[Method] The isozyme of AAT, EST, α-GPD, GPI, IDH, LDH, MDH, ME, PGM and PROT of muscles and liver in two populations of the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix): Jin silver carp (a breed through selective breeding) and artificially propagated population bought from Jingzhou city, Hubei Province were examined by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. [Result] Eighteen loci were observed in two populations. Two loci of GPI* and PGM* in Jing silver carp population and the locus of GPI* in Jingzhou population were polymorphic. The proportions of polymorphic loci (maximum allele frequency≤0.99) of Jing silver carp and Jingzhou populations were 11.11% and 5.56% respectively, expected heterozygosity were 0.015 0 and 0.001 1 respectively. The Nei’s genetic distances were 0.000 59 between two populations. The result of chi-square test of the GPI* gene in two populations showed that their genetic structure has very significant difference. [Conclusion] This study provided a theoretical basis for large-scale extension of Jing silver carp.展开更多

The effectiveness of the filter-feeding silver carp on phytoplankton control and the effect of silver carp on phytoplankton community were investigated. The results showed that Microcystis could be effectively removed by silver carp stocked in the pre-sedimentation pond, and simultaneously, the concentration of single-cell phytoplankton increased obviously. The difference in phytoplankton species and single- cell phytoplankton size between in the water and in the gut of silver carp indicated that phytoplankton smaller than 5 μm, such as Chamydomonas and Platymonas, were almost not be filtered by silver carp, phytoplankton with the size between 5 and 20μm could be partly filtered, and large size phytoplankton, mainly colony-forming Microcystis could be filtered almost completely. These filter- feeding characteristics directly caused the phytoplankton size distribution biased toward miniaturization. Therefore, this biological treatment using silver carp could be applied only to deal with groups of Microcystis-dominated eutrophic water, and was not appropriate in water bodies where single-cell micro phytoplankton were dominant. Especially when silver carp are used in water treatment, a cautious attitude should be taken based on the evaluation of phytoplankton biomass and species structure features in raw water.展开更多

In this study, we presented a preliminary result on screen for stage-specific expression genes between tail bud stage (TBS) and heartbeat beginning stage (HBS) in gynogenetic silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). Two SSH plasmid libraries specific for TBS embryos and HBS embryos were constructed, and stage-specific expression genes were screened between the two stages. 1963 TBS positive clones and 2466 HBS positive clones were sampled to PCR amplification, and 1373 TBS and 1809 HBS PCR positive clones were selected to carry out dot blots. 169 TBS dot blot positive clones and 272 HBS dot blot positive clones were sequenced. Searching GenBank by using these nucleotide sequences indicated that most of the TBS dot blot positive clones could not be found homologous sequences in the database, while known genes were mainly detected from HBS dot blot positive clones. Of the 79 known genes, 20 were enzymes or kinases involved in important metabolism of embryonic development. Moreover, specific expressions of partial genes were further confirmed by virtual northern blots. This study is the first step for making a large attempt to study temporal and spatial control of gene expression in the gynogenetic fish embryogenesis.展开更多

A total of 16 OCPs were measured and the concentrations were in the range of 1.61-69.01 ng/g wet weight（ww） for total OCPs, 0.16- 0.75 ng/g ww for HCB. 0.75 -26.80 ng/g ww for SHCH（sum of α-,β-, γ- and δ-HCH） and 0.68-35.94 ng/g ww for SDDT（ sum of p, p＇-DDE, p, p＇-DDD, o, p＇-DDT and p, p＇- DDT）. The mean concentrations of total OCPs, HCB, ∑HCH, and ∑DDT were 18.04, 0.96, 7.14 and 9.28 ng/g ww, respectively. Among the organochlorine pesticides, β-HCH and p, p＇-DDE were the most dominant compounds in tissue and organ with the average concentrations of 4.42 and 8.14 ng/g, respectively. The results obtained in this study show that the levels of 16 OCP residues found in silver carps are low and pose no threat to human health and wildlife fed upon them on the basis of existing related quality guidelines. However, recent input of lindane and DDT might still exist in the area investigated and further investigation should be carried on.展开更多

