To assess the effect of docosahaxaenoic acid （DHA） on lipegenic and lipelysis enzymes, one-year fish were roared on a casein-based purified diet and a DHA fortified diet （ 1.5% DHA ethyl ester/kg diet） for 60 d, followed with a period of 55 d for starvation. Dietary DHA was effectively incorporated into the fish body. Fortification of DHA depressed activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase as lipogenic enzymes in the hepatopancroas and intraperitoneal fat body. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase as lipolysis enzyme in the hepatopancreas was active in the DHA fortified fish. Starvation after feeding experiment induced increased carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity in both control and DHA fortified fish and the activity remained higher in the DHA fortified fish, while the monoenes were selectively consumed prior to highly unsaturated fatty acids. These results indicated that dietary DHA depressed lipogenesis and activated lipolysis.展开更多

The results showed that an average of 4.88-7.65 number of alleles （A）; an average of 3.20-5.33 effective alleles （Ne）; average observed beterozygosity （Ho） of 0.6985-0.9044; average expected beterozygosity （He） of 0.6501--0.7805; and the average polymorphism information content （PIC） at 0.5706-0.7226. Pairwise FST value between populations ranged from 0.0307-0.1451, and Nei＇s standard genetic distance between populations was 0.0938-0.4524. The expected heterozygosities in the domesticated populations （GA and HX） were significantly lower than those found in three wild populations （LZ, SS and JL）, but no difference was detected when compared with the wild YN population. Likewise, no difference was found between the four wild populations or two domesticated populations. The expected heterozygosity in Pujiang No. 1 was higher than the two domesticated populations and lower than the four wild populations. Regarding pairwise Fsr value between populations, permutation test P-values were significant between the GA, HX and PJ populations, but not between the four wild populations. These results showed that the expected beterozygosity in the selected strain of blunt snout bream, after seven generations of selective breeding, was lower than that of wild populations, but this strain retains higher levels of genetic diversity than domesticated populations. The genetic differences and differentiation amongst wild populations, domesticated populations and the genetically improved strain of blunt snout bream will provide important conservation criteria and guide the utilization of germplasm resources.展开更多

Thenucleotide sequence analysis showed the Tb IGF-ⅠcDNA consisted of 486 nucleotides andencoded 117 amino acids including B, C, A, D and E five domains. Analysis of E-domainindicated that cloned Tb IGF-Ⅰbelonged to IGF-ⅠEa-2 subtype. Identity analysis showedthe IGF-Ⅰnucleotide sequence shared 99.8% homology with bluntnose bream, 88.8% withgrass carp, 85.8% with common carp; the pre-IGF-Ⅰamine acid sequence shared 99.4% withbluntnose bream, 88.8% with grass carp, 85.4% homology with common carp. In the CyprinusCarpio, the higher homology of nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence in IGF-Ⅰshowed that the closer relationship the fishes have. These results could provide basicdata for the research on Tb germplasm and the development and utilization of biologicalfeed additives.展开更多

The average initial live weight was about 2.2 ± 0.1 g fish<sup>?1</sup> in each replicate of all treatments. Sixty fish per tank were stocked randomly in 6 fiberglass tanks (1 m<sup>3</sup> each). Fish were fed with experimental diets at rate 8% of the body weight daily. The Amino Acids (AA) content was analyzed in the diets, whole fish and muscle at the end of the growth period (60 days). The results indicated that at the end of experiment gilthead bream fingerlings had reached an average live weight 18.5 and 16.2 g fish<sup>?1</sup> for fish fed diet A and B respectively. Also the increase of protein levels in the feed to 40% caused a significant increase in the content of Indispensable Amino Acid (IAA) and dispensable amino acid (as %v of whole fish and muscle of wet weight). Two methods were subsequently used to estimate the quantitative IAA requirements of gilthead bream fry based on the hypothesis that (a) the dietary requirement pattern of IAA reflected the tissue pattern and (b) the rate of daily deposition in the fish could be equated with the dietary requirement as percentage of 100 g<sup>?1</sup> diet. The quantitative IAA requirement (%) of gilthead bream (Sparus aurata) diets was as follow: Lysine 2.27, Methionine 1.09, Therionine 0.61, Leucine 2.4, Isoleucine 0.47, Histidine1.6, Arginine 1.39, Phenylalanine 1.43, Valine 1.22 and Tryptophane 0.42.展开更多

