Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of freshwater fish breeding, and more particularly to a method for artificially controlling off-season breeding of mandarin fish. Background Art

[0002] The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi Basilewsky), also known as the mandarin fish and sweet-scented fish, is the fastest-growing and largest of the nine known species of fish in the subfamily Siniperinae of the order Perciformes. It feeds on live bait throughout its life. Its tender, delicious meat, lack of intramuscular spines, and high nutritional value make it a popular aquaculture species in my country. Mandarin fish originated as marine fish. In the early 3rd century, the intrusion and retreat of seawater forced them to migrate to freshwater, necessitating distinct seasons for their survival and reproduction. High water temperatures in summer and low water temperatures in winter facilitate the maturation and reproduction of mandarin fish eggs during the warming of the water in late spring and early summer. Furthermore, due to sex differences, the ovarian development of female mandarin fish is asynchronous, requiring light to accumulate nutrients necessary for gonadal development. Under natural conditions, the spawning season for female mandarin fish is from April to September each year. This results in a difficulty meeting market demand due to the spawning season. From June to August each year, the number of mandarin fish on the market is scarce, causing prices to soar. This significantly impacts the development of the mandarin fish industry. Therefore, the development of off-season mandarin fish breeding technology is particularly important.

[0003] In recent years, there have been many studies on the reproduction of mandarin fish and the integration of some process methods for artificial reproduction of mandarin fish, which has increased the yield of mandarin fish seedlings to a certain extent. However, there has been no breakthrough improvement in the off-season breeding methods of mandarin fish, and no guidance has been provided for the design and optimization of breeding conditions in the culture environment.

[0004] Therefore, providing a method for off-season breeding of mandarin fish, increasing the number of mandarin fish seedlings, and achieving faster listing of mandarin fish in the same year and better market supply are problems that need to be urgently solved by the present invention.

The temperature control device controls the temperature of the indoor circulating water. Among them, the temperature control device is as follows. Figure 2 As shown, it includes a heating pump and a thermostat, the indoor circulating water temperature is adjusted by the heating pump, and the thermostat is used for constant temperature control;

[0046] (3) Screening broodstock: 40 male and female mandarin fish parents of 2 years old or older, which are healthy, without injury or disease, and weigh 600-900 g, are selected and disinfected by soaking in 5% sea salt for 20 minutes and then transferred to a broodstock cultivation tank in a circulating water system;

[0047] (4) Mandarin fish broodstock breeding: Female mandarin fish broodstock and male mandarin fish broodstock are raised separately, with a broodstock density of 10 kg / m 3 During the intensive culture period of the middle stage of broodstock rearing, feed twice a day. According to the feeding habits of mandarin fish, the feeding time is set at 8:00 and 17:00, and feed A is fed at 5% of the parent's body weight. During the intensive culture period of the broodstock breeding period, feed A is replaced with feed B. During the rearing period, residues and feces are cleaned in time, the feeding situation of the parents is observed, and the health status is checked regularly by microscopic examination. If abnormal mandarin fish parents are found, they will be isolated in time and targeted intensive culture will be carried out.

[0048] Among them, the feed A formula includes the following components in parts by mass: 15 parts of fermented soybean meal, 5 parts of soybean protein concentrate, 51 parts of fish meal, 8 parts of starch, 10 parts of meat quality improver, 2 parts of multivitamins, 2 parts of multiminerals, 2 parts of attractant, 2 parts of seaweed polysaccharide and 3 parts of yeast powder.

[0049] Among them, 10 parts of meat improver are made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 3 parts of fish oil, 0.5 parts of krill oil, 2 parts of soybean oil, 1 part of linseed oil, 0.5 parts of dried longan powder, 1 part of pork liver powder, 0.8 parts of kelp powder, and 1.2 parts of houttuynia cordata.

[0050] 2 parts of attractants are made from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 1 part of fish slurry, 0.3 parts of squid paste, 0.3 parts of allicin, and 0.4 parts of brewer's yeast.

[0051] The multivitamin contains vitamin B1, 30 mg; vitamin B2, 60 mg; vitamin B6, 30 mg; vitamin B 12 , 0.22mg; Vitamin D3, 5mg; Vitamin E, 160mg; Vitamin K3, 50mg; Folic acid, 20mg; Biotin, 2.5mg; Calcium pantothenate, 100mg; Vitamin (35%), 250mg; Niacin, 200mg; Rice husk powder, 999mg.

[0052] The composite minerals contain 10 mg of MnSO4, 10 mg of MgSO4, 95 mg of KCl, 165 mg of NaCl, 20 mg of ZnSO4, 1 mg of KI, 12.5 mg of CuSO4, 105 mg of FeSO4, 0.1 mg of Na2SeO3, and 1.5 mg of Co per kilogram of diet.

[0053] During the feeding period of feed A, the mandarin fish were dissected after 60 days of feeding, and their muscle and fatty acid composition were analyzed. The results were compared with those of mandarin fish fed with commercial feed, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0054] Table 1 Fatty acid composition of muscle tissue of mandarin fish at 60 days old

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] In Table 1, the control group was ordinary commercial feed, and the treatment group was feed A. It can be seen that the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in muscle increased significantly, and the content of arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid was significantly higher than that of the control group.

