Swim-through chemical repellency tests, using sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), cupric acetate, and rotenone, were conducted in a specially-designed roundabout tank on horn sharks, Heterodontus francisci , swell sharks, Cephaloscylliun ventriosum , and leopard sharks, Triakis semifasciata . Effective concentration thresholds (EC50 s) were calculated for two levels of response: (1) minimum noticeable and (2) strong. The SLS EC50 s were: horn shark 43.6 and 174.5 ppm; swell shark 95.1 and 160.0 ppm; and leopard shark inconclusive and 113.1 ppm. No response was discernible from cupric acetate. Rotenone evoked a weak response with an EC50 of 5.7 ppm, but no strong response.
The ratio of the minimum noticeable EC50 : 24-hour lethal concentration (LC50 ) indicated the relative repellency (compared to toxicity) of the chemicals. The ratio for SLS was 19:1 and for rotenone 57:1. SLS did not provoke a repellency response at a low enough concentration to function effectively as a classical, surrounding-cloud type, repellent. The range of potency of SLS, however, does allow it to be used as a directional repellent. 相似文献

The common smooth‐hound (Mustelus mustelus ) is the topmost bio‐economically and recreationally important shark species in southern Africa, western Africa, and Mediterranean Sea. Here, we used the Illumina HiSeq? 2000 next‐generation sequencing (NGS ) technology to develop novel microsatellite markers for Mustelus mustelus . Two microsatellite multiplex panels were constructed from 11 polymorphic loci and characterized in two populations of Mustelus mustelus representative of its South African distribution. The markers were then tested for cross‐species utility in Galeorhinus galeus , Mustelus palumbes , and Triakis megalopterus , three other demersal coastal sharks also subjected to recreational and/or commercial fishery pressures in South Africa. We assessed genetic diversity (N A, A R, H O, H E, and PIC) and differentiation (F ST and D est) for each species and also examined the potential use of these markers in species assignment. In each of the four species, all 11 microsatellites were variable with up to a mean N A of 8, A R up to 7.5, H E and PIC as high as 0.842. We were able to reject genetic homogeneity for all species investigated here except for T . megalopterus . We found that the panel of the microsatellite markers developed in this study could discriminate between the study species, particularly for those that are morphologically very similar. Our study provides molecular tools to address ecological and evolutionary questions vital to the conservation and management of these locally and globally exploited shark species. 相似文献

Summary The pressure difference between the cardinal sinus and the pericardium, and the transmural ventricular diastolic pressure at rest and during swimming in the leopard shark, Triakis semifasciata, was measured to characterize the mechanism of cardiac filling in chronically-instrumented fish and to evaluate cardiac responses to swimming. Echo-Doppler and radiographic imaging were also used to fully describe the cardiac cycle. Swimming induces an increase in preload as manifested by a large increment of cardinal sinus pressure (0.26/0.20 [systolic/diastolic] to 0.49/0.32 kPa) which always exceeds pericardial pressure. Increases in both mean ventricular diastolic transmural pressure (0.30–0.77 kPa) and cardinal sinus pressure during swimming suggest increased cardiac filling by vis a tergo as the mechanism for augmenting cardiac output. In contrast to mammals, the fluid-filled pericardial space of elasmobranchs is considerably larger and the pericardium itself does not move in concert with the heart throughout the cardiac cycle. Also, modest increases in heart rate drastically curtail the duration of diastole, which becomes much less than that of systole, a phenomenon not found in mammals. In the absence of tachycardia (<40 bpm), ventricular filling is characterized by a period of early rapid filling, and a late period of filling owing to atrial systole, separated by a period of diastasis. Ventricular filling in elasmobranchs is thus biphasic and is not solely dependent on atrial systole. Atrial diastole is characterized by three filling periods associated with atrial relaxation, ventricular ejection, and sinus venosus contraction. The estimated ventricular ejection fraction of Triakis (80%) exceeds that of the mammalian left ventricle. 相似文献
