To establish a recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay for the detection of  Nocardia   seriolae , the primers for RAA were designed according to the specific genome fragments of  N.seriolae  with intraspecific conservation and interspecific variation. The specific primer of RAA was verified by detecting 7 related  Nocardia  spp. and 9 common pathogens in aquaculture, and the sensitivity of the detection method was analyzed by gradient dilution of the recombinant plasmid containing the target fragment. The reliability and coverage of the RAA assay were assessed in diseased and healthy fish as well as several  N.seriolae  strains from different sources. Results showed the RAA assay established in this study specifically detected  N.seriolae , and the detection sensitivity was 100 pg/μL. The positive bands were amplified in the tissues including liver, kidney, and spleen of artificially infected hybrid snakehead ( Channa   maculate ♀× C.argus ♂), and the  N.seriolae  strains of different sources. The finding indicates that the RAA assay established in this study is rapid and convenient and can meet the needs for the rapid detection of  N.seriolae .

Vibriosis as one of the main bacterial diseases in aquaculture, is causing harm to fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, and development of its control techniques is of great significance for promoting sustainable development of aquaculture. The control methods of vibriosis mainly include drug, immune, and biological control, which are respectively represented by antibiotics, vaccines, and probiotics. Basing on the relationship between species, biological control is the method of inhibiting another organism or class of organisms by using an organism or class of organisms or their derivatives. It can carry out broad-spectrum disease control throughout the entire breeding process with little effect on the environment and food safety, which is a promising control technology. Currently, the biological control methods of vibriosis in aquaculture primarily include probiotics, medicinal plants, and bacteriophages. Based on the introduction of the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis of vibriosis in aquatic animals, we review the research on biological control of vibriosis in aquaculture animals from the aspects of control types, control mechanisms and applications of control technology. In addition, the main direction of future research on biological control of vibriosis is proposed: while deeply exploring its mechanism and mode of action, ensure environmental friendliness, high quality and efficiency, and promote its commercial development, thus to provide scientific reference for biological control of vibriosis in aquaculture.

ZHU Jiangfeng
Journal of Dalian Ocean University    2024, 39 (1): 1-8.   DOI: 10.16535/j.cnki.dlhyxb.2024-037

Traditional methods of fisheries stock management decision-making have been developed since the 1950s to collect data and assess the status of stock, make scientific management recommendations and implement management measures through management measures. The disadvantage of traditional methods is that stock assessment often has large uncertainties, resulting in management recommendations that also have large uncertainties. Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, with the development of computer simulation technology, the application of harvest strategy (management procedure) methodology in fisheries management has continued to develop, and has now evolved into a relatively mature and complete set of quantitative fisheries stock management methodology system, and plays an important role in the protection of marine mammals and the development and conservation of economic fish stocks. Comparatively speaking, the harvest strategy approach has been less applied and studied in China. This paper summarizes the basic process of traditional fishery resource management decision-making, as well as the characteristics, advantages and challenges of the harvest strategy approach, and proposes that the application of the harvest strategy is conducive to the scientific management and long-term sustainable use of fishery resources under the premise that specific management measures can be effectively implemented. With regard to fisheries that are considering the use of management strategy evaluation to establish harvest strategies, recommendations for future development are put forward, such as strengthening the collection of basic data on fisheries and population biology, strengthening research on population simulation techniques and capacity-building, and accelerating the development and application of new harvest strategies applicable to severely declining stocks, with a view to providing a reference for China in applying the harvest strategy approach to fisheries management decision-making.

Amyloodiniosis, commonly referred to as “marine velvet”, velvet disease, is a parasitological disease caused by one of the most common and important parasitic dinoflagellates  Amyloodinium   ocellatum . The  A.ocellatum  infects a wide range of fish species in different habitats including tropical and subtropical geographical locations, and has a direct life cycle that comprises three stages: trophont, tomont, and dinospores, which can be completed in less than a week dependent on favorable environmental factors. The disease is characterized by rapid onset and high mortality, which seriously hinders the healthy development of China’s marine fish industrial farming and semi-intensive pond farming, leading to huge economic losses. The typical symptoms of amyloodiniosis are changes in fish behavior, decreased appetite, faster breathing, and swimming at the water surface or gathering at the areas with higher dissolved oxygen concentrations. Fish mortalities are usually attributed to hypoxia, inflammation, severe gill hyperplasia, hemorrhage, and necrosis in heavy infestations. This review summarizes the current situation and the latest researches progress on the life cycle of  A.ocellatum , the prevalence, detection methods, and preventive and control measures of amyloodiniosis. It is proposed to strengthen the future research of pathogenic detection of the farming environment, low-temperature preservation, vaccine development, aiming to provide references for the scientific prevention and treatment of marine fish amyloodiniosis in fisheries production.

