芦苇Phragmites communis Trin. 耐盐变异体的生物学鉴定和快速繁殖以及在海水生态养殖中的应用示范

本文以芦苇野生亲本和耐盐变异体为材料，比较了两者在形态、生理生化以及分子生物学特性上的差异，对耐盐变异体抗盐能力提高的机理作了初步的探讨。为了适应推广芦苇耐盐变异体的需要，进行了耐盐变异体快速繁殖的研究，建立了两种诱导丛生芽的技术系统。对耐盐变异体芦苇在滩涂上的利用作了有益的尝试。结果总结如下： 1．通过对芦苇野生亲本和耐盐变异体的基因组DNA用随机引物扩增分析，发现两者的基因组DNA在序列上存在着一定的差异，并克隆测序了几个对变异体而言是特异的标记序列。 2．生化分析发现，在盐胁迫下，两者在可溶性蛋白上存在着差异，芦苇耐盐变异体在胁迫下分别在20～30 kD和43～66．2 kD之间各有一条特异的蛋白带表达。而且变异体盐胁迫下在同工酶的表达上也与野生亲本有着显著的区别。 3．生理测定发现，芦苇耐盐变异体在200 mmol/L NaCl盐胁迫下光合作用要比野生亲本强，叶绿素测定的结果与此相吻合，在此浓度的胁迫下，变异体叶绿素含量受影响较小，而野生亲本的叶绿素含量明显降低。对两者胁迫前后的离子含量测定发现，虽然K+含量最多，但是植株内离子含量变化最大且增加最多的离子是Na+，而且变异体内Na~+增加的量比野生亲本高得多。另一个变化较大的是游离脯氨酸的含量，其变化情况类似于Na~+，在胁迫后脯氨酸含量增加明显，而且变异体内的增加量比野生亲本高。对变异体进一步的胁迫反应证实了Na+和脯氨酸含量变化与胁迫反应的密切联系。推测它们的这些变化与变异体抗盐能力提高密切相关。 4．将芦苇耐盐变异体的种子苗切去种壳和种子根，以此作为外植体，通过筛选大量的激素组合，最终建立了两种快繁技术系统（MP－A和MP－B）进行丛生芽诱导。两个系统都包含预处理和诱导两个主要步骤，其中预处理培养基激素组合是相同的（NAA 2～5 mg/L + 2,4-D 0.05 ～ 0.1 mg + BA 1mg/L）,而诱导处理的培养基激素组合不同，分别为：MP－A的诱导处理的激素组合是将预处理的激素组合中的2，4－D去除即可;MP－B诱导处理的激素组合为1mg/L NAA + 0.05 ～0.1mg/L 2,4-D + 2～5mg/L BA. 两个系统都获得显著的丛生芽诱导效果。 5．在滩涂水产养殖中引入芦苇种植、发现耐盐芦苇能有效地降低水体污染和病害，实验了两种模式的种养殖方式：围隔模式和混合模式，初步结果表明混合模式效果较好。这一初中初步验证了芦苇对海水养殖的价值，对开发滩涂具有很大的意义，具有创新性。