A balanced gut microbiota is crucial for growth and health of the host because of its important roles in immune defense, digestion of complex carbohydrates, and production of enterocytes. In our study, the dominant bacterial and cellulolytic bacterial （Clostridium 1, Clostridium 111, Clostridium XIVab, and Fibrobacter） communities in the contents and mucus of the silver carp gut （foregut, midgut, and hindgut） were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction （qPCR） analyses. The results revealed that the dominant and cellulolytic bacterial communities were significantly different among gut regions as well as in contents and mucus. Bacterial diversity and richness in contents and mucus increased along the gut and were higher in contents than those in local mucus. A sequence analysis of gut samples exhibited the conservative phylotypes of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes. The gut of silver carp harbored an abundance of cellulolytic bacteria, particularly Clostridium XIVab. The foregut segment had the highest proportions of the four cellulolytic bacteria, followed by the midgut and hindgut. However, the proportions of cellulolytic species in the silver carp gut was much lower than those in the terrestrial vertebrate gastrointestinal tract. We conclude that gut bacteria could help silver carp obtain energy from cyanobacteria, which may be why silver carp can maintain high growth rates during cyanobacterial blooms.展开更多

文摘Background Hypoxia is a pervasive challenge in aquaculture that poses a significant threat to aquatic organisms.Since fish cannot synthesize vitamin A endogenously,it must be supplied through diet,and it plays a vital role in supporting fish stress resistance.This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of VA on the gills of adult grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella)against hypoxia and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods Six experimental diets with graded VA levels(375,862,1,614,2,099,2,786,and 3,118 IU/kg)were fed to grass carp(initial weight:726±1.2 g)for 60 d.After the trial,24 fish per treatment were selected,divided equally into normoxic and hypoxic groups,fasted for 24 h,and then subjected to a 96-h acute hypoxic challenge.Results The results demonstrated that VA supplementation mitigated hypoxia-induced damage in gill tissue,as evidenced by histological examination.Furthermore,VA alleviated oxidative stress,as indicated by reduced levels of lactate(LD),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),reactive oxygen species(ROS),protein carbonyl(PC),and malondialdehyde(MDA).Further investigations indicated that VA alleviated mitochondrial stress,potentially through suppressing the canonical UPR^(mt) axis while activating both the UPR^(mt) sirtuin axis and the UPRIMS/Erα axis.VA also modulated mitochondrial mass via multiple mechanisms,including the promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis,maintenance of dynamics by stimulating fusion and reducing fission,and inhibition of mitophagy.The suppression of mitophagy likely involved downregulating both the Pink1/Parkin-dependent pathway and the Hif1a-Bnip3 pathway.Taken together,these adaptations suggested an essential role for VA in preserving mitochondrial homeostasis.Based on the quadratic regression analysis of ROS and MDA levels from the hypoxic group,the estimated VA requirements for adult grass carp were 2,013 and 2,056 IU/kg diet,respectively.Conclusions In summary,this study provided the first evidence that VA conferred protective effects against hypoxiainduced gill damage in grass carp.

文摘The flotation separation of argentite from sphalerite using ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate(ADD)was studied.Molecular simulation(MS)calculation shows that ADD is chemisorbed on argentite and sphalerite surface in the form of S—P bond.The ADD adsorption on argentite and sphalerite surface in Ag^(+)system was revealed by ICP,Zeta potential and XPS analyses.It is shown that the dissolved Ag^(+)from argentite surface can be absorbed on sphalerite surface in the form of silver hydroxide,and AgOH hydrophilic colloid prevents the adsorption of ADD on sphalerite surface.The ADD adsorption on argentite and sphalerite surface in the pulp containing silver and zinc ions was revealed by adsorption capacity and surface wettability analyses.It is shown that the combined Zn(OH)_(2) and AgOH hydrophilic colloid leads to greater ADD adsorption capacity on argentite surface and stronger surface hydrophobicity than sphalerite.Flotation tests demonstrate that ADD enables efficient separation of argentite from sphalerite in the pulp containing silver and zinc ions.