Pagrosomus major.were investigated.Administration of reGH to fry by immersion at 2 mg 1 for 2 hevery 5 dsys resulted in significant increase in both weight and length.but the condition factor (CF) diminished relative to that of similarly treated controls over the 37day treatment period.Immersion in 0.1 mg:1 T4 also resulted in significant increase in both weight and length and higher survival rate of test fry compared to the controls. Immersion in MT had less effect on growth and high-dose resulted in high mortality.In the second study.injection of 2 μg reGH(gwk)caused a significant increase in the specific growth rate (SGR) of test red sea bream fingerlings relative to that of the controls during the 4-week treatment period and maintained the increasing trend over the post-treatment period (weeks 4-6).Injection of MT at a dosage of 1μg (gwk) resulted in a significant展开更多

Inadequate phosphorus in the diet resulted in slow growth and poor food conversion ratio (FCR). Analyses of the fish body showed it contained a high level of lipid but a low level of moisture, ash, calcium and phosphorus. The optimal values of phosphorus and Ca/P ratio in the black sea bream diet are 0.68% and 1:2 respectively. Phosphorus in excess of this optimum value resulted in slow growth or even death. The results of this experiment clearly indicated that phosphorus is the principal mineral additive affecting black sea bream growth.展开更多

Another experiment on the proper ratio of animal to plant protein in its diet using sandeel as theanimal protein source and peanut cake meal as plant protein source showed that the ratio had great ef-fect on its growth and should be 1.00:0.89—0.96 as judged from the growth rate and food consumptionof the fish.展开更多

Growth of the lymphocytes was compared between cultures with mitogens phytohemagglutinin (PHA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), concanavalin A(Con A) and a cytokine mouse interleukin 2(IL 2) in a basal medium at various combinations. Addition of PHA or LPS enhanced growth of the lymphocytes, Con A did not enhance growth so much. Large colonies were formed when PA was added. Con A induced scattered single cell proliferation of the lymphocytes. IL 2 supported the actions of PHA and LPS. Combined addition of PHA and IL 2 maintained proliferation for 30 d.展开更多

The diets containing reGH GS, rcsGH GS, reGH HP55 and free reGH or uncoated rcsGH were administered to red sea bream. Feeding of reGH GS, reGH HP55 and rcsGH GS diets resulted in significant increases in body weight and fork length over those of controls. These results strongly suggest that gelatin and sodium alginate as well as polymer matrix protected the hormone from proteolytic enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract to allow the bioactive hormone to enter the circulation and eventually stimulate fish growth.展开更多

In recent years, artificial breeding techniques with molecular and microsatellite markers have been developed to enhance rock bream resources. Microsatellite loci to define genetic diversity were screened in rock bream (n = 30) from Jeju areas of Korea and fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were newly identified and analyzed. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 9 to 34 while observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.600 to 1.000 and from 0.772 to 0.977, respectively. These markers will serve as a foundation for future population genetic studies and the selective breeding technology of rock bream farming.展开更多

Water quality, fish growth, specific growth rate （SGR） and feed conversion ratio under the two ERs were examined for a period of six months. Inorganic nutrient in RAS, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were measured daily. Feeding regime effect was also determined on the fish quality and organoleptic characteristics and thus opts to energy optimization of the system. The fish reared under the 1.5 m^3 feed/kg ER demonstrate enhanced growth, the daily SGR and the conversion ratio. Sensory test analysis revealed differences in the organoleptic characteristics between the two experimental fish stocks with considerably high acceptance scores for fish reared at high ER. Nutrient concentrations： ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate were lower in RAS of the highest ER when compared to those reared under the 0.5 m3/kg feed. Results suggest an ER of 1.5 m^3 feed/kg improved both fish quality and growth profile of the gilthead bream.展开更多