[0058] The optimum water temperature for the reproduction of mandarin fish parents is 23℃~26℃, which is generally in May and June. Intensive culture is implemented in the first three months of the parent breeding season, that is, around February of the same year. This method can significantly improve the reproductive capacity, fertilization rate, hatching rate, fry survival rate and growth performance of mandarin fish. 150 one-year-old mandarin fish parents with strong body shape, no injuries or diseases, and weighing more than 0.4kg were selected from the core population of mandarin fish parents, including 75 males and 75 females. All parents were soaked and disinfected in 5% sea salt for 20 minutes and then transferred to the circulating water system breeding barrel, and males and females were raised separately. The breeding density is 10kg / m 3 The male and female fish were fed with ordinary commercial feed and feed B respectively, and the breeding cycle was three months.

[0059] The feed B formula includes the following components in parts by mass: 15 parts of fermented soybean meal, 8 parts of soybean protein concentrate, 41 parts of fish meal, 8 parts of starch, 9 parts of fish oil, 13 parts of reproduction enhancer, 2 parts of multivitamins, 2 parts of multiminerals, and 2 parts of seaweed polysaccharides.

[0060] Among them, 13 parts of reproduction enhancer are made of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 1 part of krill oil, 1 part of shrimp powder, 3 parts of oyster powder, 1 part of black wolfberry, 1 part of Ligustrum lucidum, 3 parts of licorice, 1 part of kelp powder, and 2 parts of Houttuynia cordata.

[0061] The multivitamin contains 30mg of vitamin B1, 60mg of vitamin B2, 30mg of vitamin B6, and 30mg of vitamin B6 per kilogram of diet. 12 , 0.22mg; Vitamin D3, 5mg; Vitamin E, 160mg; Vitamin K3, 50mg; Folic acid, 20mg; Biotin, 2.5mg; Calcium pantothenate, 100mg; Vitamin (35%), 250mg; Niacin, 200mg; Rice husk powder, 999mg.

[0062] Among them, the composite minerals contain MnSO4, 10 mg; MgSO4, 10 mg; KCl, 95 mg; NaCl, 165 mg; ZnSO4, 20 mg; KI, 1 mg; CuSO4, 12.5 mg; FeSO4, 105 mg; Na2SeO3, 0.1 mg; and Co, 1.5 mg per kilogram of diet.

[0063] After three months of enrichment with high-unsaturated fatty acids, 50 large, reddish anal mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) were selected from an indoor recirculating aquaculture system for induced fertilization injections. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1. A single injection into the pectoral fin axilla contained a mixture of diocreatine (DOM), a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LRH-A2), and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Females received 4 mg / kg DOM, 10 μg / kg LRH-A2, and 1100 units / kg HCG, while males received half the dose given to females. Following the injections, all broodstock were transferred to cages set in a 6m x 6m x 1m cement tank, with cages measuring 2m x 1m x 1m. The water temperature was maintained at 25°C. After 30 hours, the mandarin fish spawned naturally and fertilized. Samples were collected and tested for various indices.

[0064] Table 2 Effects of high unsaturated fatty acid diet fortification on growth performance of mandarin fish

[0065]

[0066] Table 2 shows the effects of fortifying mandarin fish with a high-unsaturated fatty acid feed on their growth performance after three months of culture. D1 is a common commercial feed, and D2 is feed B. It can be seen that the weight gain rate and specific growth rate of the parents increased significantly after fortification.

[0067] Table 3 Effects of high unsaturated fatty acid diet fortification on the reproductive performance of mandarin fish

[0068]

[0069] As shown in Table 3, after three months of fortification of mandarin fish parents with high unsaturated fatty acid feed, there was a significant effect on the absolute fecundity, relative fecundity, hatching rate and 3dph fry survival rate of the parents.

[0070] Table 4 Effects of high unsaturated fatty acid diet fortification on the quality of mandarin fish eggs

[0071]

[0072] As shown in Table 4, after three months of culture of mandarin fish parents with high unsaturated fatty acid feed, the egg weight increased significantly; the total length, yolk sac diameter and oil ball diameter of the newly hatched fry all increased.

[0073] Table 5 Effects of high unsaturated fatty acid diet fortification on the fatty acid composition of mandarin fish eggs

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] As shown in Table 5, after three months of fortified culture of mandarin fish parents with high unsaturated fatty acid feed, the ARA, EPA, and DHA contents of mandarin fish eggs increased significantly, and the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content increased significantly.

[0077] Combining the data of the control group and the treatment group in Tables 1 to 5, it can be seen that the fatty acid accumulation and reproductive performance of mandarin fish can be significantly improved by adopting the above feed.

[0078] (5) Cooling treatment cultivation:

[0079] The cooling process started on November 18, 2021, during the off-season for mandarin fish breeding. The water temperature for the female and male mandarin fish broodstock was regulated by the temperature control equipment (heating pump and thermostat) in the indoor circulating aquaculture system to maintain the water temperature at 13°C for 6 weeks. Then, the water temperature was raised to 23°C within 2 weeks through the temperature control equipment of the indoor circulating aquaculture system and maintained for 4 weeks. The temperature change curve is shown in the figure below. Figure 5 shown.

[0080] (6) Sampling

[0081] During the experiment, samples were taken every 3 weeks, with 2-3 females and 2-3 males each time, on November 18, 2021, December 9, 2021, and December 30, 2021, respectively. On January 20, 2022, and February 10, 2022. The fish were randomly captured, anesthetized with MS222, and their body weights were measured. 2-3 mL of blood was collected from the tail vein using a syringe and placed in a refrigerated centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 minutes. The supernatant was collected and stored at -80 °C, and the estradiol concentration in female fish and the testosterone concentration in male fish were determined using an ELISA kit. Finally, the gonadal tissue was dissected and removed, and the appearance changes were as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the anatomical micrographs Figure 8 、 Figure 9 shown.
