生物系统中的对称性

该文是在讨论生物系统中的非线性问题(刘次全等, 1992)的基础上, 进而讨论生物系统的对称性问题. 重点分析了生物系统在分子层次的对称性以及在生命进化和发展中对称性逐步破缺的过程。

Effect of demonstration in transferring fish processing technology

A group of 28 fisherwomen who attended demonstration on three subjects, namely, preparation of fish wafers, fish pickles and fish soup powder showed significant knowledge and skill gain for all the three messages. The total knowledge and skill gain was maximum for preparation of fish wafers followed by that for preparation of fish soup powder and fish pickles.

Status and prospects of mackerel and tuna fishery in Bangladesh

Present status and future prospects of mackerel and tuna fisheries in Bangladesh were assessed during July 2003-June 2004. The work concentrated on the fishing gears, length of fishes, total landings and market price of the catch and highlighted the prospects of the fishery in Bangladesh. Four commercially important species of mackerels and tuna viz. Scomberomorus guttatus, Scomberomorus commerson, Rastrelliger kanagurta, and Euthynnus affinis were included in the study. About 95% of mackerels and tuna were caught by drift gill nets and the rest were caught by long lines (4%) and marine set-bag-net (1%). Average monthly total landing of mackerels and tunas was about 264 t, of which 147 t landed in Cox's Bazar and 117 t in Chittagong sites. Total catches of the four species in Cox's Bazar and Chittagong sites were found to be 956 and 762 t, respectively. The poor landing was observed during January-February and the peak landing was in November and July. Gross market value of the annual landing of mackerels and tunas (1,718 t) was found to be 1,392 latch taka. Nevertheless, the mackerel and tuna fisheries in Bangladesh are increasingly contributing to the marine fish production of the country and have very good potential for further expansion for both domestic and export market.

Study on fish hatchery and nurseries in Mymensingh, Bangladesh

In generally, fish hatchery and nursery owners having both hatchery and nursery facilities were financially stronger, well-educated and well-trained than only nursery ponds owners in Mymensingh aquaculture region. On the other hand, only nursery pond owners were more experienced in fish seed business than only hatchery owners. Most of the owners were satisfied with existing communication facilities. Lack of technical knowledge was one of the major constraints which could be solved by ensuring proper training. This business can be made more profitable providing loan to poor farmers and improving law and order situation.

Assessment of the heavy metals among suspended particulates and dissolved phases in Suez Canal water

The concentrations and distribution of particulate and dissolved heavy metals, viz: Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Fe and Mn have been determined seasonally during 2003 in water samples collected from the Suez Canal. The presented data clarifies that the metals exhibited clear differences in their distribution between particulate and dissolved forms. The concentration of particulate heavy metals ranged between 0.09-3.13, 0.57-15.02, 0.18-3.87, 0.02-0.73, 2.74-49.62 and 0.15-5.08 µg/L for Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Fe and Mn, respectively. In the same respect, these values for dissolved forms were 0.28-4.12, 0.57-9.08, 0.27-2.50, 0.02-1.24, 1.94-42.50 and 0.11-3.65 µg/L. The concentrations of particulate metals viz: Zn, Pb, Cd, Fe and Mn were high was compared to the dissolved forms. Dissolved copper, rather than particulate, showed the highest percentage of total copper. The particulate forms of Pb, Cd, Fe and Mn always had higher concentrations than the dissolved forms during the course of study except in the summer season. The northern part of the Suez Canal at Port Said showed mean concentrations of particulate and dissolved Cu=1.43 and 2.10, Zn=8.61 and 3.17, Pb=1.72 and 1.23, Cd=0.35 and 0.35, Fe= 23.49 and 15.83 and Mn=2.09 and 1.82 µg/L. These high concentrations may be attributed to the greater activities, particularly loading and unloading operations at Port Said harbour s industrial effluents and domestic drainage of Port Said city. In contrast, the Sinai side could be considered as reference site, as it was almost clean, i.e., without harmful outfalls, where Cu=0.16 and 0.56, Zn=2.14 and 0.94, Pb=6.29 and 3.44, Cd=0.055 and 0.088, Fe=6.29 and 3.44 and Mn=0.56 and 0.26 µg/L for particulate and dissolved metals respectively.

不同藏獒群体血液蛋白遗传变异与聚类分析

为了分析不同群体藏獒血液蛋白基因座的遗传变异及藏獒与其他犬种的亲缘关系,试验采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,以青海藏狮犬和青海土种犬为对照,对2个藏獒群体的9个血液蛋白基因座的遗传变异进行了检测。结果表明:河曲藏獒群体内遗传变异较青海藏獒丰富,而两个藏獒群体间的遗传分化程度很低(GST=0.0187);青海藏獒与青海藏狮犬、青海土种犬的遗传关系近于河曲藏獒,并且4个青藏高原犬群在聚类图上形成一个独立的分支,与其他犬种之间遗传关系较远。

丽江拉市海保护区的鱼类区系和现存状态

2001年8、10月和1999年10月在云南丽江拉市海高原湿地自然保护区采得鱼类标本4550号. 结合文献记录, 并用参与式农村评估(PRA)与渔民讨论, 评估各鱼种的生存状态. 初步确定该保护区共有鱼类25种, 隶属5目10科21属. 其中有7个土著种, 18个引入种, 高度濒危或灭绝3种. 首次记录到秀丽高原鳅. 该地鱼类区系主要由引入种组成, 土著种正在消失。

树鼩实验室繁殖的新方法

在实验室笼养条件下将28只健康成年树鼬按1:2或1:3的雄雌比例配对饲养,并每隔3周进行一次检查,通过一年的试验饲养,研究结果表明,这批实验树鼬共受孕45次,分娩37窝,流产2窝,死产3窝,总产仔147只,成活139只,另有3只母树鼦怀孕待产.每只母树鼩产仔2～3窝,每窝2～5仔,幼仔初生体重为(10.4±1.2)g,40日龄断奶体重为(66.2±15.7)g.该方法树鼩繁殖率和成活率极高,成本相对较低且操作简单,是一种值得参考和借鉴的新方法.
