DIETARY PHOSPHORUS REQUIREMENT OF YOUNG ABALONE, HALIOTIS DISCUS HANNAI INO.

An experiment was performed to determine the dietary phosphorus requirement of the young abalone, Haliotis discus hannai. Five semi-purified diets were formulated to provide a series of graded levels of dietary total phosphorus (0.23%-1.98) from monobasic potassium phosphate (KH2PO4). The brown alga, Laminaria japonica, was used as a control diet. Similar size abalone were distributed in a single-pass, flow-through system using a completely randomized design with six treatments and three replicates each treatment. The abalone were hand-fed to satiation with appropriate diets in excess, once daily at 17:00. The feeding trial was run for 120-d. Survival rate and soft-body to shell ratio (SB/S) were constantly maintained regardless of dietary treatment. However, the weight gain rate (WGR), daily increment in shell length (DISL), muscle RNA to DNA ratio (RNA/DNA), carcass levels of lipid and protein, soft-body alkaline phosphatase (SBAKP), and phosphorus concentrations of whole body (WB) and soft body (SB) were significantly (ANOVA, P<0.05) affected by the dietary phosphorus level. The dietary phosphorus requirements of the abalone were evaluated from the WGR, DISL, and RNA/DNA ratio respectively, by using second-order polynomial regression analysis. Based on these criteria, about 1.0%-1.2% total dietary phosphorus, i.e. 0.9%-1.1% dietary available phosphorus is recommended for the maximum growth of the abalone.

皱纹盘鲍(Haliotis discus hannai Ino)数量性状的相关性与通径分析

为研究皱纹盘鲍各数量性状间的相关性及不同性状对体质量、软体部质量的影响，随机选取161只同一批次3-4龄的皱纹盘鲍，测量其壳长（SL）、壳宽（Sw）、壳厚（SH）、壳质量（SW）、足质量（FW）、软体部质量（MW）和体质量（BW）。计算性状间的相关系数，采用通径分析法计算不同性状对体质量、软体部质量的通径系数和决定系数，定量分析这些性状分别对体质量、软体部质量的影响效应。结果表明：所测各性状与体质量和软体部质量之间的相关系数均达到极显著水平（P＆lt;0.01）；在6个数量性状（壳长、壳宽、壳厚、壳质量、软体部质量、足质量）中软体部质量是影响体质量的主要因素；在体尺性状（壳长、壳宽、壳厚）中壳长对体质量影响最大；在体尺性状和体质量对软体部质量的影响中，体质量起主要作用。去除通径系数检验不显著的性状，利用逐步回归的方法，建立了6个数量性状对体质量的回归方程：BWq=-10.343＋0.255SL＋0.696SW＋0.951MW；体尺性状对体质量的回归方程：BWb=-69.930＋1.427SL＋0.728SH；体尺性状和体质量对软体部质量的回归方程：MB=4.430＋0.798BW-0.174Sw。研究结果为皱纹盘鲍的种质资源保护和选育工作提供一定的理论依据。

Genetic parameter estimates for growth traits at early stage of Pacific abalone,Haliotis discus hannai Ino

Heritability and genetic and phenotypic correlations were estimated for juvenile growth traits of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino. The estimates were calculated from shell length and shell width measurements on progeny resulting from 12 half-sib families and 36 full-sib families obtained using artificial fertilization of mating three females to each male. The measurements were taken at 10, 20 and 30 d after fertilization. It was found that heritability estimates based on sire component ranged from 0.23 to 0.36 for shell length and 0.21 to 0.32 for shell width. Heritability estimates from dam component were larger than those from sire component at three ages, indicating presence of maternal effects, non-additive genetic effects and common environmental effects. Phenotypic correlations were significant at three ages （P 〈 0.05）, with values of 0.92, 0.93 and 0.92, respectively. Genetic correlations from the paternal half-sib correlation analysis were highly positive at three ages, with values of 0.50, 0.78 and 0.81, respectively. The results suggest that selective breeding is an effective approach to improving growth traits of Pacific abalone stocks.

Heterosis and combining ability:a diallel cross of three geographically isolated populations of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino

We conducted a complete diallel cross among three geographically isolated populations of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino to determine the heterosis and the combining ability of growth traits at the spat stage.The three populations were collected from Qingdao(Q) and Dalian(D) in China,and Miyagi(M) in Japan.We measured the shell length,shell width,and total weight.The magnitude of the general combining ability(GCA) variance was more pronounced than the specific combining ability(SCA) variance,which is evidenced by both the ratio of the genetic component in total variation and the GCA/SCA values.The component variances of GCA and SCA were significant for all three traits(P<0.05),indicating the importance of additive and non-additive genetic effects in determining the expression of these traits.The reciprocal maternal effects(RE) were also significant for these traits(P<0.05).Our results suggest that population D was the best general combiner in breeding programs to improve growth traits.The DM cross had the highest heterosis values for all three traits.

