Gut microbiota changes in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), during organic acid feed supplementation and Yersinia ruckeri infection

2013

Gut microbiota (GM) composition of vertebrates are considered to influence health parameters including immunological parameters in the host but knowledge of these issues in fish are sparse. We have performed a 45 day experimental study elucidating effects of dietary supplementation of organic acids (Mera Cid) and immunostimulants on the GM composition of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum) and investigated its association with blood parameters and disease resistance (against enteric red mouth disease (ERM) caused the bacterium Yersinia ruckeri). A total of 640 fish received either 1) basic fish feed without organic acids or immunostimulants, 2) fish feed with immunostimulants (β6glu…

High dietary inclusion level of fresh herring impairs growth of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

1998

Abstract One-year old rainbow trout (initially 350–670 g) were fed for 15 weeks diets containing various amounts of water (23–67%). This was achieved by replacing fish meal with Baltic herring. The growth of rainbow trout, whether measured as wet weight, protein or energy, was impaired when 50–55% dietary water was fed. The fish compensated for increasing dietary water content by consuming more diet so that the dry matter intake of the diets with 23 and 67% water were equal. Partitioning of growth into protein and lipid as well as protein and energy retention efficiencies were unaffected by dietary water. It is suggested that there is a metabolic cost of consuming more food when compensatin…

Taimenen mädin säilyvyys ja alkioiden kasvu Savijoen kipsinlevitysalueella

2019

Pelloille tehtävän kipsinlevityksen vesistövaikutuksia tutkittiin Helsingin yliopiston ja Suomen ympäristökeskuksen yhteishankkeessa ”SAVE - Saaristomeren vedenlaadun parantaminen peltojen kipsikäsittelyllä”. Hanke oli ympäristöministeriön rahoittama hallituksen kärkihanke. Siinä missä kipsin, eli kalsiumsulfaatin, levitys on vähentänyt pelloilta tulevaa fosforikuormitusta, se on toisaalta nostanut pilottialuetta halkovan Savijoen sulfaattipitoisuuden kolminkertaiseksi. Suuren sulfaattipitoisuuden tiedetään olevan haitallista vesieliöille, kuten kaloille. Näin ollen Jyväskylän yliopisto selvitti kipsinlevityksen vaikutuksia taimenen (Salmo trutta) varhaisten elinvaiheiden säilyvyyteen ja ka…

Redd Counting for Monitoring Salmonids in Finnish Inland Waters

2014

During recent years, systematic redd counting has been used as a monitoring method of wild Brown Trout Salmo trutta spawning stocks, both resident and lake-migrating, in the Lake District in Southern Finland. Counting is done by wading and viewing with an aqua-scope, and is related to channel microhabitat measurements, to estimation of gravel origin, to regression between redd length and female length, to regression between female length and egg number in redd, and to parr density. This produces valuable information about spawning environment, spawning stocks, and stock-recruitment ratio for management of stream-spawning fishes and river channels. Number of trout redds and of female spawner…

Effects of feeding frequency on growth and food utilisation of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed low-fat herring or dry pellets

1998

Abstract One-year-old rainbow trout (weight range 400–700 g) were fed for 18 weeks on low-fat herring or commercial dry pellets 1, 2 or 4 times in a day. Quadratic regression analysis indicated that at least three feedings were required for maximum growth and that fish fed a dry diet could benefit from even more frequent feeding. The proportion of lipid in growth increased with increased number of feedings, but the protein content was not affected (mean 18.6% protein wet basis). Food consumption (dry weight) was affected in a similar manner for both diets and its maximum occurred at slightly higher frequency than for maximum growth. No effects of feeding frequency or type of diet on energy …

Fractionated precipitation of acid macropolyanions by dialysis, a simple method for the estimation of DNA in complex biological samples.

1976

Abstract After efficient extraction by para-aminosalicylate, (hopping, grinding and eventual sonication, the macropolyanions are transformed into their cetyltrimethylammonium salts. These have differing solubilities, strongly depending on ionic strength. The cationic detergent-macropolyanionic salts are solubilized by high salt concentration. Salt is then dialysed out, rendering the polyanions highly insoluble in a sequential fashion. The insolubilized components are determined quantitatively by monitoring turbidity, which in case of DNA is strictly proportionate to its concentration. This relation is not affected by other components. This makes DNA determination possible even in crude aque…

Time- and concentration-dependent metabolic and genomic responses to exposure to resin acids in brown trout (Salmo trutta m. lacustris)

2006

The presence of metabolically conjugated resin acids (RAs) in the bile is considered to be a sensitive indicator for exposure of fish to pulp and paper industry effluents; however, to our knowledge, no comprehensive kinetic study of this response has been made. Juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta m. lacustris) were exposed to a waterborne mixture of seven RAs (wood rosin) in time (0.1-192.0 h; average concentration, 8 microg/L) and dose (average concentrations, 0, 0.6, 4, 14, and 78 microg/L; 10 d) series, and total RAs were analyzed in bile. In time-dependent exposure, total RAs in bile increased up to 24 h. In concentration-dependent exposure, RAs increased along with the concentration of …

THE FINE STRUCTURE OF O2 Hb BINDING IN ANIMALS: SALMO IRIDEUS

1980

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the experimental results on study of the fine structure of O 2 Hb binding in animals. It is evident that the n ( S ) function represents a new tool to look at homotropic interactions, both qualitatively and quantitatively. At the moment, there are four applications: (1) study of molecular mechanism; (2) study of effectors, also pharmacological; (3) improved characterization of O 2 Hb binding, also in pathological cases; and (4) comparative studies in animals. Whole blood of fish is also investigated because usually there are found several hemoglobins. During registration of the O 2 binding curve, pH is not kept constant. Assuming that the Donnan fact…

Elektroutlenianie odpadowego syntetycznego oleju silnikowego w wodnym roztworze H2SO4

2017

W pracy przedstawiono badania nad możliwością wykorzystania odpadowego syntetycznego oleju silnikowego do bezpośredniego wytwarzania energii elektrycznej. Pomiary przeprowadzono w zakresie temperatur 293–333 K. Obejmowały one elektroutlenianie emulsji odpadowego (zużytego) syntetycznego oleju silnikowego na elektrodzie platynowej w wodnym roztworze H2SO4. Do wytworzenia emulsji wykorzystano niejonowy środek powierzchniowo czynny Syntanol DS-10. Maksymalna uzyskana gęstość prądu wyniosła 22 mA/cm2 (dla temp. 333 K). Wykazano więc, że istnieje możliwość bezpośredniego wytwarzania prądu elektrycznego z odpadowego syntetycznego oleju silnikowego, a więc zasilania nim ogniw paliwowych.
