Immunohistochemical method using the strept avidin-biotin-complex （SABC） was employed. All antisera between seven portions of the channel catfish were compared statistically using statistical package for the social science （SPSS）. Five types of DNES ceils were determined： neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive （NPY-IR） cells were demonstrated in both anterior and middle intestine; serotonin （5-HT） immunoreactive cells were detected throughout the whole gastrointestinal tract; vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP） positive cells were at the highest frequency in pylorus; glucagon-immunoreactive （GLU-IR） cells were moderate in number in the fundus and anterior, middle intestine, and no immunoreactivity was determined in the other portions; somatostatin （SOM） positive cells were more abundant in the anterior and middle intestine. The regional distribution and relative frequency of immunoreactive cells in the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus, are essentially similar to those of other fish. However, some characteristics are observed in this species, which further proved that the diversity of the physiological function of DNES cells was based on their morphology.展开更多

Ecological and economic studies of channel catfish were initiated along with the acclimatization and naturalization of this new species. Channel catfish were initially reproduced and reared in the Japan aquaculture fish farm ponds. Offspring from these ponds were used to stock other ponds, industrial fish farms and natural water bodies （lakes） where natural populations were formed. The climatic conditions of Georgia are close to the natural habitat of channel catfish. The number of days with water temperature higher than 20 ℃ is about 120-140, and the accumulated heat reaches up to 2,400-2,792℃. The purpose of targeted acclimatization was for the development of aquaculture-commercial production and recreational fisheries. During the process the method of staged radial acclimatization was applied, which initially included breeding and growing of fishes in aquaculture farms. Offspring produced in hatchery were then introduced into new fish farms and water bodies to develop populations. The water temperature 22-26 ℃ in the ponds are suboptimal for breeding the channel catfish, nevertheless the productivity in ponds is 3 tons/ha, in cages 50-60 kg/m3, and in pools with thermo-regulation of water 100-150 kg/m3. In some trial water bodies, the natural breeding of channel catfishes were observed, proving the existence of independent （self-breeding） populations. This process however was significantly hampered by severe economical hardship occurred in the country during 1990＇s joined with the uncontrolled fishery. The current economical growth in the country also influences the aquaculture sector and many private fish farmers are interested in commercial breeding of channel catfish, scarce population of which still exists in the former experimental water bodies. The bio-technology of rearing the channel catfish, elaborated during the 1980s, is part of the aquaculture curricula in the universities.展开更多