Acclimation-dependent expression of heat shock protein 70 in Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino) and its acute response to thermal exposure

Heat shock protein 70 （Hsp70） is one important member of heat shock protein （Hsp） family that is responsible for various stresses, especially thermal stress. Here we examined the response of Hsp70 gene to both chronic and acute thermal exposure in Pacific abalone （Haliotis discus hannai Ino）. For the chronic exposure, abalones were maintained at 8, 12, 20, and 30∩ for four months and their mRNA levels were measured. The highest mRNA level of Hsp70 gene relative to actin gene was detected in the 30~C-acclimated group, followed by the 8~C-acclimated group and then the 12~C- and 20~C-acclimated groups. After the long-term acclimation, gills from each of the above acclimation groups were dissected and exposed to different temperatures between 8~C and 38~C for 30 min. Hsp70 expression in gills acclimated to different temperatures responded differentially to the same temperature exposure. The incubation temperature that induced maximum Hsp70 mRNA expression was higher in the higher temperature acclimation groups than lower temperature groups. Pacific abalones could alter the expression pattern of Hsp70 gene according to environmental thermal conditions, through which they deal with the stress of thermal variations.

INDUCTION OF LARVAL SETTLEMENT AND METAMORPHOSIS OF HALIOTIS DISCUS HANNAI INO(GASTROPODA,MOLLUSCA)

Conspecific foot mucus,excessive[K^+] and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) showed different metamorphosis-inductive effect on the veliger of Haliotis discus hannai.The inductive effect of excessive [K^+]and GABA was developmental stage-dependent and dose-dependent,while that of conspecific foot mu-cus was only developmental stage-dependent.At 20℃ the veliger larvae became competent within 4 daysafter fertilization H.discus hannai larvae showed gregarious settlement pattern on the conspecific foot mu-ous under the conditions of either presence or absence of KCI or GABA.The present studies showed that the effect of conspecific foot mucus on abalone larvae metarnorphosis could be dose-independent.

Experimental evaluation of heterobeltiosis and heterosis between two populations of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino

A2 × 2 factorial cross between two populations of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino, collected separately from Dalian （D） in China and Miyagi （M） in Japan, was conducted to compare performances in fertilization rate, hatching rate, metamorphosis rate and growth at days 20, 43, 160 and 330 between purebreds （DD and MM） and crossbreds （DM and MD） and investigate the magnitude of heterobeltiosis （better parent） and heterosis （mid-parent）. Heterobeltiosis and heterosis for all the traits analyzed were evidently different between crossbreds DM and MD. Heterobeltiosis in the crossbred DM varied among traits, with values of 2.5% for the fertilization rate, 2.2% for the hatching rate, - 1.9% for the metamorphosis rate and 7.4% for the growth at the day 330. The crossbred DM displayed positive heterotic values for fertilization rate （5.4%）, hatching rate （7.4%）, metamorphosis rate （7.6%） and growth （ 12.0% ） at the day 330. However, both heterobeltiosis and heterosis for all the traits in the crossbred MD were negative except those for the growth at days 20 and 43. The results indicate the importance of selecting superior hybrid varieties if the exploitation of hybrid vigor is considered in the Pacific abalone breeding program.

Effects of dietary menadione on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino

A 240-day growth experiment in a re-circulating water system was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary menadione on the growth and antioxidant responses of abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino. Triplicate groups of juvenile abalone (initial weight: 1.19 ± 0.01 g; shell length: 19.23 ± 0.01 mm) were fed to satiation with 3 semi-purified diets containing 0, 10, and 1 000 mg menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB)/kg, respectively. Results show that there were no significant differences in the rate of weight gain or in the daily increment in shell length of abalone among different treatments. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR) in viscera were significantly decreased with dietary menadione. However, activities of these enzymes except for GPX in muscle were increased. Therefore, antioxidant responses of abalone were increased in muscle and decreased in viscera by dietary menadione.