To investigate the nitrogen removal capacity of different filler-biofilms in mariculture tail water, biofilters were constructed by the addition of oyster shells (M), coral stones (S), suspended ball fillers (F), elastic fillers (T), and without any filler as control (C), respectively. The formation speed and the biomass of biofilms as well as the nitrogen removal capacity of the biofilms at 24 hours were compared, while the changes in microbial community structure of the biofilms on biofilters were analyzed using Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing technology during biofilms formation period(20th day, 40th day, and 60th day). The different filler-biofilms were found to required 46-50 days for mature, with most rapid formation of the coral stone filler biofilm. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the biofilms on elastic filler and suspended ball filler had more biomasses than the other two fillers, largely consisting of rod-shape bacteria. The analysis of nitrogen removal capacity at 24 hours showed that there was the maximal removal rate of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen by suspended ball fillers, and that the maximal removal rate of nitrite nitrogen by coral stone, which were (68.66%±6.27%), (6.73%±3.41%), and (99.99%±0.00%), respectively. The analysis of microbial community diversity revealed that the abundance of bacteria on elastic filler biofilms was increased, while the diversity of bacteria on oyster shell and coral stone biofilms was decreased significantly with the prolongation of biofilms formation time ( P <0.05). The dominant microfloras of biofilms with different fillers were shown to be Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes at the phylum level. The relative abundances of Nitrospirae and Nitrospinae were increased with the extension of biofilms formation time.  Nitrosomonas Nitrospira Nitrospina  and unclassified_Nitrosomonadaceae were the dominant bacteria with nitrification on different filler-biofilms at the genus level. The descending order of relative abundance of nitrifying bacteria at 60th day was described as: suspended ball fillers (42.53%)> oyster shells (30.50%), elastic fillers (29.30%)> coral stones (11.74%)( P <0.05). The relative abundance of denitrification bacteria, such as  Pseudomonas Ralstonia Chitinophaga  and  Herbaspirillum , were higher on the biofilms of coral stone than on other filler-biofilms. The findings indicated that coral stone and suspended ball filler as ideal fillers were favorable to enrichment of nitrogen removal bacteria, and had better denitrification ability for mariculture wastewater.

China is the largest of mariculture country in the world. The rapid development of this industry has brought about environmental pollution problems such as water pollutant discharge that cannot be ignored while booming the social economy. Mariculture wastewater is characterized by high salinity, complex pollutant composition and poor biochemical properties, and the treatment of mariculture wastewater is the difficult and technically demanding. Researches on the formation process and mechanism of mariculture carbon sink indicate that mariculture process and marine carbon sink are mutually reinforcing. This paper reviews the research progress of in situ bioremediation technologies including shellfish purification, microbial purification, biosymbiotic restoration, and comprehensive wastewater treatment, as well as ex situ bioremediation technologies such as ecological floating islands, ecological ditches, artificial wetlands, and ecological purification ponds. On this basis, the strategy of mariculture wastewater treatment and carbon reduction is proposed with the core of efficient deep treatment of wastewater and resource and energy recycling, taking into account the sustainable development goals of mariculture industry in China. The present paper looks forward to carbon neutrality in the future, innovating breeding models to increase marine carbon sinks, strengthening the management and control of green breeding processes, upgrading wastewater treatment technology and resource regeneration to reduce carbon emissions. The appropriate combination of carbon emission reduction is expected to provide a useful reference for promoting marine aquaculture to help achieve the strategic goal of carbon neutrality.