This study was conducted from June 2010 to July 2011. At the end of study, maximum heavy metal levels for sea bass and sea bream fillets were determined as 256.50, 216.22 μg/kg for Cd;414.79, 338.46 μg/kg for Hg ve 1047.61, 147.14 μg/kg for Pb, respectively. At the end of the study, the levels of cadmium (for 3 samples) and lead (for 1 samples) were higher than the recommended legal limits of the European Union for human consumption. It was detected that the fillets which were analyzed was good quality from the point of cadmium, mercury and lead contents.展开更多

The quantitative IAA requirement (%) of gilthead bream (Sparus aurata) diets was as follow: Lysine 2.27, Methionine 1.09, Therionine 0.61, Leucine 2.4, Isoleucine 0.47, Histidine1.6, Arginine 1.39, Phenylalanine 1.43, Valine 1.22 and Tryptophane 0.42.
文摘The effects of recombinant eel growth hormone (reGH).methyltestosterone (MT)and L-thyroxine (T4)on the growth of red sea bream. Pagrosomus major.were investigated.Administration of reGH to fry by immersion at 2 mg 1 for 2 hevery 5 dsys resulted in significant increase in both weight and length.but the condition factor (CF) diminished relative to that of similarly treated controls over the 37day treatment period.Immersion in 0.1 mg:1 T4 also resulted in significant increase in both weight and length and higher survival rate of test fry compared to the controls. Immersion in MT had less effect on growth and high-dose resulted in high mortality.In the second study.injection of 2 μg reGH(gwk)caused a significant increase in the specific growth rate (SGR) of test red sea bream fingerlings relative to that of the controls during the 4-week treatment period and maintained the increasing trend over the post-treatment period (weeks 4-6).Injection of MT at a dosage of 1μg (gwk) resulted in a significant
文摘An experiment on the phosphorus requirement and the proper Ca/P ratio in the diet of the black sea bream using the phosphorus gradient method (with casein as basic diet, sodium dihydrogen phosphate as source of phosphorus, and calcium lactate as source of calcium) showed that growth was greatly affected by the diet’s phosphorus content and Ca/P ratio. Inadequate phosphorus in the diet resulted in slow growth and poor food conversion ratio (FCR). Analyses of the fish body showed it contained a high level of lipid but a low level of moisture, ash, calcium and phosphorus. The optimal values of phosphorus and Ca/P ratio in the black sea bream diet are 0.68% and 1:2 respectively. Phosphorus in excess of this optimum value resulted in slow growth or even death. The results of this experiment clearly indicated that phosphorus is the principal mineral additive affecting black sea bream growth.
文摘An experiment on the optimum dietary protein content for the black sea bream using semi-purified dietsshowed the optimum content is 50.19% by weight as inferred from the growth rate and food consumptionof the fish. Another experiment on the proper ratio of animal to plant protein in its diet using sandeel as theanimal protein source and peanut cake meal as plant protein source showed that the ratio had great ef-fect on its growth and should be 1.00:0.89—0.96 as judged from the growth rate and food consumptionof the fish.