Effects of dietary vitamin A on antioxidant responses of abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino

A 240 d growth experiment was conducted in a re-circulated water system to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin A on growth and antioxidant responses of abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino. Triplicate groups of juvenile abalone [ initial mass was （0.96±0. 02） g, shell length was （17.70±0.06） mm] were fed to satiation one of three send-purified diets containing 0, 1×10^3, 1×10^6 IU vitamin A per kilogram diet, respectively. Results showed that the daily increment in shell length （DISL） of abalone in the treatment with 1 × 10^3 IU vitamin A per kilogram diet was significantly higher than that with 0 or 1 × 10^6 IU vitamin A per kilogram supplementation （P 〈 0.05）. Vitamin A deficiency （0 IU/kg） significantly elevated the activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, glutathione peroxidase （GPX） and glutathione reductase （GR） in the viscera of abalone （P 〈 0.05）. In muscle, the effects of vitamin A deficiency on SOD and GPX activities were the same as those in viscera, however, the activity of GR significantly decreased （P 〈 0.05）. Vitamin A deficiency significantly decreased the ratio of CAT to SOD （eatalase/superoxide dismutase） in viscera （P 〈 0.05）. Nevertheless, it significantly decreased the ratio of GR to GPX in muscle （P 〈 0.05）. Compared with the supplement of 1 x 103 IU vitamin A per kilogram, excessive vitamin A （ 1 × 106 IU/kg） had no significant effects on the activities of CAT, SOD and glutathione-S-transferase （GST） （P 〉 0.05）, but significantly elevated GPX and GR activities in viscera （P 〈 0. 05）. In muscle, the activities of CAT, SOD, GPX, GST and GR were significantly decreased by the excessive dietary vitamin A supplement （P 〈 0.05）. Compared with the supplement of 1×10^3 IU vitamin A per kilogram, vitamin A-excessive had no significant effect on the value of ratio of CAT to SOD either in viscera or in muscle （ P 〉0.05 ）. The ratio of GR to GPX was significantly decreased in viscera, but significantly elevated in muscle in the vitamin A-excessive group （P 〈 0.05 ）. In conclusion, optimum supplement of vitamin A （ 1 × 103 IU/kg） was beneficial for abalone to maintain maximum growth and antioxidant system. Hypoor hyper-vitaminosis A would decrease growth and the efficiency of scavenging reactive oxygen species （ROS） of abalone.

AVAILABILITY OF PHOSPHORUS FROM SELECTED INORGANIC PHOSPHATES TO JUVENILE ABALONE,HALIOTIS DISCUS HANNAI INO.

The availability of phosphorus to juvenile abalone, Haliotis discus hannai from primary, secondary and tertiary calcium phosphate, primary sodium or potassium phosphate separately or in combination was determined in a 120-day feeding trial. Seven semi-purified diets were formulated to contain relatively constant dietary phosphorus, ranging from 0.78%-0.82%. The concentrations of dietary phosphorus were presumed to be slightly below the requirement for abalone. A brown alga, Laminaria japonica, was used as a control diet. Abalone juveniles of similar size (average weight 1.18 g; average shell length 18.74 mm) were distributed in a single-pass, flow-through system using a completely randomized design with eight treatments and three replicates each treatment. The survival ranged from 71.1% to 81.1%, and was not significantly (P>0.05) related to dietary treatment. However, the weight gain rate (41.72%-65.02%), daily increment in shell length (36.87-55.07 μm) and muscle RNA-DNA ratio (3.44-4.69) were significantly (P<0.05) affected by dietary treatment. Soft body alkaline phosphatase activity (10.9-19.8 U/g wet tissue) and carcass levels of lipid (7.71%-9.33%) and protein (46.68%-49.35%) were significantly (P<0.05) responsive to available phosphorus of the diets. Dietary treatment had significant effect (P<0.05) on concentrations of phosphorus in the whole body (WB) and soft body (SB). Apparent digestibility coefficients (45%-97%) of phosphorus were also significantly (P<0.05) different between dietary treatments. The results indicated that among these inorganic compounds, primary calcium, potassium and sodium phosphates separately or in combination could be utilized effectively by juvenile abalone as dietary phosphorus sources (availability ranging from 87%-97%). However, secondary and tertiary calcium phosphates were found to be low in availability, the values being 45% and 77%, respectively.