海州湾前三岛海域栉孔扇贝生态增养殖原理与关键技术

以海州湾前三岛周围海域为研究地点，开展了栉孔扇贝岛屿生态增养殖理论和关键技术研究。调查了海区的地理、水文、水化学环境以及饵料供应能力；现场测定了栉孔扇贝的滤水率，根据扇贝实际生长情况结合水动力学因子评估了该海域的养殖容量；监测了不同养殖模式情况下栉孔扇贝的存活、生长以及污损生物附着情况；利用免疫学指标揭示了各种养殖方式下栉孔扇贝的健康状态；研究了不同水温、扇贝规格对敌害生物捕食的影响；优化了该海域栉孔扇贝的养殖模式和关键技术。主要研究结果如下： 1．查明了前三岛海域理化环境、生物资源等现状。前三岛海域水质优良，生物资源丰富，虽然饵料浓度相对较低，但是该海域海流畅通，水交换条件好，较高的流速可以弥补饵料浓度的不足，适合开展栉孔扇贝增养殖。由于各项理化因子随着时间和水深的变化而发生变化，必须根据实际情况，对养殖模式等进行相应调整，才能获得更高经济和生态效益。 2．较为系统地研究了前三岛海域深水筏式养殖栉孔扇贝生理生态学特征，评估了养殖容量。周年监测了海域的环境因子和栉孔扇贝的生长情况，利用生物沉积法，现场研究了各时期扇贝的滤食作用。结果表明：该海域养殖栉孔扇贝在当年秋、冬季和次年春季生长迅速，夏季生长相对缓慢，周年平均软组织生长速度为11.29 mg/d，平均干贝壳生长速度为48.84 mg/d，扇贝能够于次年年初达到商品规格（6cm）。不同时期栉孔扇贝的滤水率之间差异显著，滤水率随水温的升高和扇贝规格的增大而增加。利用改进的Incze等（1981）的养殖容量模型，评估了该海域养殖容量，结果表明：在现有条件下，各时期沿着海流方向适养区域长度分别为：4.0，4.6，4.7，5.1，4.5和3.2 km，平均为4.35 km。 3．揭示了不同养殖水层栉孔扇贝存活、生长以及免疫指标特征。于2007年夏、秋高温季节监测了5个不同水层（2, 5, 10, 15, 与 20 m）筏式养殖栉孔扇贝的存活、生长以及免疫指标特征。研究表明各水层栉孔扇贝成活率差异显著，其中15 m（78.0%）和20 m（86.7%）成活率要明显高于2 m（62.9%），5 m（60.8%），和10 m（66.8%）；夏季（7~9月）各水层壳高生长速度有较大差异，其中10m （205.0 μm/d）与20 m（236.9 μm/d）要显著高于2，5，和15 m，而秋季（9~11月份）20m生长速度最低，5m水层（262.9 μm/d）要显著高于其他水层；不同水层扇贝软组织生长情况与壳的生长情况类似；扇贝血淋巴SOD活性随着水深的加深而增大，15 和 20 m 养殖的栉孔扇贝ACP活性要高于其他水层，这表明深水养殖栉孔扇贝健康状态要优于浅水层。 4．比较研究了筏式和底播两种养殖方式情况下栉孔扇贝的存活、生长以及免疫指标的周年变化。结果表明夏季栉孔扇贝的生长、免疫酶活性要低于其他季节，扇贝死亡也基本集中于夏季高温季节。除了2008年春季壳高以外，筏式养殖栉孔扇贝的生长、免疫酶活性都要高于底播养殖。实验结束时筏式养殖的成活率（54.6 ± 12.3 %）要显著地低于底播养殖（86.8 ± 3.5 %）。由此可见，在夏季高温季节采取底播养殖提高成活率，然后转为筏式养殖以提高生长速度，这样可以获得更高的产量。 5．研究了日本蟳和多棘海盘车对栉孔扇贝的捕食机制。现场研究表明，成年日本蟳可以捕食壳高小于5.0 cm的栉孔扇贝，捕食强度随着水温的升高而增大，而壳高大于5.9 cm的栉孔扇贝则可以免遭日本蟳的捕食；与栉孔扇贝相比，日本蟳更倾向于捕食贻贝；室内模拟研究表明水温低于10 ℃时，日本蟳对大规格扇贝的捕食作用不明显。相同温度条件下，室内实验日本蟳的捕食强度要低于现场，但其温度系数（Q10）差别不大。室内试验表明多棘海盘车对栉孔扇贝也有很强的捕食作用。提出了提高底播栉孔扇贝成活率的方法，即选择大规格的扇贝在水温较低的秋、冬季进行底播。

Wastewater remediation options for prawn farms - Aquaculture Industry Development Initiative 2002-04.

There are many potential bioremediation approaches that may be suitable for prawn farms in Queensland. Although most share generally accepted bioremediation principles, advocacy for different methods tends to vary widely. This diversity of approach is particularly driven by the availability and knowledge of functional species at different localities around the world. In Australia, little is known about the abilities of many native species in this regard, and translocation and biosecurity issues prevent the use of exotic species that have shown potential in other countries. Species selected must be tolerant of eutrophic conditions and ecological shifts, because prawn pond nutrient levels and pathways can vary with different assemblages of autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms. Generally, they would be included in a constructed ecosystem because of their functional contributions to nutrient cycling and uptake, and to create nutrient sinks in forms of harvestable biomass. Wide salinity, temperature and water quality tolerances are also valuable attributes for selected species due to the sometimes-pronounced effects of environmental extremes, and to provide over-wintering options and adequate safety margins in avoiding mass mortalities. To practically achieve these bioremediation polycultures on a large scale, and in concert with the operations of a prawn farm, methods involving seed production, stock management, and a range of other farm engineering and product handling systems need to be reliably achievable and economically viable. Research funding provided by the Queensland Government through the Aquaculture Industry Development Initiative (AIDI) 2002-04 has enabled a number of technical studies into biological systems to treat prawn farm effluent for recirculation and improved environmental sustainability. AIDI bioremediation research in southern Queensland was based at the Bribie Island Aquaculture Research Centre (BIARC), and was conducted in conjunction with AIDI genetics and selection research, and a Natural Heritage Trust (NHT) funded program (Coast and Clean Seas Project No.717757). This report compilation provides a summary of some of the work conducted within these programs.