To analyze the expression characteristics of  CgLOX 4 during larval development, the full-length cDNA sequence of  LOX 4 was amplified from Pacific oyster ( Crassostrea   gigas ) by using PCR, and the expression characteristics of  Cg LOX4 in different stages of larval development were further analyzed by qRT-PCR and whole-mount immunofluorescence experiments. It was found that the  CgLOX 4 gene had full-length cDNA sequence of 1 862 bp with an open reading frame of 834 bp encoding 277 amino acids, with the isoelectric point of 8.36. The amino acid sequence of  CgLOX 4 gene contained a conserved HOX domain, and  CgLOX 4 gene was expressed in all the tested tissues of adult oyster, with significantly higher expression level in the adductor muscle than that in hepatopancreas, gills, hemolymph, gonad and labial palps tissue ( P <0.05).  CgLOX 4 was expressed in all the examined early embryos, with relatively high expression level in fertilized eggs, and four-cells. The whole-mount immunofluorescence assay revealed that the positive signals of LOX4 were mainly distributed in the shell field of trochophore, the visceral mass of D-shape larvae and the digestive gland of umbo larvae. The findings indicate that  CgLOX 4 gene is one of the transcription factors activated earlier in the early development process of the oyster, and may play an important role in regulating the formation of larval shell and digestive organ.

In order to explore the effects of addition of green alga ( Chlorella   vulgaris ), bacterium ( Bacillus   subtilis ) and mixture of  C.vulgaris  and  B.subtilis  on aquatic environment, growth performance and related enzyme activities of largemouth bass ( Micropterus   salmoides ), juvenile largemouth bass with body weight of (11.71±0.90)g was reared in a 1 000 L polyethylene barrel filled with 800 L water added with  C.vulgaris  (density of 1×10 9  cells/L at 6.25 mL/L)(alga group),  B.subtilis  (1×10 11  CFU/g at 0.75 mg/L) (bacterium group), both  C.vulgaris  and  B.subtilis  (bacterium + alga mixture group), and blank (without any bacterium and alga, control group for days). The results showed that there were generally optimised physical and chemical indices in the water environment in the alga group and bacterium group during the experiment, compared with the blank group, with the relatively small differences in the total nitrogen, total phosphorus and dissolved oxygen contents in each experimental group, while there were considerably varied in the contents of ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen, especially in the water environment in the bacterium + alga mixed group, with the minimal ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen contents in water in most time points ( P <0.05). At the end of the experiment, the largemouth bass in all experimental groups had increase in body weight, weight gain rate, and specific growth rate compared with the blank group, with significant differences in only the bacterium + alga mixture group compared with the blank group ( P <0.05). The hepatic glutathione (GSH) content, and activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and lysozyme (LZM) in general were shown to be significantly increased ( P <0.05), and malondialdehyde (MDA) content to be significantly decreased ( P <0.05), especially in the bacterium + alga mixture group compared with the blank group. To sum up, it can be seen that addition of either  C.vulgaris  or  B.subtilis  to the water environment can improve the water quality, promote the growth and hepatic antioxidant capacity and immunity in largemouth bass, and addition of both the green alga and bacterium at the same time is more effective.

In order to understand the composition and structural characteristics, spatiotemporal distribution pattern and key impact drivers of phytoplankton communities in the Yangtze River Estuary, the characteristics of phytoplankton communities and the relationship between the characteristics of phytoplankton communities and influencing factors were explored based on the survey data of phytoplankton in the Yangtze River Estuary in August (summer) and November (autumn) from 2018 to 2020 by community diversity analysis indicators and generalized additive model (GAM). The results showed that a total of 185 species of phytoplankton were collected in 8 phyla, 99 genera, with the dominant species mainly including  Skeletonema   costatum Aulacoseira   granulata Melosira   sulcata Cyclotella  sp. and  Chlamydomonas  sp., and the main phytoplankton groups including Bacillariophyta, Cyanophyta and Chlophyta, in which  Skeletonema   costatum  had long been overwhelming. There were significantly higher abundance and species of phytoplankton in summer than those in autumn ( P <0.05). In autumn, however, phytoplankton communities showed higher diversity index and richness index and more evenly distributed. Spatially, the average phytoplankton abundance showed the distribution pattern of East Beach >South Branch >North Branch as a whole. The GAM analysis indicated that water temperature (Tem), pH and total nitrogen to total phosphorus ratio (TN/TP) were the environmental factors ( P <0.05) significantly affecting the abundance distribution of phytoplankton in the Yangtze River Estuary in summer, with the maximal contribution rate of 71.86% from TN/TP. Salinity (Sal), dissolved oxygen (DO) and chemical oxygen demand (COD Mn ) were found to be the environmental factors ( P <0.05) significantly affecting the abundance distribution of phytoplankton in the Yangtze River Estuary in autumn, especially the DO contribution up to 48.48%. The findings indicate that there are seasonal differences in the community composition, structure, pattern and influencing factors of phytoplankton in the Yangtze River Estuary, which provides references for understanding of the dynamics of phytoplankton resources in the Yangtze River Estuary.

