其吡哆醇的实际含量分别为0、1.04、1.99、4.07、5.91、7.96和9.22 mg/kg。选用840尾均重:(6.810.17) g团头鲂幼鱼, 随机分为7组, 每组4重复, 每重复30尾鱼, 日投饵3次, 养殖期为8周。结果表明, 当饲料中吡哆醇含量由0升高至5.91 mg/kg时, 团头鲂的增重率、特定生长率、饲料利用率、成活率、蛋白效率比和氮保留率均得到显著改善(P0.05); 当吡哆醇含量进一步升高至9.22 mg/kg时, 蛋白效率比和氮保留率均显著下降(P0.05), 而其他指标则无显著变化(P0.05)。饲料中的吡哆醇含量显著影响团头鲂的肝体比(P0.05)且以5.91 mg/kg组为最低, 但对肥满度和胴体率均无显著影响(P0.05)。当饲料吡哆醇含量由0升高至5.91 mg/kg时, 肝脏谷草转氨酶和谷丙转氨酶活性以及吡哆醇含量均显著升高(P0.05); 当吡哆醇含量进一步升高至9.22 mg/kg时, 三者均无显著变化(P0.05)。以肝脏中的谷丙和谷草转氨酶活性以及吡哆醇含量为评价指标, 拟合折线模型得到团头鲂幼鱼的适宜吡哆醇的需求量为4.175.02 mg/kg。       

Dietary methionine requirement of pre‐adult blunt snout bream, (Megalobrama amblycephala Yih, 1955)

A nine‐week feeding trial was conducted to test the hypothesis that an adequate methionine diet might improve growth, feed utilization, body composition and physiology, and biochemical parameters in pre‐adult blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala, whereas a methionine deficiency might have adverse effects on these parameters. Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetics semi‐purified diets (33.0% crude protein, 7.0% crude lipid) were formulated to contain graded methionine levels (0.39–1.54% of dry weight) at 0.25% increments replaced by equal proportions of glycine. Results show that the survival rate (SR) was not significantly affected by the dietary methionine level. Final weight (FW), feed efficiency ratios (FER), weight gain (WG), and specific growth rate (SGR) increased with increasing dietary methionine levels up to 1.00% and then showed a declining trend. Using quadratic regression analysis of FER and SGR, the dietary methionine requirement was estimated to be 0.74% (2.24% of dietary protein) and 0.76% of the diet (2.30% of dietary protein), respectively. Fish fed the 0.39% methionine diet showed significantly lower whole body protein content compared to those fed with 0.85, 1.00 and 1.24% methionine diets (P < 0.05). Whole body moisture, lipid, and ash contents in pre‐adult adult blunt snout bream were not significantly affected. The urea content in fish fed the 0.85% methionine diet was significantly higher than those of fish fed a 0.39, 0.56, 1.24, 1.54% methionine diet (P < 0.05), but not significantly different in fish fed the 1.00% methionine diet (P > 0.05). No significant differences were found in other indexes such as the hepatosomatic index (HSI), viscerosomatic index (VSI), condition factor (CF), albumin (ALB), total protein (TP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and spartate transaminase (AST) (P > 0.05). Most important, the optimal dietary methionine level of pre‐adult blunt snout bream should be 0.74–0.76% of the diet (2.24–2.30% of dietary protein).     

草鱼雌核发育后代不同群体的微卫星遗传分析及指纹识别

以紫外线灭活的团头鲂精子激活草鱼卵子,冷休克抑制第二极体排出的方法诱导出长江水系优良F2代草鱼减数雌核发育子代。在后代中不仅存在雌核发育后代,还存在草鲂杂交后代,雌核发育后代的体型与草鱼一致,而草鲂杂交后代的体型介于草鱼与团头鲂之间。Partec CyFlow倍性分析仪测定结果显示:普通草鱼与雌核发育草鱼的相对DNA含量分别为23.01和22.72,二者的DNA含量接近;而高体型子代的相对DNA含量为25.38,介于草鱼与团头鲂（DNA含量28.21）之间,属于草鲂杂交后代。选取17个微卫星标记对草鱼群体、雌核发育草鱼群体和草鲂杂交后代的遗传多样性进行了检测,共检测出59个等位基因,其中43.18个有效等位基因。草鱼对照群体、草鲂杂交后代和雌核发育草鱼群体的平均等位基因依次为3.57、2.86和2.79,平均有效等位基因依次为2.93、2.37和1.96,平均期望杂合度在依次为0.6502、0.5573和0.3775,多态信息含量（PIC）平均值依次为0.5738、0.4649和0.3791。与草鱼对照群体相比,雌核发育草鱼群体的遗传多样性显著下降,表明通过减数雌核发育方法可获得纯合性较高的草鱼个体。构建了草鱼后代不同群体的DNA指纹模式图,筛选到不同群体的9个特异微卫星标记,为草鱼优良群体的选育提供了基础资料。