Effects of Dietary Carbohydrates Sources on Lipids Compositions in Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary carbohydrates on triglyceride, cholesterol and fatty acid concentrations in abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino. Six semi-purified diets with different carbohydrates （dextrin, heat-treated wheat starch, wheat starch, corn starch, tapioca starch and potato starch, respectively）, all containing a carbohydrate level of 33.5%, were fed to abalone （initial shell length： 29.98mm±0.09mm; initial weight. 3.42g±0.02g） for 24 weeks in a recirculation system. The results indicate that serum triglyceride concentrations were significantly （P〈0.05） higher in the abalone fed with dextrin, heat-treated wheat starch and wheat starch than those fed with corn starch, and serum cholesterol concentrations were significantly （P〈0.05） higher in the abalone fed with dextrin, heat-treated wheat starch than those fed with corn starch. Fatty acid C20：4n-6 in the foot mus- cles were significantly （P〈0.05） lower in the abalone fed with dextrin than those fed with wheat starch, corn starch, tapioca starch and potato starch. Fatty acid C20：4n-6 in hepatopancreas was significantly （P〈0.05） lower in abalone fed with heat-treated wheat starch than those fed with corn starch, tapioca starch and potato starch. Fatty acid C22：6n-3 in the foot muscles were significantly （P 〈 0.05） lower in the abalone fed with dextrin and beat-treated wheat starch than those fed with wheat starch and potato starch.

Dietary guaiacol improves the growth of juvenile abalone,Haliotis discus hannai Ino

We conducted a preliminarily study on the effects of dietary guaiacol on growth performance of abalone, Haliotis discus hannai Ino. Seven semi-purified diets were formulated with graded levels of guaiacol （0, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1 000 mg kgl）. Abalone （initial weight： 0.29 ± 0.01 g; initial shell length： 8.55 ± 0.27 mm） were fed with these diets in a re-circulated water system for 152 days. Guaiacol significantly improved the specific growth rate （SGR） （P〈0.05）; excessive dietary guaiacol （1 000 mg kg1） led to significantly high mortality （P〈0.05）, and lipid content in the soft body increased significantly after dietary guaiacol （P〈0.05）. Activities of catalase and phenoloxidase （PO） in the viscera were significantly stimulated by dietary guaiacol （P〈0.05）. Broken-line analysis based on SGR indicated that the minimum dietary guaiacol for the optimal growth of juvenile abalone is 15.43 mg ·kg^-1.

皱纹盘鲍(Haliotis discus hannai)不同群体贝壳形态和相对生长变异研究

皱纹盘鲍是我国重要的渔业资源,其地理群体也是我国重要的鲍种质资源来源。不同地理群体间形态及相对生长的差异对皱纹盘鲍资源管理和种质资源鉴定等提供重要参考。以我国自然海区采集的7个皱纹盘鲍群体作为研究材料,通过测定9个形态测量指标并定义了这些测量指标间的17个比率变量,分析了群体内和群体间贝壳形态和体重相对生长的变异。除个别变量外,协方差分析揭示形态比率变量在群体间存在显著变异;异速生长研究揭示了壳形态特征与皱纹盘鲍群体中异速生长差异之间的高度线性相关性,异速生长程度呈现一定的群体区别。非度量多维尺度分析(NMDS)和马氏距离聚类分析(CLUSTER)将皱纹盘鲍群体分为2个组,线性判别分析(LDA)与NMDS和CLUSTER结果相符,然而LDA未能较好的将各种群样本分类。研究结果初步表明皱纹盘鲍表现出与我国沿海环境和/或生态条件差异相关的表型可塑性,然而这种表型差异也可能受到人工底播苗种的遗传影响。研究结果将对于皱纹盘鲍渔业资源管理如管理单位的界定,以及为今后全面评价皱纹盘鲍不同地理群体的遗传变异等提供参考。

皱纹盘鲍(Haliotis discus hannai)不同部位肌肉的蛋白分布特性

为了更好地了解鲍鱼的原料学属性,分析测定了皱纹盘鲍腹足肌肉三部位(闭壳肌、过渡区和裙边)的营养成分、蛋白组成及分布,并用光学显微镜观察了三部位肌肉的组织结构。结果表明,三个部位中闭壳肌部分的水分含量最低,而粗蛋白与粗脂肪最高;三部位中盐溶性蛋白与非蛋白氮含量较高,水溶性蛋白含量最低,裙边的肌基质蛋白的含量约为过渡区的2倍,闭壳肌部分的3倍,胶原蛋白含量丰富;SDS-PAGE中闭壳肌与过渡区部分蛋白分布相似,蛋白组成比裙边部分丰富;光学显微镜图中肌原纤维与胶原纤维的分布与蛋白含量测定结果一致,且肌肉纤维的横截面与纵截面中肌纤维的形态有所差异。鲍鱼三部分肌肉性质存在差异,研究结果可为鲍鱼的进一步加工和开发提供理论参考和实践依据。