Fish eggs could be classified into three categories: adhesive, weakly adhesive and non-adhesive, depending on degree of egg adhesiveness. Many commercially important fish spawn as adhesive eggs, and upon contact with water, the outer layer of the chorionic membrane becomes hydrated, and the adhesive substance subsequently becomes activated and sticky. The adhesiveness of eggs is a huge challenge to artificial incubation and breeding technology, and thus the researches on the characteristics and the mechanisms of adhesive eggs are of great significance to the artificial reproduction of fish. Here we reviewed the latest research progress and developments on characteristics and mechanisms of adhesive eggs, and we also compared the effects of various reproduction methods in different fishes. Furthermore, the future and multiple potentials of artificial incubation and reproduction technologies in fishes that produce adhesive eggs are discussed to provide reference for the artificial breeding of adhesive eggs-spawning fishes.

Streptococcus   agalactiae  as one pathogen in tilapia has brought huge economic losses to the tilapia breeding industry due to strong contagiousness and high mortality by the pathogen. This pathogen infects tilapia by different pathways, including cohabitation, oral route, immersion, intraperitoneal and intramuscular inoculation, and is capable of replicating in tilapia bloodstream, penetrating the blood-brain barrier into brain, resulting in meningitis, and passing through the mucus layer of both the stomach and intestine and finally adhered, colonized and invaded the gastrointestinal epithelium, leading to typical histopathological changes, including meningitis, epicarditis, hemorrhage in renal interstitium, multifocal necrotizing splenitis and septicemia in tilapia. The most frequent clinical symptoms of affected tilapia are erratic swimming, exophthalmia, hemorrhage at the operculum, pectoral, and ventral areas and rapidly progressing mortality. Traditional diagnosis methods for the detection of  S . agalactiae  in the host tissues are based on bacterial culture, and DNA-based methods including PCR and loop-mediated isothermal amplification are increasingly used. Molecular typing of  S . agalactiae  strains has been performed by different methods, such as molecular serotyping, amplified fragment length polymorphism, multiple-locus variant-repeat assay, and pulsed field gel electrophoresis, multilocus sequence typing. Virulence genes have faster mutation rates and higher polymorphism than housekeeping genes, and the multi-virulence locus sequencing typing method can be widely used to evaluate genetic variation in  S . agalactiae . At present, aquaculture depends on antibiotics to treat or prevent  S . agalactiae  disease in tilapia. Although these antimicrobials have some benefits, the abuse of antibiotics occurs during tilapia production, leading to the development of antimicrobial-resistant strains. Although vaccination is an alternative method to control streptococcal diseases, few commercial vaccines are currently available for treatment of  S . agalactiae  disease in a large scale tilapia production. This paper comprehensively summarizes the latest research progress and development trends in etiology, epidemiology, pathology, pathogenic mechanism, detection methods, molecular typing, antibiotic resistance and vaccines of  S . agalactiae  in tilapia. The current problems that need to be solved are discussed and valuable measurements are suggested for the prevention and control of  S . agalactiae  disease in tilapia.

With the continuous decline of global fishery resources, fishery agencies and regional fisheries management organizations of various countries use the fishery observer method to promote sustainable fishing, but the human observer method is characterized by so high cost and low coverage as to difficult to meet the management needs. In recent years, detection speed and accuracy have been continuously enhanced due to continuous emergence and improvement of new deep learning algorithms, thus providing conditions for marine fishery fishing production monitoring. The process of building a fishery production monitoring model is introduced from the aspects of data acquisition, data preprocessing, algorithm design, model training, and model accuracy evaluation. The application of deep learning technology in marine fishery fishing is discussed, and methods such as transfer learning or reinforcement learning are proposed in terms of fishing boats and boat behavior, catches, fishery forecasts, crew members, and fishing gear to expand the identification of target species and enhance detection algorithm,and use high-accuracy feature extraction network to improve the accuracy of target classification, to solve the real-time analysis of electronic monitoring data through edge computing technology and to formulate standards and specifications for electronic monitoring fishery management applications and other key research directions in the future, which provides reference for the promotion of deep learning in marine fishery fishing production.

