These primers successfully recognized all virulent strains of Vibrio alginolyticus, but the avirulent strains were not recognized by the multiplex PCR because of lack of the collagenase and toxR genes. In a 50 mu L multiplex PCR mixture, the lowest detection limit is 8.8 x 102 cells of virulent strains of V. alginolyticus. The multiplex PCR method was successfully developed to identify virulent strains of V. alginolyticus, and provides a rapid, sensitive, specific and reliable technology for diagnosing virulent strains of V. alginolyticus. Therefore, the novel multiplex PCR in the present paper can be useful for any laboratory working with vibriosis detection of aquatic animals.

A reference diet (RF) and test diets (consisting of 70% RF diet and 30% of the feedstuff) were used with 0.5% chromic oxide as an external indicator. A total of 1440 shrimp (initial mean body weight 1.05 +/- 0.01 g) were randomly stocked into thirty-six 500-L fibreglass tanks with 40 shrimp per tank and three tanks per diet. Faeces were collected from triplicate groups of shrimp by a faecal collection vessel attached to the shrimp-rearing tank. The shrimp were fed to apparent satiation four times a day and the feeding experiment lasted for 6 weeks. Statistics indicate that apparent DM digestibilities for white shrimp (L. vannamei) were the highest for FM, ranged 52.83-71.23% for other animal products and 69.98-77.10% for plant products. The protein and lipid from plant and animal sources were well digested by white shrimp. Apparent protein and lipid digestibility were in the range 87.89-93.18% and 91.57-95.28%, respectively, in plant products, and 75.00-92.34% and 83.72-92.79%, respectively, for animal products. The white shrimp demonstrated a high capacity to utilize phosphorus in the ingredients. The apparent phosphorus digestibility ranges of animal feedstuffs and plant feedstuffs were 58.90-71.61% and 75.77-82.30% respectively. Amino acid availability reflected protein digestibility, except that in MBM, for which the availability of some amino acid was lower, possibly due to protein damage during processing. Digestibility information could promote the use of ingredient substitution in least-cost formulated diets for white shrimp.

Liu, Jun Lin, Yuehe TI Glucose Oxidase-graphene-chitosan modified electrode for direct electrochemistry and glucose sensing RID B-9281-2008 RID D-9762-2011 SO BIOSENSORS & BIOELECTRONICS AB Direct electrochemistry of a glucose oxidase (GOD)-graphene-chitosan nanocomposite was studied. The immobilized enzyme retains its bioactivity, exhibits a surface confined, reversible two-proton and two-electron transfer reaction, and has good stability, activity and a fast heterogeneous electron transfer rate with the rate constant (k(s)) of 2.83 s(-1). A much higher enzyme loading (1.12 x 10(-9) mol/cm(2)) is obtained as compared to the bare glass carbon surface. This GOD-graphene-chitosan nanocomposite film can be used for sensitive detection of glucose. The biosensor exhibits a wider linearity range from 0.08 mM to 12 mM glucose with a detection limit of 0.02 mM and much higher sensitivity (37.93 mu A mM(-1) cm(-2)) as compared with other nanostructured supports. The excellent performance of the biosensor is attributed to large surface-to-volume ratio and high conductivity of graphene, and good biocompatibility of chitosan, which enhances the enzyme absorption and promotes direct electron transfer between redox enzymes and the surface of electrodes.

The objective of our work was to determine the content and composition of lipids and fatty acids in the different tissues of cobia from China and to evaluate their nutritional value. The results showed that cobia from China was rich in lipids; the neutral lipid content was above 82%; the content of cholesterol and phospholipid was low. Eighteen fatty acids were identified. Myristic (C14:0), palmitic (C16:0), and stearic acids (C18:0) were the main saturated acids; palmitoleic (C16:1n-7) and oleic acid (C18:1n-9) were the main monounsaturated fatty acids. EPA and DHA were the main PUFA; n-3 and n-6 PUFA were present as 12-18% and 2.6-3.2% of the total fatty acids, respectively. The n-6/n-3 ratio was in the range from 0.18 to 0.22, which was far lower than that (5:1) recommended by WHO/FAO. Therefore, cobia lipids from China have a high nutritional value.

