To clarify the differences in the growth and gonad size of the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus among algal sere, the study was conducted in June and July, and September 1998 at three fucoid beds in Oga and at three algal turfs in Hachimori, Akita Prefecture in northern Japan. The most rapid growth was observed in a large perennial fucoid bed at the climax stage. Growth in a small perennial Chondrus ocellatus‐dominated bed in algal turfs in the seral stage was then high. The slowest growth was observed in the small perennial Dictyopteris divaricata‐ and Laurencia spp.‐dominated beds which are known to possess chemicals which act as feeding deterrents against the sea urchins. The gonad index (gonad wet weight × 100/body wet weight) at a fucoid bed was high where standing crops exceeded 3 kg·m^?2. The gonad index in the Laurencia bed was lower than those at fucoid beds. These results suggest that growth and gonad production are affected by algal sere and differ among species of small perennial algae in the seral stage with or without chemical defense.  相似文献

施兆鸿  王建钢  高露姣  谢营梁  夏连军 《台湾海峡》2006,25(3):353-359

本文采用常规的生物学调查方法并取黄鲷性腺做石蜡切片，用显微镜观察黄鲷的性腺发育，进行组织学研究．其结果表明，南海黄鲷精巢可分成6期，精巢5期的成熟度指数为1．62％～2．71％，平均值为1．99％．雌性生殖细胞可见5个时相，卵巢发育也相应分成6期，卵巢5期时的成熟度指数为8．90％～13．90％，平均值为9．45％．南海黄鲷的繁殖期在11月至翌年的4月，繁殖高峰在12月至3月，黄鲷的产卵类型属于在同一繁殖季节中多次产卵类型．本文还对黄鲷的雌雄同体现象、繁殖力、繁殖时间进行了讨论．  相似文献

欧氏六线鱼Hexagrammos otakii Jordan & Starks性腺发育的周年变化研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

郑家声  王梅林  史晓川  张士璀 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》1997,(4)

根据对青岛附近水域欧氏六线鱼（已达性成熟年龄）性腺周年宏观和组织学观察，性腺发育可分为：①重复发育Ⅱ期；②开始成熟期；③接近成熟期；④临产期或产卵期；⑤产后期。按性腺指数变化并结合性腺组织切片确定，欧氏六线鱼性腺发育在青岛海区一年一个周期，繁殖期在１０月下旬至１２月，繁殖盛期是１１月下旬至１２月中旬。  相似文献   

Aspects of reproduction of the brown mussel Perna perna at the Iture rocky beach near Cape Coast,Ghana     

EA Krampah  K Yankson  J Blay 《African Journal of Marine Science》2016,38(4):503-512

Aspects of the reproductive biology of the brown mussel Perna perna at the Iture rocky beach near Cape Coast, Ghana, were studied from September 2014 to August 2015. The current study was aimed at providing information useful for managing the mussel fishery in this locality and also that would form the basis for designing appropriate culture methods for the species. Microscopic examination of fresh smears of gonadal material, as well as histological preparations of the gonad, were used to study the sexuality and breeding pattern of the species. Monthly gonadal and condition indices were also determined. Perna perna exhibited gonochoristic sexuality with a sex ratio of approximately 1:1 throughout the study period. Sexes were identifiable at shell lengths of 15.0–19.9 mm. Five stages of gonadal development were identified in both sexes. Gametogenic activity was continuous throughout the year, with two major spawning activities, from April to June and from August to December. These periods coincided with the major and minor rainy seasons, respectively, as well as the major upwelling period in August. Condition indices suggest that the mussels were in better condition for harvesting in March and August prior to the major spawning events.  相似文献   

Localization of nitric oxide synthase in the developing gonads of amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense     

WANG Yongjun  ZHANG Shicui 《海洋学报(英文版)》2005,24(5):120-126

The localization of nitric oxide synthases （NOS） is dealed with in the developing gonads of amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense. It was found by NADPH-diaphorase staining that （1） NOS activity was present in the nuclear membranes of germinal vesicles during the entire period ofoocyte development; （2） NOS was localized in both the nuclear membranes and the perinuclear region of cytoplasm in the vitellogenetic oocytes; （3） NOS was relocated in the cortical layer in the mature egg; （4） NOS activity was present in spermatocytes, but not in the spermatogonia in the middle of October; （5） NOS was detected in both spermatozoa and spermatids as well as spermatocytes during the breeding season. This is the first report on the distribution pattern of NOS in the developing gonads in protochordates. These results suggest a role for NOS in the functioning of the nuclear membranes and yolk synthesis during oogenesis and in cell division and differentiation during spermatogenesis.  相似文献

林孔扇贝自然海区采苗技术研究     

王如才  高洁  张连庆  吴远起 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》1987,(3)

1974—1985年在烟台市、荣成和长岛县进行了自然海区采苗的试验研究。研究结果表明,采苗袋(笼)是较好的扇贝自然海区采苗器。 自然海区采苗技术的关键是:采苗袋网目在1.5毫米左右,内放少量网片作为稚贝附着基;海区透明度大;适时预报投放采苗器时间;掌握适宜的采苗水层。 该项技术经济效益显著。  相似文献