In order to explore possibility of freshwater mussel  Solenaia   oleivira  culture in coastal NaCl saline alkali land or tidal flat, the survival test was carried in the freshwater mussel juveniles with wet body weight of (2.63 g± 0.47 g) exposed to acute stress of fresh water (0.20) and high salinity of 2.00, 3.31, 3.70, 4.24, 4.92, 5.82, and 7.00 using the equal log interval method and 50% of the 96 h half lethal salinity (LC 50 ) as the tolerant salinity. The oxygen consumption rate, ammonia excretion rate, food intake rate and fecal excretion rate were measured in freshwater mussel exposed to these salinities by the indoor hydrostatic method, and then the energy budget equation was established at water temperature of (22±1)℃. The results showed that the dead mussel was observed at salinity of 2.00 at 72 h, and at salinity of 7.00 within 48 h, with LC 50  of 4.47 at 96 h. There were significantly higher oxygen consumption rate, ammonia excretion rate, food intake rate, water filtration rate and fecal excretion rate ( P <0.05), with the decreased slightly lower absorption efficiency ( P >0.05), in the juveniles at stress of high salinity (2.23) than those in the freshwater mussel in the fresh water group ( P <0.05). Under high salinity (2.23) stress, the freshwater mussel had significantly higher energy used for respiratory metabolism and feeding metabolism, with increase in the proportion of respiratory energy ( R ), excretory energy ( U ) and fecal energy ( F ) in feeding energy ( C ), and significant decrease in the proportion of growth energy ( P ) in feeding energy. The energy budget equation was described as 100 C =57 . 22 R +9 . 49 U +9 . 05 F +24 . 23 P  under fresh water and 100 C =62 . 55 R +13 . 99 U +12 . 05 F +11 . 41 P  at high salinity (2.23) stress. The finding indicates that the juvenile firewater mussel  S.oleivira  has a poor tolerance to sodium salt which shows a significant impact on the respiratory metabolism and food metabolism of the mussel. The coastal NaCl type water is within saline alkali land or tidal flat water where the juvenile freshwater mussel culture should be at a salinity of less than 2.23.

 To construct a polar ratio fluorescent probe for accurate detection of biological microenvironment, the probe IA based on naphthalene ring fluorophore was firstly synthesized by introducing malononitrile and N, N-dimethyl group on acenaphthene ketone, and then the polarity responsive ratio fluorescent probe IAN was synthesized by condensation reaction of IA amino group into heterocycle. The molecular structure and mass of probes IA and IAN were characterized by  1 H NMR,  13 C NMR and HRMS, and then the absorption and fluorescence spectra of probes IA and IAN in different polarity solvents were examined and compared by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results showed that IA exhibited single absorption and fluorescence emission peaks and fluorescence intensity of IA was gradually enhanced with solvent polarity increasing. Differently, double absorption and fluorescence emission peaks of IAN were simultaneously detected in solvents ( λ em =474 nm, and 552 nm), and the fluorescence intensity ratio  I 474 nm / I 552 nm  produced a sensitive Boltzmann function response to solvent polarity changes. Compared with IA, IAN was able to respond accurately to environmental polarity changes as a ratio fluorescent probe. The fluorescence intensity of the lesions was shown to be significantly lower than those of the healthy tissues by using IAN on mice with breast cancer and grouper hybrid  Epinephelus   fuscoguttatus ♀× E.lanceolatus ♂ with hepatobiliary syndrome. These findings indicated that amino group undergoing a condensation reaction to generate a heterocycle containing nitrogen atom increased the conjugation degree of lone pair electrons of the nitrogen atom to the π system, so that the probe IAN produced n→π *  and π→π *  molecular transition at the same time, and then enabled the construction of a ratio fluorescent probe responding sensitively to polarity changes.

To investigate the effect of fucoxanthin on blood glucose and possible mechanism in type Ⅱ diabetic mice, the blood glucose and lipid metabolism related indices were determined in the type Ⅱ diabetes model mice established by streptozotocin (STZ). The type Ⅱ diabetes model mice was gavaged with fucoxanthin extracted from seaweed ( Sargassum   horneri ) at a dose of 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg and the inhibition effect of fucoxanthin on α-glucosidase was investigated, and the pathological changes were observed in liver tissues of the mice by Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. The mRNA relative expression levels of cellular PI3K/AKT signaling pathway indicators including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and protein kinase B (AKT), glycogen synthase (GS) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The results showed that the fucoxanthin had inhibition rate of 76.43%±0.83% on α-glucosidase, with the noncompetitive inhibition type, resulting in significantly decrease in the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin (INS), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and in increase in the content of liver glycogen and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) in the diabetic model mice. Histopathological observation showed that the infiltration of liver inflammatory cells was relieved by the fucoxanthin. There was increase in the mRNA expression levels of  PI 3 K AKT GS  and  GLUT 4 mRNA in diabetic mice orally administrated by fucoxanthin. The findings indicated that fucoxanthin regulated blood glucose in mice through PI3K/AKT signaling pathway with dose-dependent relationship, and the best hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects was at 100 mg/kg.