The effects of snail grazing on the growth of V. spiralis were assessed in a no-snail control and at three snail densities (80, 160, 240 individuals m(-2)). Results showed that the snails chose preferentially leaves covered by periphyton. Grazing activity at low snail density (80 individuals m(-2)) was found to stimulate V. spiralis growth, but at higher snail density (240 individuals m(-2)), plant growth was apparently suppressed. An increase observed in nutrient concentrations in water column with increasing snail density may be attributed to nutrient release by snails. This study suggests that the nature of the relationship between herbivorous snails and macrophytes in freshwater ecosystems depends on the abundance of the snails. At low snail density, the relationship may be a mutualistic one, but at high density snail herbivory may impact negatively on macrophyte biomass in lakes. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The populations were collected from Beihai, Sanya, and Xiamen. A total of 71 polymorphic sites defined 16 distinct haplotypes. The mean haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity of the three populations were 0.9354 +/- A 0.0168 and 0.0035 +/- A 0.0018, respectively. Analysis at the intrapopulation level showed that the Beihai population had the greatest haplotype and nucleotide diversity, followed by the Xiamen and Sanya populations. Analysis of molecular variance showed significant genetic differentiation among the three populations (Fst = 0.0796, P < 0.05). The present results revealed that S. nudus populations had a high level of genetic diversity and distinct population structures.

Yang, Ting-Bao TI Population genetic structure and historical demography of grey mullet, Mugil cephalus, along the coast of China, inferred by analysis of the mitochondrial control region SO BIOCHEMICAL SYSTEMATICS AND ECOLOGY AB Population genetic structure and historical demography of grey mullet, Mugil cephalus, along the coast of China were examined with a 389-bp segment of mtDNA control region. In total, 117 samples were collected from seven locations and 77 haplotypes were obtained. No haplotype was concurrently presented in all the samples, and samples in Southern and Northern regions had distinctly different haplotypes. Sorting of the data cladistically into phylogenetic trees indicated that these haplotypes can be divided into two main clades. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated significant genetic differentiation among subpopulations in different regions (phi(CT) = 0.9505, p < 0.01). The average pairwise differences and phi(ST) values (0.8943-0.9464) between regional populations were significant. The net Tumura and Nei genetic distance (0.5577 +/- 0.1421) between the two groups was large. The deep and unique divergence between the two groups suggested that each group is likely to represent a distinct species. In contrast to the great genetic divergence on a broad scale, small but significant population subdivisions at a less spatial scale were also detected both in Southern and Northern regions, which support the conclusion that M. cephalus has limited dispersal potential. High haplotype diversity (h = 0.8716 +/-0.1462) and low nucleotide diversity (pi = 0.0046 +/- 0.0030) were found among the three Northern samples. Among the four Southern samples, however, extraordinarily high levels of both haplotype diversity (h =0.9886 +/- 0.0057) and nucleotide diversity (pi = 0.0425 +/- 0.0212) were detected. The different polymorphisms suggest an apparent distinguishing demographic history between regionally Southern and Northern populations, though mismatch distribution analyses and neutrality tests implied a late Pleistocene population expansion of both Northern and Southern populations.

Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets (48% crude protein and 15MJ kg(-1) diet) using wheat starch as the carbohydrate source, were formulated to contain six carbohydrate levels. Triplicate groups of 45 animals (initial average weight, 168.39 +/- 0.69 mg) were stocked in 120-1 tanks and fed to apparent satiation twice daily for 10 weeks. Growth performance and feed utilization were significantly affected by dietary carbohydrate level. Maximum weight gain and specific growth rate occurred at 20% dietary starch inclusion, survival and soft body to shell ratios were not significantly different among diets. There were significant differences in protein, lipid, moisture and glycogen content in soft body. Glycogen content in soft body was positively correlated with dietary starch level. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase were significantly affected by dietary starch level, with both peaking in the 20% treatment; however, there were no significant differences in 6-phosphofructokinase activity in any treatment. Quadratic regression analysis of weight gain against dietary starch level indicated that the optimal dietary carbohydrate level for maximum weight gain of juvenile spotted babylon is 27.1% of dry diet.

The finite volume method is used to discretize the governing equations of the gas phase. Inter-particle interactions are taken into account through the hard-sphere approach. The numerical models for the solid phase were implemented as a separate module in FLUENT by overcoming some limitations of the user-defined function approach. A multifaceted numerical strategy was developed to enhance the computational efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of the model to capture many important characteristics such as bubbling, spouting, particle clustering and core-annulus flow structures in gas-solid systems at specified operating conditions.

The results indicated that the yield of ASC was 39.4% on the basis of dry weight. This ASC was rich in glycine (35.6%). The amount of imino acids, proline and hydroxyproline, in ASC was 210 residues per 1000 residues. The ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum of ASC showed that the distinct absorption was at 220 run. ASC showed transition curve at maximum temperature of 32.0 degrees C in 0.05 M acetic acid, about 12 degrees C lower than that of calf skin collagen. Maximum solubility (0.75 mg/ml) in 0.5 M acetic acid was observed at pH 3. Solubility reached the minimum at pH 7. A sharp decrease in Solubility was observed in 2% (w/v) NaCl or above.

