Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of efficient ecological cultivation techniques for aquatic seedlings, and specifically relates to the use of active substances of Grateloupia filicina to promote the attachment and metamorphosis of bivalves.

Background Art

[0002] Bivalves are an important type of shallow-sea aquaculture in our country. The aquaculture production volume in 2021 reached 13.98 million tons, accounting for 92% of the shellfish production volume in our country, generating huge economic and social benefits. Among them, the acquisition of a large number of seedlings has made great contributions to large-scale aquaculture. Artificially cultivated seedlings can make up for the shortage of natural seedlings, and intentionally selecting and breeding to increase the profits of aquaculture enterprises is the main method for obtaining seedlings in large-scale aquaculture. Bivalves are oviparous and go through the embryonic stage, planktonic larval stage, and attachment and metamorphosis stage from egg development to juvenile clams. Attachment and metamorphosis are important links in the larval development history of scallops, a sensitive period for development and survival, during which their morphology and living habits change greatly. The larvae first secrete byssus to adhere and fix to a suitable attachment substrate, and then the veliger degenerates, the gills and adductor muscles develop, and a new secondary shell of calcium carbonate grows on the outer edge of the chitin shell (signs of complete metamorphosis). During this process, the larvae transition from a planktonic life to a sessile life using byssus, from filtering food with the veliger to filtering food with the gills, and from a chitinous shell to a calcium carbonate shell. At the stage of attachment and metamorphosis, if environmental factors are slightly abnormal, the larvae may delay metamorphosis or die in large numbers, causing great losses to shellfish seedling breeding enterprises. Therefore, it is urgent to develop efficient and ecological seedling breeding techniques and methods.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following specific examples.

[0020] In the following examples, unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used are conventional methods, and the materials, reagents, etc. used can be purchased from biological or chemical reagent companies.

[0021] Example 1: Extraction and Analysis of the Polysaccharide of the Active Metabolite of Funagata keiso

[0022] The hornwort cultured and preserved in the laboratory was expanded and cultured, and the culture solution containing hornwort in the exponential growth phase was taken, centrifuged to obtain the supernatant, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm cellulose acetate film, and alcohol precipitation was performed using anhydrous ethanol at three times the volume of the supernatant. After centrifuging the obtained precipitate, the supernatant was discarded. The volume was adjusted to 20 mL, 5 mL of Sevag reagent (the volume ratio of chloroform to n-butanol is 4:1) was added, shaken for 15 min, centrifuged at 5000 r / min for 10 min at 4 °C, the supernatant was collected, and the Sevag treatment step was repeated three times. The extracts were respectively put into pre-treated dialysis bags, dialyzed in distilled water for 24 h, and the distilled water was changed every 6 h. After dialysis, they were transferred to centrifuge tubes, frozen in a refrigerator at -80 °C, and freeze-dried with a freeze dryer after freezing to obtain the active metabolite polysaccharide of hornwort.

[0023] Glycosyl group composition analysis was performed on the active metabolite polysaccharide of hornwort. After complete acid hydrolysis and HPLC analysis of the purified polysaccharide, the ratio of the monosaccharide composition in the EPS polysaccharide of the hornwort biofilm was obtained by comparing with the peak area of the monosaccharide standard product.

[0024] The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. Among the glycosyl group compositions of the active metabolite polysaccharide of hornwort, the proportion of glucose is the highest (43.03%), followed by D-fucose (24.19%), D-xylose (14.82%), D-galactose (12.61%), D-mannose (12.05%) in this order, and gluconic acid, L-rhamnose and glucosamine account for relatively small proportions.

Table 1

[0026] Example 2 Non-destructive microtechnology (NMT, Xuyue) uses the corresponding microsensor to measure the Ca 2+ concentration gradient between two predetermined points. Ca 2+The microsensor is calibrated in advance with 0.5 mM and 0.05 mM Ca 2+ The test solution (360 mM NaCl, 2.0 mM NaHCO 3 , 8.0 mM KCl, 0.1 mM Na 2 SO 4 , 0.5 mM CaCl 2 , pH 8.1) was used to wash the eyed larvae of oysters and allow them to adapt for 20 min. Then, the polysaccharide of the active metabolite of Ganoderma tsugae extracted in Example 1 was added. The Ca 2+ flux microsensor was placed near the shell edge (about 3 μm) to detect the exchange status of calcium ions in the oyster larvae. The Ca 2+ flux data was derived from im Fluxes V2.0 software.

[0027] Using the eyed larvae of oysters in the test solution as the control group and the group with the addition of the polysaccharide of the active metabolite of Ganoderma tsugae to the test solution as the treatment group, the calcium ion flux in the larvae was monitored. The results are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Under the environment of the polysaccharide of the active metabolite of Ganoderma tsugae, there was an obvious influx of calcium ions in the oyster larvae, and the difference was significant.

[0028] Example 3 1. Ethological statistics were conducted on oyster larvae. The results are shown in Figures 4 and 5. From the ethological data of different groups of oyster eyed larvae in different attachment environments, when the oyster eyed larvae were placed in the attachment environment for 24 hours, in the active metabolite polysaccharide group of Sargassum fusiforme (also called the polysaccharide group), 30% of the larvae were in a swimming state, 64.58% of the larvae were at the bottom of the polysaccharide group, and 5.42% of the larvae were in a crawling state, searching for a suitable attachment place. Among the control group, 67.59% of the larvae were in a swimming state, and only 32.41% of the larvae were at the bottom of the attachment substrate. After 48 hours, in the polysaccharide group, 3.33% of the larvae completed metamorphosis and became juvenile oysters, the number of larvae at the bottom increased to 68.33%, and the number of swimming larvae began to decrease. Among the control group, only 1.52% of the larvae metamorphosed, the number of swimming larvae (45.00%) was more than that of the polysaccharide group (23.33%), and the proportion of larvae at the bottom (50.91%) was less than that of the polysaccharide group (68.335%). From the results at 72 hours, 120 hours, and 168 hours, overall, the number of juvenile oysters in the polysaccharide group continued to increase (15.00%, 30.56%, 51.67%) and was higher than that of the control group (5.00%, 14.70%, 29.72%), and the number of swimming larvae continued to decrease (21.67%, 5.00%, 3.33%) and was smaller than that of the control group (23.33%, 12.88%, 10.19%). After 216 hours, 69.63% of the larvae in the polysaccharide group completed metamorphosis and became juvenile oysters, while in the control group, it was only 43.33% (P < 0.01). It was shown that the active metabolite polysaccharide of Sargassum fusiforme can accelerate the metamorphosis process of oyster larvae.

[0029] 2. Oysters were cultured. When the number of oyster eyed larvae reached 60%, the active metabolite polysaccharide of Sargassum fusiforme extracted in Example 1 was placed in the larval culture tank at a concentration of 2 - 5 g / L for normal aquaculture, and the metamorphosis rate of oyster eyed larvae was detected.

[0030] The experimental results of the active metabolite polysaccharide of Sargassum fusiforme on oyster metamorphosis are shown in Figures 6 and 7. The metamorphosis rate of the control group was 5.3%, and that of the active metabolite polysaccharide group of Sargassum fusiforme was 16.9%. This showed that the active metabolite polysaccharide of Sargassum fusiforme can significantly improve the attachment and metamorphosis rate of late-stage larvae with shell tops of oysters.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used for explaining the technical solutions of the present invention and are not restrictive. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or equivalently replace some of their technical features, and these modifications or replacements do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present invention for the corresponding technical solutions.