In order to investigate the mechanism of the response of scalloped spiny lobster  Panulirus   homarus  to nitrite stress, the transcriptomics were comparatively analyzed in hepatopancreas of scalloped spiny lobster with body weight of (39.00±5.31)g exposed to under normal conditions   <0.01 mg/L, control group)and to 80 mg/L nitrite stress prepared by NaNO 2  for 7 d by a transcriptomic sequencing approach. The results showed that 264 differentially related genes were screened, with up-regulated 86 and down-regulated 178. GO functional annotation results showed that the annotated differential genes were primarily involved in functions including binding, catalysis and metabolism, and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in focal adhesion, leukocyte transendothelial migration, insulin resistance, tight junctions, and starch and sucrose metabolism pathways. Nine differential genes were randomly selected for qRT-PCR validation, and the fluorescence quantification results were found to be in general agreement with the sequencing results. The findings will provide substantial reference for the research of gene functions in energy metabolism, growth and immunity in scalloped spiny lobster under nitrite stress.

Koi carp Cyprinus carpio with initial body weight of(195.88±0.98)g was fed three kinds of diets,Japanese commercial diet(as control)and the diets containing growth-promoting additive complex(L-carnitine, blood-cell protein meal,Spirulina powder and Bacillus subtilis powder),and pigmentation-promoting additive complex(astaxanthin,spirulina and Bacillus subtilis)at water temperature of(25±1)℃for 60 days with triplication to investigate effects of different additive combination in diets on growth and body pigmentation of koi carp. Growth performance and body pigmentation of koi carp were determined every 15 days during the 60 d experimental period.Results showed that the koi carp fed the diets containing growth-promoting additive complex and Japanese commercial diets showed similar growth performance,with lower food conversion ratio than the koi carp fed the Japanese diets.The diets containing pigmentation-promoting additive complex led to improve the body pigmentation of the red and white koi carp,which is comparable to the koi carp fed the control diets.The similar degree of pigmentation was observed in the koi carp fed both experimental pigmentation diets,indicating that the two experimental diets with different feed additive combination have the equivalent effects with Japanese commercial diets and that can match the standard in promoting the growth and body pigmentation of koi carp.

Influence of stocking density on physiological metabolism function of juvenile Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedti in running water cultivation
Journal of Dalian Ocean University    2017, 32 (4): 393-398.   DOI: 10.16535/j.cnki.dlhyxb.2017.04.003

Juvenile Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedti with initial body weight of 29.70 g±1.32 g were reared in nine square concrete ponds(4.4 m×4.4 m×0.6 m)at stocking density of 2.5 kg/m3(80 ind./m2) (SD1),3.6 kg/m3(115 ind./m2)(SD2),and 4.7 kg/m3(150 ind./m2)(SD3)for 90 days with triplication to investigate the influence of stocking density on hormone,physiological and biochemical components of the juvenile. Cortisol levels were shown to be elevated in the Russian sturgeon reared for 50 d in the experimental groups,significantly higher in the fish reared for 90 d in group SD3 than in SD1 group and SD2 group(P<0.05).The hemoglobin content was found to be significantly and positively correlated with the stocking density(P<0.05).There were significant differences in leukocyte contents at different stocking densities of Russian sturgeon(P<0.05),significantly higher white blood cell count in the juvenile Russian sturgeon in group SD3 than those in group SD1 and group SD2(P<0.05),indicating that the long-term high-density culture of the Russian sturgeon led to physical and pathological damage of the fish by the end of the experiment.The Russian sturgeon juveniles showed a tendency of blood-sugar levels upgrade first then descending,significantly lower in group SD1 than in group SD3 and group SD2(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in levels of total cholesterol and total protein(P>0.05).At the end of the experiment,the juveniles had significantly higher blood triglyceride content in group SD3 than the juveniles in group SD1 did(P<0.05),without significant difference between group SD1 and SD2.The findings indicate that the order of energy utilization in Russian sturgeon was expressed as blood sugar>serum protein>blood lipid.