The free-living bacterial diversity was analyzed through the construction of 16S rDNA clone library. A total of 203 16S rDNA sequences from three clone libraries were classified into 118 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), of which 51, 31, and 42 OTUs were distributed in the ED, PV, and HDS pond, respectively, with Bacteroidetes (30.6%), Actinobacteria (55.2%), and Cyanobacteria (32.8%) as the dominant division in the respective ponds. Meanwhile, each pond occupied some unique OTUs that were affiliated with uncommon (sub-) phyla, such as candidate OP11 division, Acidobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Planctomycetes, and Verrucomicrobia. Bacterial diversity in the ED pond was the richest, followed by the HDS and the PV pond. OTUs of 61.9% and 94.9% have less than 90% and 97% similarity to their nearest neighbors in public databases, respectively. All OTUs were grouped into 67 clusters, covering 11 (sub-) phyla. The OTUs only from single pond distributed in 53 clusters (79.1%), the OTUs shared by two ponds were affiliated with 14 clusters (20.9%), and none of clusters was formed by the OTUs which commonly originated from the three pond libraries, suggesting that the composition of bacterial populations in these ponds were significantly different. These results indicate that the aquatic environment created by different mariculture animals may foster very special and complex bacterial communities.

A novel chaotic image encryption algorithm based on Toeplitz matrix and Hankel matrix is proposed in this paper. We shuffle totally the positions of image pixels to confuse the relationship between the plain image and cipher image combined with Toeplitz matrix, Hankel matrix and logistic chaotic system. Another hyper-chaos system of Chen's chaotic system is taken to change the grey values of image pixels to enhance the security further. Experimental results in Sections 3 and 4 demonstrate that the key space is large enough and the key is sensitive to initial conditions to resist the brute force attack in the proposed algorithm. Additionally, the distribution of grey values in encrypted image has a random-like behaviour to resist statistical analysis.

The 3 kDa ultrafiltration filtrates (UF-IV) of the desalted hydrolysate exerted a potent ACE inhibitory activity with IC50 being 0.67 mg mL-1. The fractions with molecular weight located between 611 and 240 Da achieved a total percentage of 63.6% in the UF-IV, with a mean peptide length of about 5.6-2.1. Gastrointestinal digestions were simulated on the hydrolysate and UF-IV and addressed their effect on the ACE inhibitory activity. The ACE inhibitory activity of the UF-IV could survive or be maintained in active form by simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Furthermore, the UF-IV exerted potent antihypertensive effect after oral administrations were given to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at a dose of 900 mg kg-1 body weight. In conclusion, the UF-IV could serve as useful antihypertensive peptides in the prevention and treatment of hypertension and other associated disorders.

From the measurements and calculation of isothermal magnetization at different temperatures, we discovered that the maximum magnetic entropy change at T(C) (358 K) increases near linearly with magnetic field increasing and shows no sign of saturation even under 5 T; moreover, a comparatively large magnetic entropy change with broader peak temperature range around the Curie temperature is also observed, and this good performance may be related to the large surface and interface of nanoparticles.

In this study, the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was employed to analyze population genetic diversity and genetic distance between different populations with the aim of elucidating the population structure and gene flow of M. cephalus along the coast of China. A total of 230 fragments with 150-500 bp were identified from 118 individuals by five AFLP primer combinations. The polymorphic loci within populations varied from 46.52% to 64.78%, with an average of 53.91%, and the average heterozygosity from 0.1829 to 0.2282, with an average of 0.2074. The UPGMA phenograms of 118 individuals were constructed based on Dice similarity coefficients and four clusters were recognized. AMOVA analysis revealed that 60.7% of genetic variations were within populations and 39.3% between populations. The estimated genetic distance (phi(ST)) value over all polymorphic loci across the six populations was 0.393 (p < 0.0010), indicating a strong population structuring. The pairwise phi(ST) value ranged from 0.1112 to 0.5358, with an average of 0.3693. The population pairwise gene flows (average N(m) = 0.73) are low. In addition, the result of the Mantel test showed that there was a significant correlation between geographic and genetic distances (r = 0.5434, p = 0.0050). It was speculated that there exist at least four distinct geographic populational subdivisions of M. cephalus along the Chinese coast. This research has provided new molecular data which will aid our understanding of the genetic structure of this species. Crown Copyright (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

