Germline Development of Genetically Female Nile Tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) Reared under Different Temperature RegimesHabibah, Aulidya N., Pfennig, Frank, Wilting, Jörg, Holtz, Wolfgang, Hoerstgen-Schwark, Gabriele, Wessels, Stephan 26 May 2020 (has links)
In teleosts, elevated temperature during embryogenesis can act on germline cell development, which in turn plays a role for sexual fate. In Nile tilapia, a species with high-temperature-induced masculinization, little is known about the effects of increased temperature on gonadal development in non-masculinized females. The aim of the present work was to investigate persistent effects on the germline of genetically female (XX) Nile tilapia reared at normal (28 ° C) or elevated temperature (36°C) during the critical time of gonadal sex differentiation at 10 to 20 days post fertilization. Nonsex-reversed females were compared to control females to determine persistent effects of temperature on subsequent ovarian development using histological approaches. Germline stem cells were identified using the germline marker Vasa in combination with the proliferation marker PCNA. Vasa- and PCNA-positive germline stem cells were found in ovaries of both high-temperature-treated and control females. In both groups, ovarian germline stem cells were located at the germinal epithelium of the ovigerous lamellae. Although no detrimental effects of high temperature on gonadal development in female Nile tilapia were observed, implications on the reproductive fitness caused by elevated
temperature need to be investigated in greater depth.

Physiological responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) after exposure to diclofenac and metoprololKeitel-Gröner, Frederike 06 March 2017 (has links)
(Oberflächen-) Gewässer weltweit sind mit geringen Mengen (ng/L bis wenige µg/L) humaner Pharmazeutika belastet. Diclofenac (DCF; nicht-steroidal, entzündungshemmend) und Metoprolol (MTP; ß-Blocker) gehören entsprechend ihres hohen Verbrauchs zu den am häufigsten gefundenen Substanzen. Deren biologische Aktivität ist nicht auf den Menschen beschränkt. Gut konservierte Enzyme innerhalb der Vertebraten legen Auswirkungen auf Nicht-Zielorganismen wie Fische nahe, die bisher in Langzeituntersuchungen mit umweltrelevanten Konzentrationen unzureichend untersucht wurden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die physiologischen Effekte von DCF und MTP auf die Nil-Tilapie (Oreochromis niloticus), einem der wichtigsten Aquakulturfische weltweit, untersucht. In vitro konnte anhand primärer Hepatozyten gezeigt werden, dass bereits umweltrelevante Konzentrationen von DCF zu einer erhöhten Genexpression verschiedener Schlüsselenzyme der Detoxifizierung führten. Nach MTP-Exposition waren die Veränderungen weniger eindeutig. Beide Substanzen induzierten die Vitellogenin Genexpression, nur DCF jedoch bereits in umweltrelevanter Konzentration. In vivo wurden in zwei Langzeit-Expositionsversuchen die physiologischen Effekte vom befruchteten Ei bis 80 Tage nach Schlupf in O. niloticus untersucht. Beide Substanzen hatte keinen Einfluss auf Schlupferfolg und Überleben, das Wachstum war nach 80 Tagen nach Schlupf leicht reduziert. Die deutlichsten Auswirkungen waren histopathologische Veränderungen der Kiemen, veränderte Genexpressionen der Gonadotropine und eine erhöhte Expression von Vitellogenin. Die Ergebnisse legen eine stärkere östrogene Aktivität von DCF im Vergleich zu MTP nahe. Zusammenfassend sind die Bedenken gegenüber den Einzelsubstanzen eher gering, negative Auswirkungen auf die Reproduktion und sich verstärkende Effekte bei zeitgleicher Exposition gegenüber DCF und MTP lassen sich jedoch nicht ausschließen und sollten im Weiteren untersucht werden. / Surface waters worldwide are contaminated with low levels (ng/L up to few µg/L) of human pharmaceuticals. Diclofenac (DCF; non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory) and metoprolol (MTP; ß-blocker) are highly consumed and therefore commonly detected. Their biological activity is not restricted to humans. Well conserved enzymes within the vertebrates suggest effects on non-target organisms such as fish, poorly studied in long-term exposure experiments using environmentally relevant concentrations. In the presented work, physiological effects of DCF and MTP on the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), an important aquaculture fish species, were studied. Using primary hepatocytes, it was shown in vitro that environmentally relevant concentrations of DCF increased the gene expression of different key enzymes of the detoxification, while MTP exposure had a less clear effect. Both substances induced vitellogenin gene expression, but only after DCF exposure this was significantly elevated already at the environmentally relevant concentration. In vivo, two long-term exposure studies on the physiological effects from the fertilized egg until 80 days post-hatch were evaluated. Both substances did not affect hatching success and survival, while growth was slightly reduced after 80 days post-hatch. Histopathological alterations of the gills, changed gene expression patterns of the gonadotropins and induced vitellogenin gene expression were the most dominant findings. The results indicate a stronger estrogenic mode of action of DCF compared to MTP. Overall, the risk due to a single substance exposure seems to be relatively low but adverse effects on reproduction and additive effects during simultaneous exposure to DCF and MTP cannot be excluded and should be investigated further.

