The control of sea lice in Atlantic salmon by selective breeding

Sea lice threaten the welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon and the sustainability of fish farming across the world. Chemical treatments are the major method of control but drug resistance means that alternatives are urgently needed. Selective breeding can be a cheap and effective alternative. Here, we combine experimental trials and diagnostics to provide a practical protocol for quantifying resistance to sea lice. We then combined quantitative genetics with epidemiological modelling to make the first prediction of the response to selection, quantified in terms of reduced need for chemical treatments. We infected over 1400 young fish with Lepeophtheirus salmonis, the most important species in the Northern Hemisphere. Mechanisms of resistance were expressed early in infection. Consequently, the number of lice per fish and the ranking of families were very similar at 7 and 17 days post infection, providing a stable window for assessing susceptibility to infection. The heritability of lice numbers within this time window was moderately high at 0.3, confirming that selective breeding is viable. We combined an epidemiological model of sea lice infection and control on a salmon farm with genetic variation in susceptibility among individuals. We simulated 10 generations of selective breeding and examined the frequency of treatments needed to control infection. Our model predicted that substantially fewer chemical treatments are needed to control lice outbreaks in selected populations and chemical treatment could be unnecessary after 10 generations of selection. Selective breeding for sea lice resistance should reduce the impact of sea lice on fish health and thus substantially improve the sustainability of Atlantic salmon production.

东海盆地西南部地质特征与油气分布探讨

本文根据近3×10~4km地震和13口探井及其它地球物理、地质等方面资料,综合分析认为:东海盆地西南部与盆地其它部分在发育演化、构造运动、沉积环境等方面差异甚大。 盆地西南部(杭州湾—冲绳岛断裂以南地区)发育演化经历了断陷—坳陷—隆起—铺盖四个阶段。始新世末期的隆起在研究区演化史上有15～20Ma的沉积间断、剥蚀。这段历程,盆地其它部分未曾经历。其次是区内始新世末期抬升运动,致使始新统及以下老地层受剥蚀,仅始新统最大剥蚀量达1000m,这是盆地内绝无仅有的。第三是第三纪以海相沉积环境为主,特别在始新世,为海侵高潮,海城宽阔达8000km~2,这时盆地东北部正接受陆相沉积。研究区中部(北东向)可能存在超压泥岩及多套生油岩系,应为有利生油气区。研究区可能是盆地最有油气远景地区之一。

应用改进频率调谐的海上小目标检测方法

提出了一种新的基于可见光图像的海上小目标检测方法。由于频率调谐方法将图像空间域整体均值与高斯滤波后差分结果,作为显著性度量的标准,因此当图像背景中存在较多杂波干扰时,显著目标检测效果不理想。提出的方法对基于频率调谐的显著性检测方法进行了改进,首先对图像LAB空间中3个特征分量进行分块,在每个分块区域中应用频率调谐显著性检测方法,进而将其结果合并为总显著图,以检测海上小目标。该方法克服了频率调谐方法,当海面背景中存在大量海杂波,无法有效提取小目标的缺陷。实验结果表明了该方法的有效性。

Tocopherols in sea buckthorn (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Hippophaë rhamnoides</Emphasis> L.) berry oil

The free tocopherol content in whole berries of six sea buckthorn cultivars grown in northeastern Poland and Belorussia was determined with HPLC. The total free tocopherol content in oil from whole berries was 101.4–128.3 mg/100 g of oil. α-Tocopherol was the predominant tocopherol of sea buckthorn berries, and only traces of γ-tocopherol were detected in the oil. α- and δ-Tocopherols constituted 62.5–67.9% and 32.1–37.5% of total tocopherol, respectively. The total free tocopherol content in oil of sea buckthorn cv. Nadbaltycka increased during maturation from 40.4 to 109.8 mg/100 g of oil. Green berries contained a marked amount of γ-tocopherol, but its content rapidly declined to traces when the color of berries turned from green to olive-yellow.     

Method for characterization of triacylglycerols and fat-soluble vitamins in edible oils and fats by supercritical fluid chromatography

This study demonstrates the usefulness of capillary supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) for the characterization of triacylglycerols of edible oils and fats. Triacylglycerols were separated according to the acyl carbon number and the degree of unsaturation on a 25% cyanopropyl/25% phenyl/50% methylpolysiloxane stationary phase. Valuable information concerning the triacylglycerol composition of berry oils was obtained, despite the overlapping of certain triacylglycerol peaks. Simultaneous analysis of fat-soluble vitamins and triacylglycerols is not practical by capillary SFC with flame-ionization detection because of the low concentration of naturally-occurring fat-soluble vitamins in edible oils. Therefore, higher loading of the sample, which led to overloading of triacylglycerols, was required to get reasonable peaks for fat-soluble vitamins. The method was applied to the characterization of triacylglycerols and tocopherols in sea buckthorn pulp and seed oil, and cloudberry seed oil without any sample purification prior to SFC. In addition, the stationary phase proved useful for separating the more complex mixtures of triacylglycerols found in milk fat and in fish oil.
