[Method] The grass carps were treated with hexavalent chromium （Cr^6＋） solution at concentrations of 0, 7.23, 14.47, 28.94 mg/L, and then the content of malondialde- hyde （MDA）, the level of total antioxidative capacity （T-AOC） and the activity of gtu- tathione-S-transferase （GST） in the hepatopancreas of grass carp were determined after 96 hours in different treatment groups. [Result] The content of MDA presented increasing trend with the increase of exposure Cr^6＋ concentrations. The activity of T-AOC increased firstly, then decreased with the increasing Cr^6＋ exposure concentra- tions, showing that the level of T-AOC was induced in tow and medium concentrat ions （7.23 and 14.47 mg/L）, but inhibited in high concentrations （28.94 mg/L）. Among the exposure groups, the level of T-AOC in medium concentration group （14.47 mg/L） was significantly higher than the control （P〈0.05）. Except the low concentration groups （7.23 mg/L） of which the GST activity was slightly induced, the GST activities of the other groups all showed downward trend with increasing Cr^6＋ levels, and the activity of GST in 28.94 mg/L group was significantly lower than the control group （P〈0.05）. [Conclusion] Cr^6＋ could cause large oxidative damage in the hepatopancreas of grass carp, thus poisoning it, and Cr^6＋ may further damage the organizational structure and physiological function of grass carp.展开更多

[ Methods ] A total of 15 microsatellite markers were used to examine gold grass carp population and four grass carp populations[ Yuanjiang （YJ）, Ningxiang （NX） , Honghu （HH） and Xijiang （XJ） ] from the Yangtze River and the Pearl River of China. [ Results] All the 15 microsatellite loei were highly polymorphic, with polymorphism information content （PIC） of 0.763 -0.939. The expected heterozygosity （HE ） of gold grass carp population was 0. 662, lower than those of the four Chinese grass carp populations （HE = 0.85 - 0. 885 ）. The genetic differentiation index （ FST ） between gold grass carp population and YJ, NX, HH, XJ populations were 0. 157 2, 0. 129 5, 0. 147 5 and 0. 114 4, respectively. This suggests that gold grass carp population is highly differentiated from YJ grass carp population （0.15 〈 FST 〈0.25）, while moderately differentiated from other three grass carp populations （0.05 〈 FST 〈 0.15 ）. Gold grass carp population had the closest genetic relationship with XJ population （DA = 0.476 3）, and it showed the farthest genetic relationship with YJ grass carp population （DA = 0. 810 7）. The NJ phylogenetic tree based on genetic distance indicated that four Chinese grass carp populations clustered together as one branch, while gold grass carp population as another. [ Conclusions] Genetic di- versity of gold grass carp population is lower than that of Chinese grass carp population, with relative distant genetic relationship.展开更多