From the magnetic measurements as function of temperature and magnetic applied field, we have discovered that the Curie temperature (TC) of the prepared samples is found to be strongly dependent on Gd content. The Curie temperature of samples is 358.4, 343.2, and 285.9 K for x = 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2, respectively. A large magnetocaloric effect close to T(C) has been observed with a maximum of magnetoentropy change in all the samples, |Delta S(M)|(max) of 1.96 and 4.90 J/kg K at 2 and 5T, respectively, for a substitution rate of 0.15. In addition, the maximum magnetic entropy change observed for samples with different concentration of Gd, exhibits a linear dependence with the applied high magnetic field. These results suggest that (La(0.67-x) Gd(x))Sr(0.33)MnO(3) (x = 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) compounds could be a suitable candidate as working substance in magnetic refrigeration near room temperature.

The morphology, thermal stability and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. The results show that the crystal structure of starch in the composite disappears after modification with esterification, and the starch particles with an average size around 200 ran homogenously disperse throughout the natural rubber (NR) matrix. The thermal stability of composite is improved significantly after the modification with starch. The mechanical properties of composite are enhanced with the increase of starch loading. The composite possesses the best properties at the starch xanthate content of 20 parts per hundred rubber (phr). The enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties of modified starch/NR composite are mainly due to the improved phase interface interactions between rubber and starch.

High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometric method was used to replace the traditional N-terminal amino acid sequence combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and ESIMS to measure the molecular masses of fragments obtained from the hydrolyzation and determine the hydrolytic active sites. Four fragments with molecular mass of 10093.0, 10388.0, 6876.0 and 6581.0 were obtained, corresponding to fragment of Glyl-91, Glyl-Ala94, Ser92-Gly153 and Thr95-Gly153 respectively. The results indicated that Cu(II) can degrade myoglobin through anchoring to the side chain of His93 which is detached from iron, and breaks the second peptide bonds of both upstream and downstream: Gln91-Ser92 and Ala94-Thr95. The active site of Gln91-Ser92 has been observed in other studies of protein hydrolysis by Cu(II) compounds, however, the site of Ala94-Thr95 is a new active site located at the N-terminal of Thr in His93-Ala94-Thr95 sequence.

To overcome this problem, we took the transgenic approach combined with the elicitation technique to increase the flavonoid production. The Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch cDNA encoding chalcone isomerase gene (chi) was over-expressed in hairy roots of G. uralensis Fisch mediated by the disarmed Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4. Stable genetic transformation was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. The transgenic and wild cultures were subsequently elicited with PEG8000 (2%) alone, yeast extract (YE) (0.1%) alone, or both of them, and then the total flavonoids were extracted and measured. The results showed that over a culture period of 3 weeks, the wild-type hairy roots, the untreated transgenic hairy roots, and the double-treated transgenic hairy roots accumulated 0.842, 1.394, and 2.838 (g/100 g DW) of total flavonoids, respectively. Moreover, the enhanced accumulation of flavonoids were correlated with the elevated level of chi transcripts and CHI activity, confirming the key role of chi in the flavonoids synthesis. This research demonstrated that the combination of the metabolic engineering and PEG8000-YE elicitation treatment was an effective strategy to increase the flavonoids production in hairy roots of G. uralensis Fisch.

Wethers were stratified by weight and randomly assigned to four dietary treatments, which included a control diet containing 5.60 mg Cu/kg DM, the control diet supplied. respectively, with 10, 20 and 30 mg Cu/kg DM (total dietary Cu level of 5.60, 15.6, 25.6 and 35.6 mg/kg DM). The experiment lasted 50 days including a 10-day preliminary trial and 10-day metabolism trial. Average daily feed intake (ADFI) did not differ among treatment groups (P>0.05), except that the supplement providing 30mg Cu/kg DM decreased average daily gain and gain efficiency (P<0.05). Copper supplementation had no influence on digestibility of DM, CP and ADF (P>0.05), however, NDF digestibility of the treatment group supplemented with 30 mg Cu/kg DM was lower compared with that of other groups (P<0.05). Length and growth rate of cashmere fiber were higher in the treatment group supplemented with 20 mg Cu/kg DM compared with other groups (P<0.05), but cashmere diameter was not affected by Cu supplementation (P>0.05). In conclusion, supplementation of Cu at the levels of 10, 20 and 30 mg/kg DM to the basal diet containing 5.60 mg Cu/kg DM had no influence on ADFI or nutrient digestibility of DM, CP and ADF in cashmere goats, while 30mg Cu/kg DM supplementation had a negative effect on growth performance and NDF digestibility. However, 20 mg Cu/kg DM supplementation of the basal diet enhanced cashmere growth. Hence, the appropriate supplemental level during the cashmere slow-growing period is deemed to be 20mg Cu/kg DM (total dietary Cu level of 25.6 mg/kg DM). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Pinctada martensii meat protein was hydrolysed using seven proteases, with pancreatin showing the most protein recovered (90.30%) and the highest degree of hydrolysis (30.22%). In addition, pancreatin treatment liberated aromatic amino acids (AAA) and preserved branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in the peptide chain more efficiently than other proteases. In our enzymatic hydrolysis system, the AAA are adsorbed by activated carbon much easier in the form of proteins and peptides compared with the free state. The fraction purified from the pancreatin hydrolysate after adsorption onto activated carbon gave a yield of 38.42% based on nitrogen content. It was composed primarily of low molecular weight peptides and had a Fischer ratio of 24.58, with phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr) content below 1.2%. This oligopeptide mixture can be used for the assistance treatment of patients with hepatic encephalopathy, phenylketonuria and tyrosinemia according to different dietetic requirement.

