We isolated a 936-bp partial c DNA sequence of the C lock gene( Pva- clock) from the darkbarbel catfish P elteobagrus vachelli that exhibited high identity with C lock genes of other species of fish and animals(65%–88%). The putative domains included a basic helix-loop-helix(b HLH) domain and two period-ARNT-single-minded(PAS) domains,which were also similar to those in other species of fish and animals. P va- Clock was primarily expressed in the brain,and was detected in all of the peripheral tissues sampled. Additionally,the pattern of P va- Clock expression over a 24-h period exhibited a circadian rhythm in the brain,liver and intestine,with the acrophase at zeitgeber time 21:35,23:00,and 23:23,respectively. Our results provide insight into the function of the molecular C lock of P. vachelli.展开更多

Strain YER6022 was isolated from Pelteobagrus vachelli and identified using bacterial morphology and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Five virulence factors were detected, then artificial infection experiment and histopathological method were carried out. These results showed that strain YER6022 was one of Y. enterocolitica family members. In addition, ail, ystb, virF, yadA and HPIint were dectected. In artificial infection experiment, with 80% mortality and 100% morbidity, injected Pelteobagrus vachellis showed red swollen of the anus, abdomen swelling and fim bleeding. There existed serious hyperaemia and edema in kidney, spleen, intestine and liver at the light microscope. Ultrastructural observation indicated that mitochondria of the liver, kidney, spleen and intestine swelled and mitochondrial cristae broke. The data had further shed light on its pathogenicity in Pelteobagrus vachelli. It would benefit for further studies on pathogenesis ofPelteobagrus vachelli infected with Y. enterocolitica.展开更多

Based on pure lines of yellow catfish,super-males and physiological females of yellow catfish were selected by GMT technique,hormonal sex reversal method and test-crossing to establish the germplasm bank of YY physiological females( YY♀). The propagation system of male yellow catfish( XY♂) was established based on the combination of super-males( YY♂) and pure-line female( XX♀) for large-scale production of pure-line yellow catfish males,which effectively overcome the disadvantages in the production of common fingerlings and male fingerlings using low-grade fish with slow growth and small size at the bottom of the fish grader as broodfish,such as progeny germplasm degeneration,loss of growth vigor and reduction of breeding benefits. The technical route of breeding pure-line YY physiological females( YY♀) and YY super-males( YY♂) laid the foundation for large-scale production of environmentally friendly yellow catfish males with pure germplasm and strong stress resistance,and provided an efficient,stable,healthy,environmentally friendly,energy-saving and income-increasing approach for sustainable development of yellow catfish breeding industry.展开更多