文摘Background As living standards improve,consumers are placing greater emphasis on the enhancement of fish flesh quality,making its improvement increasingly critical.Plant-derived polysaccharides positively affect the improvement of animal flesh quality.Panax ginseng leaf polysaccharides(PGLP)have a similar composition and lower cost compared with Panax ginseng root polysaccharides.However,its function and application effects in grass carp(Ctenopharyngodon idella)are unclear.Methods A total of 540 sub-adult grass carp(679±1.29 g),one of the important economic fish species,were used as experimental models and fed diets supplemented with 0,100,200,300,400,or 500 mg/kg PGLP for 60 d.After 60 d,grass carp were weighed,and their muscles were collected to explore the effects of PGLP on the growth and development of myofibers and energy metabolism-related parameters.Results Our study found that PGLP increased the growth performance and muscle nutritional composition as well as improved muscle hardness,springiness,cohesiveness,chewiness,and hyperplasia of myofibers of sub-adult grass carp.Besides,PGLP promoted muscle energy metabolism by increasing creatine,glycogen,pyruvate,and acetyl-CoA contents and creatine kinase(CK),pyruvate kinase(PK),phosphofructokinase(PFK),and hexokinase(HK)activities,while decreasing lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)activity and lactate content in fish muscle.Finally,our study found that PGLP enhanced mitochondrial function by increasing the protein expression of mitochondrial complexes I–V,biogenesis,and fusion and decreasing autophagy and fission in fish muscle.Conclusions PGLP improved growth performance and flesh quality of sub-adult grass carp,which may be related to enhancing hyperplasia of myofibers by promoting energy metabolism.We concluded that the recommended amount of PGLP in sub-adult grass carp feed to optimize growth performance is 100–200 mg/kg.This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of PGLP in fish feed and for the analysis of the mechanism of nutrition and feed regulating fish flesh quality,which is of great significance.

文摘Understanding how genetic variation within forest species influences growth responses under climate change is essential for improving the accuracy of forest models and guiding adaptive management strategies.This study models the dynamics of Italian silver fir(Abies alba)forests under varying climate change scenarios using the forest gap model FORMIND.Focusing on three distinct silver fir provenances(Western Alps,Northern Apennines,and Southern Apennines),the study simulates forest growth in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park under different representative concentration pathways(RCPs).The individual-based model FORMIND was parameterized and validated with field data for each of the provenances,demonstrating its ability to accurately reproduce key forest metrics and dynamics.Our results reveal significant differences in expected growth patterns,productivity,metabolism,and carbon storage capacity among the silver fir provenances in pure and mixed stands.In the simulations,the Northern Apennines provenance showed higher biomass production(biomass>10%±1%)and carbon uptake(net primary productivity,NPP>8%±1%)at the end of the century compared to the Western Alps provenance in the pure provenance(PP)and no regeneration scenario.Conversely,the Southern Apennines provenance showed higher biomass(biomass>5%–10%)and NPP(>15%–18%)in mixed provenance(MP)and regeneration scenarios.These results show that genetic diversity strongly affects forest growth and resilience to environmental changes.Hence,it should be included as a predictor variable in forest models.The study also demonstrates the resilience of silver fir to climatic stressors,emphasizing its potential as a robust species in multiple forest contexts.The integration of forest provenance data into the FORMIND model represents a significant advancement in forest modelling,enabling more accurate and reliable predictions under climate change scenarios.The study's findings advocate for a greater understanding and consideration of genetic diversity in forest management and conservation strategies,in support of assisted migration strategies aiming to enhance the resilience of forest ecosystems in a changing climate.