The results show that the annual transports through the four straits Luzon Strait, Taiwan Strait, Sunda Shelf and Mindoro Strait are -4.5, 2.3, 0.5 and 1.7 Sv (1 Sv=10(6) m(3)s(-1)), respectively. The Mindoro Strait has an important outflow that accounts for over one third of the total inflow through the Luzon Strait. Furthermore, it indicates that there are strong seasonal variations of water transport in the four straits. The water transport through the Luzon Strait (Taiwan Strait, Sunda Shelf, Mindoro Strait) has a maximum value of -7.6 Sv in December (3.1 Sv in July, 2.1S v in January, 4.5Sv in November), a minimum value of -2.1 Sv in June (1.5 Sv in October, -1.0 Sv in June, -0.2 Sv in May), respectively.

A total of 222 individuals of bighead white croaker, Pennahia macrocephalus were sampled seasonally in the mouth of the Beibu Gulf, the South China Sea, in 2007. Since there are no significant differences in sagittal OW between otolith in pairs (Pa parts per thousand yen0.05), the undamaged left sagittal otolith is used for age determination. The highest correlations among standard length, OW and fish ages are confirmed by linear, exponential and multinomial regression. Results show that sagittal OW overlaps only occasionally among age groups, and to individuals with similar standard length, the older and slower-growing fish has a heavier otolith because of the continued otolith material deposition. There are differences in sagittal OW among different age groups and significant positive linear relationship with age (P < 0.05). The age readings can be verified by plotting the sagittal OW versus the standard length for age groups, and the individuals with similar standard length but in different ages can be separated by sagittal OW frequency analysis. Mostly, the predicted ages using the regression between sagittal OW and ages are closed to the observed ages by counting annulus on scale. It indicates that the sagittal OW analysis is a useful technique for validating the accuracy of age determination by annuli counts, especially for individuals of similar size. Furthermore, the technique is applied for Pennahia macrocephalus with discussion in this paper.

TI Variations and controls of nitrogen stable isotopes in particulate organic matter of lakes SO OECOLOGIA AB Nitrogen stable isotope (delta(15)N) data of particulate organic matter (POM) from the literature were analyzed to provide an understanding of the variations and controls of delta(15)N(POM) in lakes at the global scale. The delta(15)N(POM) variability characterized by seasonal mean, minimum, maximum, and amplitude (defined as delta(15)N(POM) maximum - delta(15)N(POM) minimum) from 36 lakes with seasonal data did not change systematically with latitude, but was significantly lower in small lakes than in large lakes. The seasonal mean delta(15)N(POM) increased from oligotrophic lakes to eutrophic lakes despite large variations that are attributed to the occurrences of nitrogen fixation across the trophic gradient and the differences in delta(15)N of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in individual lakes. Seasonal mean delta(15)N(POM) was significantly correlated with DIN concentration and delta(15)N(DIN) in two subsets of lakes. Seasonal minimum delta(15)N(POM) in individual lakes is influenced by nitrogen fixation and delta(15)N(DIN) while seasonal maximum delta(15)N(POM) is influenced by lake trophic state and delta(15)N(DIN). As a result of the dominance of non-living POM in the unproductive surface waters, seasonal delta(15)N(POM) amplitude was small (mean = 4.2aEuro degrees) in oligotrophic lakes of all latitudes. On the other hand, seasonal delta(15)N(POM) amplitude in eutrophic lakes was large (mean = 10.3aEuro degrees), and increased from low to high latitudes, suggesting that the seasonal variability of delta(15)N in the phytoplankton-dominated POM pool was elevated by the greater spans of solar radiation and thermal regimes at high latitudes. The delta(15)N(POM) from 42 lakes with no seasonal data revealed no consistent patterns along latitude, lake area, and trophic gradients, and a greater than 2aEuro degrees depletion compared to the lakes with seasonal data. Along with the large seasonal variability of delta(15)N(POM) within lakes, these results provide insightful information on sampling design for the studies of food web baseline in lakes.