Study on the locally available aquatic macrophytes as fish feed for rural aquaculture purposes in South AmericaVelásquez, Yorcelis Carmelina Cruz 19 May 2016 (has links)
Zur Sicherung der Fischbestände muss die Aquakultur ihren Beitrag zur Weltfischversorgung weiter steigern. Solange jedoch die Fischfutter Produktion stark von der Gewinnung von Fischmehl abhängig ist, bestehen für die Aquakultur natürliche Begrenzungen und die Gefahr der Überfischung der Fischbestände bleibt erhalten. Wenn das Wachstumspotenzial der Aquakultur ausgeschöpft werden soll, müssen beträchtliche Mengen von Nährstoffeinträgen in Form von vollständigen Aquakultur-Mischfuttermitteln auf einer nachhaltigen Basis verfügbar sein. Aufgrund des gestiegenen Preises von kommerziellem Fischfutter sind Kleinproduzenten nicht in der Lage dieses zu erwerben. Daher ist es notwendig, ihnen alternatives Fischfutter zur Verfügung zu stellen. Wasserpflanzen können eine bedeutende Nahrungsquelle für herbivore- und omnivore Fische sein. Dennoch ist die Nutzung dieser Pflanzen als Zusatz für Fischfutter durch eine Reihe antinutritiver Substanzen, welche das normale Fischwachstum negativ beeinträchtigen, begrenzt. Unterschiedliche Behandlungen der Pflanzen können den Anteil an antinutritiven Substanzen reduzieren. Das Ziel dieser Dissertation war es, das nutritive Potential von Wasserpflanzen zu bestimmen. Die Wirkung der Behandlungen wie Sonnentrocknung oder Fermentierung zu bewerten und den Effekt ihrer Nutzung als Fischfutter auf das Wachstum von kultivierten Fischen zu erfassen. Dazu wurden Rationen mit einem geringen Gehalt an Fischmehl (3%) und bis zu 25% der Wasserpflanzen an die Fischspezies P. brachypomus und O. niloticus verfüttert. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen dass, eine ausschließlich auf aquatischen Makrophyten basierende Fütterung nicht empfehlenswert ist. Indem sie jedoch mit anderen lokal verfügbaren Agrar-Nebenerzeugnissen oder sogar mit kommerziellen Futtermitteln kombiniert werden, könnten die Futterkosten erheblich reduziert werden und bäuerlichen Kleinbetrieben eine Möglichkeit zum Wettbewerb auf den lokalen Märkten eröffnen. / It is commonly known that aquaculture needs to increase further its net contribution to the total world fish supplies. However, at present almost all farming operations, based on the use of fish feed, are highly dependent on available fishery resources for the production of fish meal, becoming a reducing activity rather than an activity suppling fishery resources. If the aquaculture growth potential is to be maintained, then considerable quantities of nutrient inputs in the form of aquafeeds will have to be available on a sustainable basis. On a long-term the small producers will be unable to depend on commercial aquafeeds based traditionally on fish meal, due to its increased price. Small-scale farmers need an alternative fish feed wherever possible based on the use of non-food grade locally feed resources, which is available in rural areas, is low-cost and is suitable for the proper growth and maintenance of native fish. Aquatic plants are considered important nutritional sources for herbivorous-omnivorous fish. However, the use of plant-derived materials as fish feed ingredient is limited by the presence of wide variety of antinutrients that affect the normal fish growth negatively; so that plants should be processed to reduce the effects of these compounds. Considering these aspects, this study assessed the nutritional potential of aquatic plants available in rural Colombia treated by sun drying and by fermentation and the effect of their use as fish feed on the growth performance of common cultured tropical fish (Piaractus brachypomus and Oreochromis niloticus) fed low fishmeal diets (3%) and until 25% of aquatic plants. The results of this study showed that a feeding exclusively based on aquatic plants is not recommendable; but to combine them with other locally available by-products of agriculture or even with commercial diets might considerably reduce feeding cost and provide to the small-scale farmers the opportunity to compete in local markets.