文摘The efficient electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol(GLY)is one of the most promising routes for the valorization of GLY.Doping has emerged as a powerful strategy to tailor the electrocatalytic performance of silver nanoclusters(Ag NCs),yet the effects of doping mode(surface vs.core)and the interface environment(e.g.,electrolyte concentration)on the electrocatalytic performance for Ag NCs toward GLY oxidation remain understood.In this work,surface-doped Ag_(4)M_(2)(SR)_(8) and core-doped Ag_(24)M(SR)_(18)(M=Ni,Pd,Pt;SR=SPhMe_(2))NCs were synthesized for electrocatalytic GLY oxidation.The results revealed a strong dependence of selectivity on doping mode and electrolyte concentration:under low KOH concentration,Pd-and Pt-doped Ag_(4)M_(2) NCs exhibited 100%selectivity toward oxalic acid(OA),whereas Pd-and Pt-doped Ag_(24)M NCs delivered>95%selectivity for formic acid(FA).In contrast,under high KOH concentration,Pd-and Pt-doped Ag_(4)M_(2) NCs gave rise to>80%FA,while Pd-and Pt-doped Ag_(24)M NCs produced>45%FA.Mechanism studies indicated that Ni doping predominantly enhanced catalytic activity via lowering the activation barrier of the initial reaction step(GLY→glyceraldehyde),whereas Pd and Pt doping modulated selectivity through reducing the energy barrier of the selective branch step(glyceric acid→OA,OA→FA).High KOH concentration promoted the oxidation by increasing the electrochemical active surface area and facilitating electron transfer of Ag NCs.This study provides clear guidance for designing high-performance Ag-based electrocatalysts for biomass valorization.
文摘[Objective] The aim was to carry out isozyme analysis of jin silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Var Jing). [Method] The isozyme of AAT, EST, α-GPD, GPI, IDH, LDH, MDH, ME, PGM and PROT of muscles and liver in two populations of the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix): Jin silver carp (a breed through selective breeding) and artificially propagated population bought from Jingzhou city, Hubei Province were examined by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. [Result] Eighteen loci were observed in two populations. Two loci of GPI* and PGM* in Jing silver carp population and the locus of GPI* in Jingzhou population were polymorphic. The proportions of polymorphic loci (maximum allele frequency≤0.99) of Jing silver carp and Jingzhou populations were 11.11% and 5.56% respectively, expected heterozygosity were 0.015 0 and 0.001 1 respectively. The Nei’s genetic distances were 0.000 59 between two populations. The result of chi-square test of the GPI* gene in two populations showed that their genetic structure has very significant difference. [Conclusion] This study provided a theoretical basis for large-scale extension of Jing silver carp.

文摘Silver carp were introduced into the pre-sedimentation pond to control excessive phytoplankton in raw water. The effectiveness of the filter-feeding silver carp on phytoplankton control and the effect of silver carp on phytoplankton community were investigated. The results showed that Microcystis could be effectively removed by silver carp stocked in the pre-sedimentation pond, and simultaneously, the concentration of single-cell phytoplankton increased obviously. The difference in phytoplankton species and single- cell phytoplankton size between in the water and in the gut of silver carp indicated that phytoplankton smaller than 5 μm, such as Chamydomonas and Platymonas, were almost not be filtered by silver carp, phytoplankton with the size between 5 and 20μm could be partly filtered, and large size phytoplankton, mainly colony-forming Microcystis could be filtered almost completely. These filter- feeding characteristics directly caused the phytoplankton size distribution biased toward miniaturization. Therefore, this biological treatment using silver carp could be applied only to deal with groups of Microcystis-dominated eutrophic water, and was not appropriate in water bodies where single-cell micro phytoplankton were dominant. Especially when silver carp are used in water treatment, a cautious attitude should be taken based on the evaluation of phytoplankton biomass and species structure features in raw water.