This research focuses on the analysis of the isotope of noble gas of 11 cherts. The R/R(a) ratio of chert in the Keping area is 0.032-0.319, and (40)Ar/(36)Ar is 338-430. In Quruqtagh the R/R(a) ratio is 0.44-10.21, and (40)Ar/(36)Ar is 360-765. The R/R(a) ratio of chert increases with (40)Ar/(36)Ar from the west to the east accordingly. They have evolved from the crust source area to the mantle source area in a direct proportion. Surplus argon (40)Ar(E) in chert is in direct proportion to the R/R(a). ratio, indicating that it has the same origin of excess argon as in fluid and mantle source helium. Comparison of the R/R(a) ratios between the west and the east shows that the chert in the eastern part formed from the activity system of the bottom hydrothermal venting driven by the mantle source, where the material and energy of crust and mantle had a strong interaction in exchange; whereas in the western part, chert deposited from the floating of hydrothermal plume undersea bottom, which is far away from the Centre of activities of the hydrothermal fluid of ocean bottom. In addition, from noble gas isotope composition of chert, it is suggested that the ocean anoxia incident happened at the black shale of the Cambrian bottom probably because of the large-scaled ocean volcanoes and the following hydrothermal activities.

Results indicated that there were no significant differences in daily ration level in wet weight (RL(w)), dry weight (RL(d)), and energy (RL(e)) of the fish. There were also no significant variations in daily fecal production (f(e)) and apparent digestibility coefficient of energy (ADC(e)) among salinity treatments.

Quadratic regression analyses of SGR(w), SGR(d), and SGR(e) against salinity indicated that the optimal salinity for maximal growth of juvenile cobia was 29.9, 29.9, and 28.5 ppt, respectively. Similar to the trend of SGR, food conversion efficiency for juvenile cobia in wet weight (FCE(w)), dry weight (FCE(d)), and energy (FCE(e)) increased with the increases in salinity, maximized at 30 ppt, and then decreased when salinity reached 35 ppt.

Four fibrous-root and four rhizomatic-root wetland plants were studied in mono-cultured microcosms which received wastewater. Fibrous-root plants had significantly greater (P < 0.05) small-size root (diameter a parts per thousand currency sign 1 mm) biomass and a larger (P < 0.05) root surface area per plant than the rhizomatic-root plants and exhibited accelerated growth in both shoots and roots compared to the rhizomatic-root plants. Fibrous-root plants developed the majority of their root biomass increment within a shallower gravel medium than the rhizomatic-root plants. All plants demonstrated fast root biomass growth from July to September. The wetland microcosms planted with fibrous-root plants showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) ammonium-nitrogen (NH(4)-N) and nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N) removal rates from July to December than those planted with the rhizomatic-root plants. These results suggest that root characteristics of wetland plants, which are related to their shoot and root growth, root distribution, and decontamination ability, can be used in the selection of wetland plants with a higher contaminant removal capacity and in the construction of a multi-species wetland plant community.

The full length of PFHsp70 cDNA was 2376 bp, consisting of a 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 89 bp, a 3' terminal UTR of 328 bp, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 1959 bp encoding a polypeptide of 652 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight of 71.42 kDa and an estimated isoelectric point of 5.18. BLAST analysis revealed that the PFHsp70 gene shared high similarity with other Hsp70 genes. PFHsp70 contained all the three classical Hsp70 family signatures. The results indicated that the PFHsp70 was a member of the heat shock protein 70 family. Fluorescent real-time quantitative RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of PFHsp70 gene in haemocytes of P. fucata after the challenge of bacteria Vibrio alginolyticus. There was a clear time-dependent expression pattern of PFHsp70 after bacterial challenge, and the mRNA expression reached a maximum level at 4 h post-challenge, which returned to control level after 32 h. The up-regulated mRNA expression of PFHsp70 in P. fucata after bacterial challenge indicates that the Hsp70 gene is inducible and involved in immune response. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Using double-layer agar technique, the numbers of culturable BALOs that lyse Vibrio alginolyticus were found to be 10-10(3) PFU ml(-1) in the surface water samples. A total of 130 BALOs isolates were differentiated into five phylotypes by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis targeting the 16S rDNA V3 region and four phylotypes by amplified rDNA restriction analysis of the Bacteriovoracaceae-specific 16S rDNA fragment respectively. Phylogenetic analysis of representative isolates showed that all of them were identified as Bacteriovorax spp., but affiliated with four different clusters in the family Bacteriovoracaceae. The two PCR-based methods both can be chosen to rapidly type the saltwater BALOs at cluster level. And the relatively large numbers of BALOs with various phylotypes recovered from the same habitats suggested that these predators might play important ecological role in shrimp mariculture environments. We proposed two effective methods to distinguish rapidly large numbers of BALOs isolates and our results would be helpful to understand the diversity and function of BALOs in mariculture environments.