文摘Histogenesis of the immune system and specific activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) were studied in rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus from fertilization to 50 days after hatching(DAH).The pronephric tubule primordium developed in the embryo,14 h 30 min post fertilization.The spleen anlage was observed between the swim bladder and the intestine at 5 DAH,and the thymus was formed as a paired structure under the pharyngeal epithelium above the gill arch at 10 DAH.The order of the immune organs becoming lymphoid was the pronephric kidney(10 DAH),thymus(15 DAH) and spleen(21 DAH).As the embryo developed,the specific activity of SOD gradually increased until hatching,but subsequently SOD activity continuously decreased to a minimum at 14 DAH.After the spleen became lymphoid,the specific activity of SOD was relatively stable.It is suggested that the immaturity of the lymphoid organs and low specific activity of SOD was the cause of the high mortality of fingerlings 12 to 16 DAH.
文摘This study attempted to culture red sea bream lymphocytes using artificial medium supplemented with mitogens and a cytokine. Growth of the lymphocytes was compared between cultures with mitogens phytohemagglutinin (PHA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), concanavalin A(Con A) and a cytokine mouse interleukin 2(IL 2) in a basal medium at various combinations. Addition of PHA or LPS enhanced growth of the lymphocytes, Con A did not enhance growth so much. Large colonies were formed when PA was added. Con A induced scattered single cell proliferation of the lymphocytes. IL 2 supported the actions of PHA and LPS. Combined addition of PHA and IL 2 maintained proliferation for 30 d.
文摘Recombinant eel GH and yeast containing chinook salmon growth hormone (reGH and rcsGH) were incorporated into gelatin and sodium alginate (reGH GS and rcsGH GS) or polymer matrix (reGH HP55) to protect the hormone from proteolytic cleavage in the stomach. The diets containing reGH GS, rcsGH GS, reGH HP55 and free reGH or uncoated rcsGH were administered to red sea bream. Feeding of reGH GS, reGH HP55 and rcsGH GS diets resulted in significant increases in body weight and fork length over those of controls. These results strongly suggest that gelatin and sodium alginate as well as polymer matrix protected the hormone from proteolytic enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract to allow the bioactive hormone to enter the circulation and eventually stimulate fish growth.
文摘Rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) is one of the most economically valuable fish in Korea. In recent years, artificial breeding techniques with molecular and microsatellite markers have been developed to enhance rock bream resources. Microsatellite loci to define genetic diversity were screened in rock bream (n = 30) from Jeju areas of Korea and fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were newly identified and analyzed. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 9 to 34 while observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.600 to 1.000 and from 0.772 to 0.977, respectively. These markers will serve as a foundation for future population genetic studies and the selective breeding technology of rock bream farming.
文摘This study was designed to compare the effect of two exchange rates （ERs; 0.5 m^3 feed/kg and 1.5 m^3 feed/kg） in re-circulating aquaculture systems （RAS） on water quality and fish growth profiles on fish stocks （200 indiv/m^3 of 251.4 g e 20.67 g） of gilthead bream, Sparus aurata. Water quality, fish growth, specific growth rate （SGR） and feed conversion ratio under the two ERs were examined for a period of six months. Inorganic nutrient in RAS, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH were measured daily. Feeding regime effect was also determined on the fish quality and organoleptic characteristics and thus opts to energy optimization of the system. The fish reared under the 1.5 m^3 feed/kg ER demonstrate enhanced growth, the daily SGR and the conversion ratio. Sensory test analysis revealed differences in the organoleptic characteristics between the two experimental fish stocks with considerably high acceptance scores for fish reared at high ER. Nutrient concentrations： ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate were lower in RAS of the highest ER when compared to those reared under the 0.5 m3/kg feed. Results suggest an ER of 1.5 m^3 feed/kg improved both fish quality and growth profile of the gilthead bream.
文摘In this study, trace metals [Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg) and Lead (Pb)] consentration of 76 pieces of frozen European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax Linnaeus-1758) and gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus-1758) fillets, produced and marketed in Turkey, were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) after microwave damp burning process, and results obtained were assessed in terms of public health. This study was conducted from June 2010 to July 2011. At the end of study, maximum heavy metal levels for sea bass and sea bream fillets were determined as 256.50, 216.22 μg/kg for Cd;414.79, 338.46 μg/kg for Hg ve 1047.61, 147.14 μg/kg for Pb, respectively. At the end of the study, the levels of cadmium (for 3 samples) and lead (for 1 samples) were higher than the recommended legal limits of the European Union for human consumption. It was detected that the fillets which were analyzed was good quality from the point of cadmium, mercury and lead contents.