Previous issue date: 2009-05-29 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The food chain theory predict that presence of omnivory prevent the trophic cascade and could be a strong stabilizing factor over resource and consumer community dynamics, and that the nutrient enrichment destabilize populations dynamics. Most of the freshwater tropical reservoirs are eutrophic, and strategies that seek improve the water quality through the control of phytoplankton biomass and nutrient input, become essential for the improvement and preservation of water quality. The aim of this study was test the zooplanktivory (when larvae) and omnivory (when young and adult) effects of Nile Tilapia over the structure and dynamics of plankton communities, in addition or absence of nutrients enrichment. For this, one field experiment was performed with a factorial design 2x3 resulting in six treatments: control, without fish and nutrient (C); with omnivorous fish (O); with zooplanktivorous fish (Z); without fish and with enrichment of nutrients (NP); with omnivorous fish and nutrients (ONP); and, with zooplanktivorous fish and nutrients (ZNP). The two planktivory types reduced the zooplankton biomass and increased the phytoplankton biomass, but the omnivory of filter-feeding fish attenuated the trophic cascade magnitude. The fertilization by nutrients increases the nutrient concentrations in water and the phytoplankton biomass, but the effect on zooplankton is dependent of the trophic structure. In a general way, the effects of the fish and nutrient addition were addictive, but significant interactions among those factors were observed in the answer of some zooplankton groups. The effects of omnivorous fish over the temporal variability of phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass were very variable, the increase or reduce in variability of the plankton depending of the level of nutrients and of the analyzed variable. With base in this study, we conclude that the planktivory type exercised by the fish and the concentrations of nutrients in the water affects the force of pelagic trophic cascades and probably the success of biomanipulation programs for the handling of water quality in lakes and tropical reservoirs / A teoria de cadeias alimentares prev? que a presen?a de onivoria pode atenuar os efeitos de cascata tr?fica e estabilizar as popula??es de aut?trofos e herb?voros, as quais s?o desestabilizadas pela fertiliza??o por nutrientes. Tendo em vista que muitos lagos e reservat?rios tropicais encontram-se eutrofizados, estrat?gias que visem o controle do aporte de nutrientes e a redu??o da biomassa fitoplanct?nica s?o essenciais para a melhoria da qualidade da ?gua desses ambientes. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da zooplanctivoria e onivoria por uma mesma esp?cie de peixe (Til?pia do Nilo), que quando larva ? zooplanct?vora e quando jovem e adulta torna-se filtradora on?vora, sobre a estrutura e din?mica das comunidades planct?nicas, na presen?a e aus?ncia de enriquecimento por nutrientes. Para tanto, foi realizado um experimento com desenho fatorial 2 x 3, resultando em 6 tratamentos: sem adi??o de peixes ou nutrientes (C); com adi??o de peixes zooplanct?voros (Z); com adi??o de peixes on?voros (O); com adi??o de nutrientes (NP); com adi??o de peixes zooplanct?voros e nutrientes (ZNP); e com adi??o de peixes on?voros e nutrientes (ONP). Os resultados mostram que os dois tipos de planct?voros reduziram a biomassa zooplanct?nica e aumentaram a biomassa fitoplanct?nica, mas que a onivoria dos peixes filtradores atenuou a magnitude das cascatas tr?ficas. Os resultados tamb?m mostram que a fertiliza??o por nutrientes aumenta as concentra??es de nutrientes na ?gua e a biomassa fitoplanct?nica, mas que o efeito sobre o zoopl?ncton depende da estrutura tr?fica. De um modo geral, os efeitos da adi??o de peixes e nutrientes foram aditivos, mas intera??es significativas entre esses fatores foram observadas na resposta de alguns grupos zooplanct?nicos. Os efeitos dos peixes on?voros sobre a variabilidade temporal da biomassa do fitopl?ncton e do zoopl?ncton foram muito vari?veis, aumentando ou reduzindo a variabilidade do pl?ncton dependendo do n?vel de nutrientes e da vari?vel analisada. ? poss?vel concluir, com base neste estudo, que o tipo de planctivoria exercido pelos peixes e as concentra??es de nutrientes na ?gua afetam a for?a das cascatas tr?ficas pel?gicas e provavelmente o sucesso dos programas de biomanipula??o para o manejo da qualidade da ?gua de lagos e reservat?rios tropicais

