Artemia is an important biological feed for aquatic animals.In this study,Saccharomyces cerevisiae,powder of Chlorella pyenoidosa,and fermented shrimp flake were fed to new hatched Artemia nauplii to evaluate the effects of different diets on the growth,survival,and nutritional composition of Artemia nauplii.Results showed that after 6 days feeding,the fermented shrimp flake feed group had the largest average body length,which were significantly larger than that of the S.cerevisiae group and the powder of C.pyenoidosa group (P<0.05).The survival rate of Artemia nauplii fed with S.cerevisiae was the lowest,but there were no significant differences between the powder of C.pyenoidosa group and the fermented shrimp flake group (P>0.05).After 6 days feeding,the crude protein content of Artemia nauplii significantly increased,but the crude fat content significantly decreased compared to Artemia nauplii (P<0.05).The protein content of Artemia nauplii in the powder of C.pyenoidosa group and the fermented shrimp flakes group was significantly higher than that in the S.cerevisiae group (P<0.05).Furthermore,the highest crude fat content was obtained in Artemia nauplii that were fed with the fermented shrimp flakes.The fermented shrimp flakes group had the highest total amino acid (TAA) content and essential amino acid (EAA) content.All experimental groups contained high levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA),but the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was undetectable.The total fatty acid content and polyunsaturated fatty acid content in the fermented shrimp flakes group were significantly higher than those in the powder of C.pyenoidosa group and the S.cerevisiae group (P<0.05).However,the Artemia nauplii fed with powder of C.pyenoidosa had significantly higher high unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) content and EPA content than the fermented shrimp flakes group as well as the S.cerevisiae group (P<0.05).The outcome of this study provided that fermented shrimp flakes and powder of C.pyenoidosa had advantages in enhancing the nutrition of Artemia,and could be used for Artemia production and nutrient enhancement.

In order to investigate the retention and elimination of furacillin metabolites (semicarbazide,SEM) in the muscle of T.flavidus following the use of furacilin during the breeding process,the aquaculture pond was treated with 0.50 g/m³ of furacillin.Muscle samples of T.flavidus were then collected at regular intervals.The concentrations of SEM were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry,and the data was analyzed by using Excel 2013.The results showed that furacillin was rapidly metabolized to SEM in T.flavidus after dosing.The levels of SEM in the muscles increased rapidly,reaching their highest value after approximately 4 days.The elimination rate of SEM was initially fast,but slowed down over time.Even after 77 days following dosing,the residual amount of SEM in the muscles was still around 2.50 μg/kg,which was above the limit of detection.This suggests that SEM has a prolonged residual time in T.flavidus after the administration of furacilin.Based on these findings,it is strongly recommended to strictly prohibit the use of nitrofurans,such as furacilin,during the breeding process of T.flavidus,in order to ensure the quality and safety of puffer fish.

A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the quantitative determination of mebendazole in aquaculture water.The limit of quantification was 0.5 μg/L.The average recoveries of the three spiked levels ranged from 79.0% to 93.9%.The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 7.57%-8.27% and 7.43%-8.11%,respectively.The actual application concentrations of 15 μg/L and 50 μg/L were used as the tested concentrations for the elimination experiments of mebendazole in aquaculture water,respectively.The results showed that mebendazole was a photosensitive drug whose photodegradation followed the first-order kinetics.The photolytic degradation rate of mebendazole in outdoor aquaculture water under natural light was more than 80% after 648 h.The elimination half-life of mebendazole was 231.05 h at 15-18℃.At the end of the experiment (648 h),6.4 μg/L of mebendazole was still detected in the high concentration group(50 μg/L).Therefore,the results of this study could provide basic data for the pharmacokinetic study of mebendazole in aquaculture animals.
