Morphometry, length-weight relationship and biology of Sepia aculeata (d'Orbigny, 1848) from Mumbai coast, India

Seventeen morphometric characters of Sepia aculeata of Mumbai coast have been studied and the relationships of morphometric characters with dorsal mantle length (DML) were established. The characters compared showed a fair to high degree of correlation ('r' 0.63-0.99). Number of arm suckers and shell rings were related with DML. The shell rings also showed high degree of correlation with DML ('r' 0.79-0.95). However, the relationship between arm suckers and DML was not so good ('r' 0.1-0.4). The length-weight relationship is described as W=0.1821336 L sub(2.801102). Food and feeding analysis confirm the carnivorous feeding behaviour of the species. Mature females found in all months indicate that it has prolonged spawning season with two peaks, september and march-april. Absolute fecundity ranged from 214 to 4143 eggs.

通过生物信息学和系统发育学分析,研究了苦味受体和甜味/鲜味受体的进化途径。结果显示,苦味受体 和甜味/鲜味受体在进化上具有远相关,并且具有不同的进化途径,提示这可能是导致这些受体具有不同功能,传 导不同味觉的原因。

云南保山猪线粒体DNA D loop区序列初步分析

为了解云南保山猪(Baoshan pig)的遗传多样性及其遗传背景，我们测定了19个个体线粒体DNA Dloop高变区1 1 5 363 - 1 5 801片段序列438帅。检测到1。种单倍型，包括8个多态位点，其中5次T/ C转换、1次G/ A转换、1次G/ C颠换和1次A/ T颠换，其A.T.GX碱基的平均含量分别为35.4%.26.9%.13.2%和24.5 %,A+ T含量(62 .3)明显高于G+ C含量(37 .7 %)。对于保山猪的保种及其持续利用有着重要的理论指导意义。

白头叶猴线粒体ND4基因和D-环区的序列及其分类地位初探

用PCR(多聚酶链式反应)扩增方法测定白头叶猴、黑叶猴和菲氏叶猴各1只的线粒体DNA ND4整个基因(1377 bp)和D-环500多bp序列。黑叶猴与菲氏叶猴的ND4基因序列碱基差异数高达123,基于ND4基因的遗传距离值为8.9%;白头叶猴与黑叶猴ND4基因序列间碱基差异数为25,遗传距离值为1.8%。在D-环区域,白头叶猴与黑叶猴间的遗传距离为4.3%,而白头叶猴、黑叶猴两者与菲氏叶猴间的遗传距离则分别高达26.4%和26.0%。分析结果表明,白头叶猴恐怕还只是黑叶猴的一个亚种。从保护遗传学角度看,白头叶猴应被看作一个进化显著性单元(evolutionary significant units, ESU),在动物的保护行动中应得到充分的重视。

鲤属鱼类mtDNA控制区（D-环区）序列的变异性分析

采用PCR-测序技术对我国鲤属7个种、亚种和2个品种共62个个体（其中鲤的样品包括采自长江、黄河、松花江三个水系的共4个种群），进行了mtDNA控制区（D-环区）始自3^端共459bp碱基的序列测定，发现其D-环区3^端至中央保守区之间不似其他鱼类和哺乳类是一个单一的高变区，而是在其内部还插有一段长约110bp的保守区，这很可能是鲤属鱼类mtDNA D-环区自身的一个特点。

Response of fishes to the underwater D.C. field

Response to external electric field (D. C.) of three different varieties of fish namely Puntius ticto, Heteropneustis fossilis and Tilapia mossambica having different anatomical and behavioural characteristics were studied. Clearly distinguished reactions occurred one after another m all the varieties of fish with the increase in field intensity with minor specific variations. These reactions can be broadly classified into initial start (first reaction), forced swimming (galvanotaxis), slackening of body muscle (galvanonarcosis) and state of muscular rigidity (tetanus). The orientation of the organism (projection of nervous element) to the surrounding field has been found to have important bearing on the behaviour reactions. Clearly differentiated anodic taxis and true narcosis set in when fish body axis was parallel to the lines of current conduction. But with greater angle between the body axis and the current lines, fish did not show well marked reactions. Fish body, when perpendicular to current lines responded for anodic curvature and off balance swimming followed by tetanus.

SEROLOGICAL SURVEY OF A CAPTIVE MACAQUE COLONY IN CHINA FOR ANTIBODIES TO SIMIAN TYPE-D RETROVIRUSES

Sera from 510 macaques consisting of Macaca mulatta, Macaca assamensis, Macaca fascicularis, Macaca nemestrina, and Macaca arctoides were investigated for antibodies to simian AIDS type D retrovirus (SRV) by ELISA and Western blot with viral antigens purified from supernatants of SRV-1 infected cell cultures. Of these monkeys, 104 were seropositive by ELISA; only 23 were confirmed by Western blot. The true positive reaction to SRV was found in 15 of 463 (3.2%) M. mulatta and eight of eleven (72.7%) M. assamensis.