Potential of purpose-specific fish feeds for aquaponics and circular multitrophic food production systemsShaw, Christopher 27 May 2024 (has links)
Durch die Nutzung des fischfutterbedingten Nährstoffeintrags für die kombinierte Produktion von Fischen und Pflanzen können Aquaponiksysteme eine nachhaltige Erweiterung von Kreislaufanlagen der Aquakultur (RAS) darstellen. Herkömmliche Aquakulturfutter zielen jedoch auf Fischproduktion mit geringer Umweltbelastung ab und sind somit nicht für die Aquaponik optimiert. Daher weist RAS-Wasser häufig Mängel im Profil gelöster anorganischer Pflanzennährstoffe auf. So war es Ziel dieser Arbeit, die Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Proteinquellen auf die Nährstoffdynamik in RAS durch Fütterungsversuche mit Afrikanischem Raubwels und Nil-Tilapia zu untersuchen, bei denen Wachstum, gelöste anorganische Nährstoffkonzentrationen im RAS-Wasser und die Ausscheidung von Nährstoffen über den Kot verfolgt wurden. Der Fokus lag auf nachhaltigen alternativen Proteinquellen zu marinem Fischmehl und terrestrischen Pflanzenproteinen: Larvenmehl der Schwarzen Soldatenfliege (BSFM), Welsschlachtabfallmehl (CM), Geflügelschlachtabfallmehl (PM) und Geflügelblutmehl (PBM). Experimentalfutter, die phosphorreiches PM und CM enthielten, förderten erhöhte Ausscheidung von löslichem reaktivem Phosphor, erzeugten die besten gelösten N:P-Verhältnisse im RAS-Wasser verglichen mit einer Hydroponik-Nährlösung und ermöglichten in Kombination mit PBM besseres Wachstum beim Wels als ein vergleichbares kommerzielles Futter. In Futtern basierend auf einer einzigen Proteinquelle führte PM bei Wels und insbesondere bei Tilapia zu ähnlichem Wachstum verglichen mit marinem Fischmehl, wohingegen BSFM und PBM bei beiden Arten Wachstumsleistung beeinträchtigte. Meta-Analysen aller Versuche legen nahe, dass höherer Phosphor-, Kalium- und Magnesiumgehalt im Futter erhöhte Ausscheidung dieser Elemente in gelöster Form bedingt, was sie zu Zielnährstoffen in Aquaponikfuttern macht, während die Optimierung des Protein zu Energie-Verhältnisses im Futter die gelösten N:P- und N:K-Verhältnisse im RAS-Wasser verbessern kann. / By using the nutrient input from fish feeds for the combined production of fish and plants, aquaponic systems can be a sustainable extension of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). However, conventional aquaculture feeds are optimized for fish production and reduced environmental impact rather than aquaponics. Hence, RAS water is often characterized by deficiencies regarding its dissolved inorganic plant nutrient profile. Therefore, this thesis aimed to explore the effect of purposeful dietary protein choice on nutrient dynamics in RAS through four systematic feeding trials involving African catfish and Nile tilapia in which growth performance, dissolved inorganic nutrient concentrations in RAS water and solid fecal nutrient excretion were tracked. Focus was on sustainable alternative protein sources to marine fish meal and terrestrial plant proteins: black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFM), catfish by-product meal (CM), poultry by-product meal (PM) and poultry blood meal (PBM). Experimental diets including phosphorus-rich PM and CM supported increased excretion of soluble reactive phosphorus, produced the most favorable dissolved N:P ratios in RAS water when compared to a renowned hydroponic nutrient solution, and, combined with PBM, enabled better growth performance in African catfish than a comparable commercial diet. In single protein source diets, PM produced similar growth performance in African catfish and particularly Nile tilapia versus marine fish meal, whereas BSFM and PBM impaired growth performance in both species. Meta-analyses covering all trials suggest that higher dietary phosphorus, potassium and magnesium content leads to their increased excretion in dissolved form, making them target nutrients for aquaponic feed formulation, while the optimization of the dietary protein to energy ratio can further improve dissolved N:P and N:K ratios in RAS water.