Assessing the sustainability of brackish water aquaculture systems in the Phillipines. Working Paper 1: A typology of brackish-water pond aquaculture systems in the Philippines

Aquaculture in the Philippines is a long-standing activity but has witnessed relatively recent, rapid, technical change with the introduction of hatchery technology and commercial feed-mills changing the production possibilities for a fishpond operator. We are confronted with a diversity of aquaculture practices in the coastal areas of the Philippines, with new technologies being incorporated into more traditional systems. As a first step to understanding the sector, we therefore present a typology of farming systems with the motivation of generating domains (farm “types”) over which we can compare performance on a number of indicators. Our typology, restricted to brackish-water pond systems, is constructed using multivariate methods (principal components analysis, cluster analysis). Eight variables are used relating to the management of the farm across all the major factors of production. A stratified net sample of 136 observations provides the data for the analysis, from a farm-level survey carried out between January and June 2003 in the two main brackish-water production regions in the Philippines. We define five farm types from this analysis. In later work we will show how the use of this typology can be used for comparative study of economic, social and ecological performance at the farm-level. [PDF contains 42 pages]

The lowland dry zone of Sri Lanka: site for study of aquaculture development within farmer-managed irrigation systems and methodology for participatory situation appraisal

The aims of this paper are twofold. Firstly to characterise rural poverty and to give a broad overview of the agro-ecological, climatic and socio-economic conditions in Sri Lanka which shape poverty. Secondly to present the methodology employed to screen suitable field research areas and the techniques subsequently used to carry out Rapid Rural Appraisal in two upper-watersheds villages. Also presented are details of a concurrent stakeholder analysis that aimed to investigate the capacity of secondary stakeholders to promote sustainable aquatic resource development and to invite their participation in the formulation of a participatory research agenda.[PDF contains 58 pages]

Modern aquaculture practices for increased fish production in Nigeria

Various modern aquaculture practices applied in fish production especially in Asia are reviewed. The vast Nigerian aquatic medium of numerous water bodies like rivers, streams, lakes reservoirs, flood plains, irrigation canals, coastal swamps offer great potentials for aquaculture production, if optimally utilized. Constraints to modernization of aquaculture in Nigeria among other factors are: 1) a serious shortage of trained manpower; 2) lack of knowledge on profitability of aquaculture as an industry; 3) limited availability of fund (or capital); 4) non-recognition of indigenous trained aquaculture personnel; 5) inadequate data base on the biology and ecological requirements of endemic fish species with aquaculture potentials; 6) insufficient data on production and management techniques; and 7) lack of rational aquaculture development planning. Recommendations are made towards combating these constraints

Sensitivity of sturgeons to environmental hypoxia: a review of physiological and ecological evidence

In this essay, three lines of evidence are developed that sturgeons in the Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere are unusually sensitive to hypoxic conditions: 1. In comparison to other fishes,sturgeons have a limited behavioral and physiological capacity to respond to hypoxia. Basal metabolism, growth, feeding rate, and survival are sensitive to changes in oxygen level, which may indicate a relatively poor ability of sturgeons to oxyregulate. 2. During summertime, temperatures >20°C amplify the effect of hypoxia on sturgeons and other fishes due to a temperature oxygen "squeeze" (Coutant 1987). In bottom waters, this interaction results in substantial reduction of habitat; in dry years, sturgeon nursery habitats in the Chesapeake Bay may be particularly reduced or even eliminated. 3. While evidence for population level effects due to hypoxia is circumstantial, there are corresponding trends between the absence of Atlantic sturgeon reproduction in estuaries like the Chesapeake Bay where summertime hypoxia predominates on a system-wide scale. Also, the recent and dramatic recovery of shortnose sturgeon in the Hudson River (4-bid increase in abundance from 1980 to1995) may have been stimulated by improvement of a large portion of the nursery habitat that was restored from hypoxia to normoxia during the period 1973-1978.