PT J AU Chen, XJ Li, G Feng, B Tian, SQ AF Chen, Xinjun Li, Gang Feng, Bo Tian, Siquan TI Habitat suitability index of Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) from July to September in the East China Sea SO JOURNAL OF OCEANOGRAPHY AB The habitat quality of Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) in the East China Sea has been a subject of concern in the last 10 years due to large fluctuations in annual catches of this stock. For example, the Chinese light-purse seine fishery recorded 84000 tons in 1999 compared to 17000 tons in 2006. The fluctuations have been attributed to variability in habitat quality. The habitat suitability Index (HSI) has been widely used to describe fish habitat quality and in fishing ground forecasting. In this paper we use catch data and satellite derived environmental variables to determine habitat suitability indices for Chub mackerel during July to September in the East China Sea. More than 90% of the total catch was found to come from the areas with sea surface temperature of 28.0A degrees-29.4A degrees C, sea surface salinity of 33.6-34.2 psu, chlorophyll-a concentration of 0.15-0.50 mg/m(3) and sea surface height anomaly of -0.1-1.1 m. Of the four conventional models of HSI, the Arithmetic Mean Model (AMM) was found to be most suitable according to Akaike Information Criterion analysis. Based on the estimation of AMM in 2004, the monthly HSIs in the waters of 123A degrees-125A degrees E and 27A degrees 30'aEuro"28A degrees 00' N were more than 0.6 during July to September, which coincides with the catch distribution in the same time period. This implies that AMM can yield a reliable prediction of the Chub mackerel's habitat in the East China Sea.

The effects of temperature, pressure and extraction time on the oil yield were investigated. Results showed that the data were adequately fitted into the second-order polynomial model. The linear and quadratic of independent variables, temperature, pressure and extraction time, the interactions between temperature and extraction time, pressure and extraction time had a significant effect on the oil yield. It was predicted that the optimum extraction process parameters within the experimental ranges would be the extraction temperature of 56 degrees C and pressure of 26 MPa and extraction time of 4 h. Under these conditions, the oil yield was 25.83%. The color of passion fruit seed oil extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide is golden orange. Its physical and chemical properties come up to the required standard for edible oil. The content of unsaturated fatty acid in passion fruit seed oil was up to 89.43% and the content of linoleic acid was over 72%. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The P450arom plays all important role in gonadal differentiation and sex determination in teleosts. To Study the role of gonadal cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450aromA) in sex differentiation, the cDNA was isolated from the ovary of the half-smooth tongue-sole, Cynoglossus semilaevis. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibited high homology with P450arom of other teleosts. Alignment and phylogenetic analysis of the P450arom showed that the tongue sole P450aromA belonged to the gonadal P450arom Subfamily. The 5'-flanking region of the P450aromA gene contains two Ad4 binding motifs and a half site of the palindrome sequence of the estrogen-responsive element (the ERE half). P450aromA transcripts were highly abundant in the Ovary, less abundant in the testis, but not present in the brain, liver, spleen, kidney, muscle, skin, heart, head kidney, gill, intestine, or eyes by RT-PCR. The P450aromA mRNA increased with gonad development, but was less abundant ill the testis compare to the ovary in all phases. Highly abundant P450aromA was detected in the female ovary, but was less abundant in the testis in neo-males obtained by methyltestosterone or temperature treatment. These results imply that P450arom may be involved in gonadal development and sex differentiation in the tongue sole. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The relatively short-term signals with periods of about 6 months, 4 months, 3 months and 2 months are found besides seasonal and interannual variations mentioned in previous studies. Local wind stress curl plays an important role in controlling variation of bifurcation latitude except in the interannual timescale. The bifurcation latitude is about 13.3A degrees N in annual mean state and it lies at the northernmost position (14.0A degrees N) in January, at the southernmost position (12.5A degrees N) in July. The amplitude of variation of bifurcation latitude in a year is 1.5A degrees, which can mainly be explained as the contributions of the signals with periods of about 1 year (1.2A degrees) and 0.5 year (0.3A degrees).