文摘Host-associated probiotics(HAPs)are bacteria originally isolated from rearing water or the host's gastrointestinal tract in order to enhance the host's growth and health.This study investigated the HAP potential of Bacillus sp.PM8313,isolated from wild red sea bream(Pagrus major),through characterization and feeding trials.Results based on in vitro tests showed that PM8313 is safe,confirming its hemolytic,cytotoxic,and antibiotic resistance.In addition,PM8313 showed advantages as a probiotic with high viability in the gastrointestinal model and a high cell adhesion rate.Whole-genome sequencing demonstrated that PM8313 has a 4,615,871 bp single circular chromosome and a guaninecytosine content of 45.25%.It also showed the absence of genes encoding virulence factors,such as cytotoxin,enterotoxin,hemolysin,sphingomyelinase,and phospholipase.In the feeding trial,a supplemental diet of 1×10^(8)CFU/g PM8313 positively altered the weight gain,digestive enzyme activity,and intestinal microbiota composition of red sea bream.Analysis of nonspecific immune parameters and immune-related gene expression,and a challenge test showed that PM8313 supplementation increases immunity and pathogenic bacteria resistance.Our findings suggest that PM8313 should be considered for application as a novel HAP to red sea bream aquaculture.

文摘STUDIES on the nutrition requirement of larval fish have made some progress abroad, but therehave been no reports on such studies in China. It was determined recently that n-3 HUFA (es-pecially 22: 6(n-3) (DHA) and 20:5 (n-3) (EPA)) is essential for larval seafish growth. Thehigh content of DHA in seafish eggs and the low content of DHA in rotifers show that rotifersas live food cannot satisfy the n-3 HUFA requirement of larval seafish. Some scientists ob-

文摘Objective:To study the dynamics of H_(2)O,Na,K,Ca and Mg content in the oocytes of bream,Abramis brama observed in prespawning period on breeding ground and in reply to catching,transportation and subsequent remaining of spawners in a cage.Methods:For research on the dynamics of H_(2)O and cations content in the oocytes of bream females,Abramis brama in the course of eggs transition from maturity Stage IV to Stage V,fishes were caught from breeding ground in the coastal zone of the Volga Reach of the Rybinsk reservoir at the Vereteya Station.For studying the influence of stress,the bream(76 individuals)were caught from breeding ground by hauling the seine during 15 min.Capture,sorting and transportation for 3 h to the ponds were the stress factors.Samples of oocytes from 6–8 fishes were taken immediately after capturing,then two more were taken during transportation.Later fishes were removed from the cage in certain time intervals.Concentration of Na and K in the dissolved samples of oocytes was measured by the spectrometer(Flapho-4,Carl Zeiss,Iena,Germany)and content of Ca and Mg was measured by atomic-absorption spectrometer-1(the same producer).Results:In natural conditions before spawning in the course of maturation of oocytes from maturity Stage IV to V,H_(2)O content in the ovicells of bream has increased by 3.3%and concentration of Na,K,Ca and Mg has decreased by 24.9%,38.1%,56.2%and 65.7%,accordingly.Stress caused by capturing,transportation and the subsequent remaining of bream spawners in a cage did not change parameters of water-salt exchange of the oocytes.Conclusions:In natural conditions before spawning,the maturation of oocytes of bream from maturity Stage IV to V take place.Stress caused by capturing,transportation and the subsequent remaining of bream spawners in a cage prevents the transition of eggs from maturity Stage IV to V.It is suggested that in order to develop optimal technique stimulating oocytes maturation and the process of ovulation in industrial conditions,study of these reactions of spawners of one or another species in natural environment is preferentially conducted.Conditions of incubation and combination of hormonal preparations selected on the basis of these data should invoke similar effects as the ones spawners experience in natural habitat.