文摘A systemic study was initiated to identify stage-specific expression genes in fish embryogenesis by using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique. In this study, we presented a preliminary result on screen for stage-specific expression genes between tail bud stage (TBS) and heartbeat beginning stage (HBS) in gynogenetic silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). Two SSH plasmid libraries specific for TBS embryos and HBS embryos were constructed, and stage-specific expression genes were screened between the two stages. 1963 TBS positive clones and 2466 HBS positive clones were sampled to PCR amplification, and 1373 TBS and 1809 HBS PCR positive clones were selected to carry out dot blots. 169 TBS dot blot positive clones and 272 HBS dot blot positive clones were sequenced. Searching GenBank by using these nucleotide sequences indicated that most of the TBS dot blot positive clones could not be found homologous sequences in the database, while known genes were mainly detected from HBS dot blot positive clones. Of the 79 known genes, 20 were enzymes or kinases involved in important metabolism of embryonic development. Moreover, specific expressions of partial genes were further confirmed by virtual northern blots. This study is the first step for making a large attempt to study temporal and spatial control of gene expression in the gynogenetic fish embryogenesis.

文摘The concentration of organochlorine pesticides（OCPs） in tissues and organs of silver carp（Hypophthalmichthys mofitrix） from Guanting Reservoir were investigated to evaluate the pollution potential and distribution of OCPs. A total of 16 OCPs were measured and the concentrations were in the range of 1.61-69.01 ng/g wet weight（ww） for total OCPs, 0.16- 0.75 ng/g ww for HCB. 0.75 -26.80 ng/g ww for SHCH（sum of α-,β-, γ- and δ-HCH） and 0.68-35.94 ng/g ww for SDDT（ sum of p, p＇-DDE, p, p＇-DDD, o, p＇-DDT and p, p＇- DDT）. The mean concentrations of total OCPs, HCB, ∑HCH, and ∑DDT were 18.04, 0.96, 7.14 and 9.28 ng/g ww, respectively. Among the organochlorine pesticides, β-HCH and p, p＇-DDE were the most dominant compounds in tissue and organ with the average concentrations of 4.42 and 8.14 ng/g, respectively. The results obtained in this study show that the levels of 16 OCP residues found in silver carps are low and pose no threat to human health and wildlife fed upon them on the basis of existing related quality guidelines. However, recent input of lindane and DDT might still exist in the area investigated and further investigation should be carried on.

文摘Dam discharges over spillways are the main reason for the gas-supersaturated water generated in rivers.Local aquatic organisms,especially fish,readily develop gas bubble disease(GBD) in a river with total dissolved gas supersaturation(TDGS).Sometimes,fish will die after a specific exposure period,which negatively affects the biological equilibrium.In this study,the influence of TDGS on silver carp was explored.Silver carp were exposed to gas-supersaturated water with TDGS levels of 140%,135%,130%,125%,120%,and 110%to test the impact of TDGS.Some silver carp died when the TDGS level was 120%or higher,and all the silver carp exposed to a TDGS level of 140%died within10 h.In comparison with the Chinese sucker,Prenant's schizothoracin,and rock carp,silver carp seem less sensitive to TDGS.In addition,we tested the catalase(CAT) activity in the muscles and gills of silver carp after they were exposed to gas-supersaturated water with a TDGS level of140%.The CAT activity changed with time;it increased first and then decreased until it was lower than the initial CAT activity.The results of this study can provide basic data for developing a standard for environmental evaluation.

文摘Multivariate analysis was adopted to analyze 30 morphometrical characteristics of 121 one-year-old juvenile silver carp(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)and bighead carp(Aristichthys nobilis)bred during the 1950s("the former population")and 2008("the current population")and collected from the middle reach of the Yangtze River.The average discriminant accuracies of the former and current silver and bighead carp population were 94.2%and 98.0%,respectively.Discriminant analysis also revealed that significant differences in morphology occurred between the former and current populations of both carp in overall characteristics.One-way analysis of variance indicated that between former and current populations,silver carp showed highly significant differences(P0.01)in twelve of their characteristics and significant differences(P0.05)in eight of their characteristics,while bighead carp showed highly significant differences(P0.01)in eight of their characteristics and significant differences(P0.05)in eight of their characteristics.Six head morphology variables of the current silver and bighead carp were significantly or highly significantly larger than the former populations;fourteen characteristics of silver carp and ten characteristics of bighead carp of the current populations,mainly reflecting truck and tail morphology,were significantly or very significantly smaller than the former populations.Our results indicate that silver and bighead carp have developed a larger head and smaller truck and tail during the last 50 years.Due to such morphological changes,it seems apparent that the heads of these fish species need to be considered in regards to human diets,particularly in relation to economic and nutritious value.
文摘Study of the feeding capacity of silver carp and bighead carp by means of experimental ecologyshowed that the filtering frequency of silver carp was slightly greater than that of bighead carp,but thatthe latter’s suction volume was much greater than the former’s so the filtering rate(filtering frequency mul-tiplied by the suction volume)of silver carp was smaller than that of bighead carp.The filtering efficien-cy of silver carp for phytoplankton was greater than that of bighead carp for them.The removal ratesof silver carp for phytoplankton were greater than those of bighead carp,but for zooplankton the formerwere smaller than the latter.For food particles about 70 μm both removal rates were almost equal.The feeding habits of the two species in natural waters is also discussed in the paper.