A laboratory culture experiment was conducted to evaluate the influences of water temperature on larval development, survival, and reproduction. Results indicate that within a temperature range from 15 to 35 degrees C, larval development increases as the temperature increases. The water temperature for optimal larval survival rate ranges from 20 to 35 degrees C. Longevity and egg hatching time decrease as the temperature increases from 20 to 35 degrees C. Total fecundity and reproduction frequency increase as the water temperature increases, with the maximum at 30 degrees C. Fecundity and reproduction frequency decrease when the temperature exceeds 30 degrees C. Intrinsic growth rate (r(m)) ranges from 0.168 to 0.195 at 25 to 30 degrees C; net reproduction rate (R(0)) and finite growth rate (lambda) are 163 to 264 and 1.183 to 1.215, respectively, when the temperature is greater than 20 and 35 degrees C; population doubling time (t) varies from 3.556 to 4.128 days at temperatures less than 20 and 35 degrees C. Population generation time (T) is negatively correlated with temperature, with the optimal population growth rate at 25 to 30 degrees C.

Pinch technology is used to analyze the cooling of the wet air after compressor and the water used for cooling wet air after compressor. Its refrigeration depends mainly on the sensible heat of air and the latent heat of water vapor, its performance is more efficient than a conventional air-cycle, and the utilization of turbo-machinery makes it possible. The adoption of this cycle will make deep freeze easily and reduce initial cost because very low temperature, about -55 degrees C, air is obtained. The sensitivity analysis of coefficient of performance to the efficiency of compressor and the efficiency of compressor, and the results of the cycle are also given. The simulation results show that the COP of this system depends on the temperature before turbine, the efficiency of compressor and the efficiency of compressor, and varies with the wet bulb temperature of the outdoor air. Humid air is a perfect working fluid for deep freeze with no cost to the user. (C) 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Autolysis of SH by several temperature conditions (40 degrees C, 50 degrees C, 60 degrees C and gradual temperature) at its initial pH showed protein recovery of 43.6%, 73.6%, 50.3% and 87.4%, respectively. Autolysis of SH by gradual temperature (temperature was risen 5 degrees C every half an hour, from 40 degrees C to 70 degrees C served best for the preparation of autolysis hydrolysate (AH) with the maximum degree of hydrolysis (DH) 48.6% and the maximum protein recovery 87.4%. Subsequently, the chemical components of SH and its AH obtained by gradual temperature were investigated and comparably evaluated. Protein contents of SH and AH by gradual temperature method amounted to 60.6% and 88.8% (dry basis), respectively. Both SH and AH had high contents of tasting or functional amino acids. The contents of essential amino acids (EAA) of SH and AH were 340.26 and 405.30 mg/g protein, respectively. The amino acids scores of SH and AH were 73 and 96, respectively. The EAA of AH covered 96-100% of the FAO/WHO ideal protein. The high performance size exclusion chromatography of AH showed that with the increasing of DH values, there occurred a larger amount of smaller polypeptides with molecular weight <5000 Da. The nutritional value of SH could be greatly enhanced by gradual temperature autolysis. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of Swiss Society of Food Science and Technology.

The Curie temperature T(C) and magnetic entropy change (MCE) in (La(0.47)Gd(0.2))Sr(0.33)MnO(3) polycrystalline nanoparticles are determined and compared to those of similar systems prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. The Curie temperature TC is shifted to 298 k, and a relatively large MCE with a broad peak around Curie temperature is observed in (La(0.47)Gd(0.2))Sr(0.33)MnO(3) polycrystalline particles.

We employ a technique of monotonization and use a property of stronger monotonicity to give an estimate for the unknown function. Our result enables us to solve those discrete inequalities considered in the work of W.-S. Cheung (2006).

An 8-week feeding experiment was conducted in order to assess the effects of different levels of L-carnitine (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg/kg) and dietary protein (22, 25, and 28%) on blood sugar and blood lipid contents of the new juvenile GIFT strain of Nile tilapia. Results showed that dietary protein and L-carnitine had significant influences on glucose (GLU), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood serum. The contents of GLU and HDL-C increased with the increases in dietary protein and L-carnitine levels, while the contents of TC, LDL-C, and TG decreased with the increases in dietary protein and L-carnitine levels. The interactive effect of both dietary protein and L-carnitine was most significant on GLU (p = 0.0001), followed by TG (p = 0.001), TC (p = 0.005), HDL-C (p = 0.056), and LDL-C (p = 0.109). These results suggested that high levels of dietary protein and L-carnitine supplementation reduce blood lipids and the burden of the fish liver.
