The result showed that body length, weight, fatness, feeding rate, specific growth rate of red crucian carp juvenile were significantly inhibited from fishing stress compared with the control group, and the magnitude of the inhibitory effect increased with the time going and increased. Fishing stress could increase the food conversion rate of red crucian carp juvenile, and the different intensity stress had no significant different influence. The intestinal protease activity decreased in the beginning, then increased, and was consistent with the level of the control group ultimately. High-stress group accelerated the decline of intestinal amylase activity of the juvenile. The stress increased the number of immunoglobulin of juvenile red crucian carp significantly, but the increase disappeard with the stress time extended.展开更多

Two experiments were conducted for determination of an optimal dietary astaxanthin and FM (fish meal) ration for koi carp juveniles. In the first experiment, three isonitrogenous and isoenergetic dietary treatments were designed with three different levels of astaxanthin consisted of 60, 80 and 100 mg/kg and a commercial feed served as a control. For the second experiment, four isonitrogenous and isoenergetic dietary treatments were formulated with graded inclusions of dietary FM replaced from 0% to 60% at 20% increments by SM (soybean meal), PBM (poultry by-product meal), and a CD (control diet). Obtained results demonstrated that skin pigmentation of koi carp juveniles fed the diet containing 80 mg/kg astaxanthin, 36.02% protein, 7.78% lipid, 4.20 Kcal/g GE (gross energy) were more better than those at the diet with lower estaxanthin content and commercial diet. Moreover, the highest growth and feed utilization of fish were observed at this diet with WG (weight gain), SGR (specific growth rate) and FCR (feed conversion ratio) were 121.80%, 0.95 (%/day) and 1.6, respectively.展开更多

The juvenile rock carp were exposed to water with different levels of supersaturation (105%, 115%, 120%, 125%, 130%, 135%, 140%, and 145%) and depth of 0.20 m at 25℃ for 60 h. Median lethal time (LT50) was used to assess the lethal responses corresponding to different levels of gas supersaturation. The results show that half of the juvenile rock carp died at the 120%, 125%, 130%, 135%, 140%, and 145% levels of supersaturation, and the LT50 corresponding to different levels of supersaturation was 18.7, 15.4, 8.2, 6.6, 3.5, and 1.7 h. When the level of supersaturated water is below 115%, the mortality is negligible. Avoidance responses were observed 5 min after the fish were put into equilibrated water (99%, 0.08 m deep) and water with different supersaturated levels (105%, 115%, 125%, 135%, and 145%, 0.08 m deep) at 25 ℃. The fish exhibited strong avoidance responses in supersaturated water when the gas supersaturation was above 135%. However, they exhibited an obvious preference to supersaturated water when the gas supersaturation was below 115%. Thus, the juvenile rock carp can likely survive in water with a supersaturated level of 115%.展开更多