文摘Silver carp mediated biological control techniques are often advocated for controlling cyanobacteria blooms in eutrophic water,which are often enriched with arsenic(As).How-ever,the transfer and fate of As during the biological control of cyanobacteria blooms by silver carp in As-rich eutrophic water remain unclear.Based on the simulated ecosystem experiment,the accumulation of As in silver carp and the transfer and fate of As in the water-algae-silver carp system during Microcystis aeruginosa blooms controlled by silver carp were investigated.Microcystis aeruginosa showed high tolerance to As(V).The accumulation of As in different tissues of silver carp was different,as follows:intestine>liver>gill>skin>muscle.After silver carp ingested As-rich Microcystis aeruginosa,As accumulation in the intestine,liver,gill,and skin of silver carp was enhanced under the action of digestion and skin contact.Compared with the system without algal,As accumulation in the intestine,liver,gill,and skin of silver carp increased by 1.1,3.3,3.3,and 9.6 times,respectively,after incubation for 30 days in the system with Microcystis aeruginosa,while the accumulation of As in the muscle was only slightly increased by 0.56 mg/kg.This work revealed the transfer and fate of As during algal control by silver carp,elucidated the accumulation mechanism of As in water-algae-silver carp system,enriched our understanding of As bioaccumulation and transformation in As-rich eutrophication water,and provided a scientific basis for as-sessing and predicting As migration and enrichment in water-algae-silver carp system.

文摘Silver carp is one of the most important planktivorous fish in Chinese aquaculture and plays a significant role controlling cyanobacterial blooms. A balanced gut microbiota is crucial for growth and health of the host because of its important roles in immune defense, digestion of complex carbohydrates, and production of enterocytes. In our study, the dominant bacterial and cellulolytic bacterial （Clostridium 1, Clostridium 111, Clostridium XIVab, and Fibrobacter） communities in the contents and mucus of the silver carp gut （foregut, midgut, and hindgut） were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction （qPCR） analyses. The results revealed that the dominant and cellulolytic bacterial communities were significantly different among gut regions as well as in contents and mucus. Bacterial diversity and richness in contents and mucus increased along the gut and were higher in contents than those in local mucus. A sequence analysis of gut samples exhibited the conservative phylotypes of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes. The gut of silver carp harbored an abundance of cellulolytic bacteria, particularly Clostridium XIVab. The foregut segment had the highest proportions of the four cellulolytic bacteria, followed by the midgut and hindgut. However, the proportions of cellulolytic species in the silver carp gut was much lower than those in the terrestrial vertebrate gastrointestinal tract. We conclude that gut bacteria could help silver carp obtain energy from cyanobacteria, which may be why silver carp can maintain high growth rates during cyanobacterial blooms.
文摘The effect of various concentrations of nitrobenzene on the mortality and abnormality rate of bighead and silver carp embryos were studied to provide reference for the evaluation of the effect of nitrobenzene to aquatic organisms and aquatic environment. The results showed that the development of bighead and silver carp embryos was delayed, the mortality and abnormality rates were raised when the embryos were treated with ≥0.010 mg·L^-1 nitrobenzene, and with ≥0.085 mg· L^-1 nitrobenzene, the mortality rates showed 100%
