Journal: Chinese Fisheries Science, December 2023

Research Question:

In order to provide a basis for subsequent breeding, popularization and application, the differences in the growth performance and nutritional quality of adult crabs in four breeding bases of Shanghai Songjiang Sanmao Town, Baoshan Luojing Town, Chongming Hengsha Township and Chongming Sanxing Town were compared.

Differences in growth performance: There were significant differences in body weight, plumpness, hepatopancreatic index and gonadal index of the experimental crabs cultured in different regions (P<0.05), and the growth variation was greater when the breeding environment was poor.

Heritability evaluation: The overall heritability of body weight and shell length of the selected population was 0.358 and 0.357, respectively, which belonged to medium heritability.

Differences in nutrient composition: There were significant differences in the content of total blood lymphatic cholesterol and the activities of lipase and amylase in hepatopancreas among different bases (P<0.05).

Differences in amino acid and fatty acid contents: There were significant differences in crude protein, crude fat, essential amino acids, non-essential amino acids, saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids in adult crab muscle and hepatopancreas (P<0.05).

Journal: Chinese Fisheries Science, January 2024

Research Question:

In order to improve the quality and survival rate of shrimp seedlings and reduce the occurrence of diseases in the seedling process, the water quality was improved by adding microecological agents such as photosynthetic bacteria and other microecological agents to maintain the stability of the biological flora in the pond.

Key Contributions:

Broodstock storage: optimize storage conditions and density, strictly manage bait feeding and water quality control.

Spawning and incubation: Improving spawning pools and incubation processes to ensure efficient incubation and high survival rates.

Shrimp seedling cultivation: Through the use of bait feeding and microecological preparations at different stages, the cultivation process of nauplii larvae, mysis shrimp larvae and larvae was optimized, and the growth rate and quality of shrimp seedlings were significantly improved.

Disease prevention and control: Through early preventive measures, such as strict screening of seedlings, reducing cultivation density, and using microecological preparations, the occurrence of diseases is effectively reduced and the success rate of seedling raising is guaranteed.

Research Question:

To study the effects of temperature, salinity and density on the growth and survival of Ruditapes philippinarum, and to construct a model for the growth and survival of larvae under different environmental conditions to determine the most suitable growth conditions, so as to optimize the cultivation management of seedlings and improve the quality and yield of seedlings.

Key Contributions:

Influence of temperature: It was found that temperature had a significant effect on the growth of juvenile shells (P<0.05), and the increase of temperature caused the shell length to increase first and then decrease, and the optimal growth temperature was 24.32°C.

Effect of salinity: The effect of salinity on the growth of juvenile shells was also very significant (P<0.05), and the salinity of the optimal growth was 21.13.

Density effect: Density had a significant effect on the growth of juvenile shells (P<0.05), and the optimal growth density was 2.88×10^4 grains/m².

Interaction: The secondary effects of temperature, salinity and density had a significant effect on the growth of juvenile shellfish, but the interaction between the three was not significant (P>0.05).
