    In order to grasp the current status of fish resources in the sea area, according to the fish data obtained from the bottom trawling survey of fishery resources in the adjacent waters of Shengsi Archipelago in April 2017, the relative importance index, Shannon-Weaver index, biomass curve and other methods were used. We analyzed the fish species composition, dominant species, spatial distribution of species quantity, and biodiversity in this sea area to perfect the research content of fishery resources in Zhoushan sea area, and provided scientific basis for rational utilization and protection of fishery resources in Zhoushan coastal waters. A total of 33 fish species had been identified in this area, among which the dominant species were Colichthys lucidus, Pampus argenteus, Harpodon nehereus and Coilia mystus. Compared with historical data, the number of fish species in this sea area has decreased sharply, and the dominant species have changed significantly. The sum of the tails accounted for 86.48% of the total catches, and the sum of the dominant species quality accounted for 77.67% of the total catches. Since C. lucidus, P. argenteus, H. nehereus and C. mystus were economic fish, the economic fish in the surveyed sea area accounts for a relatively large proportion and has high economic value. The number of fish species in each station was between 9 and 20, and the number of fish species in the northern area of the surveyed sea was relatively high, possibly because the northern area of the surveyed sea was open sea, relatively far from the island, and relatively less suffered from human interference. The biodiversity analysis showed that the higher position (H') 10 indicated that the population structure of the western sea area of Shengsi Archipelago had higher complexity and the evenness index (H') value was lower, which might be due to the low diversity index caused by the pollution of Zhoushan waters. The results of cluster analysis showed that at the 60% similarity level, each survey station could be divided into 4 groups, and the characteristic species that had a great influence on the similarity were mainly Miichthys miiuy, P. argenteus, H. nehereus and C. mystus. The spatial difference of fish community structure in this sea area was quite large, which might be due to the large difference in the dominance of dominant species in different stations, resulting in a large difference in the basic characteristics of the community; the overall distribution of the fourth group of stations showed the southwest-northeast trend, located near the island of Shengsi and Lǜhua xiang, which might be related to the hydrological environmental factors of the coastal waters, which made the stations in this group had a higher degree of similarity; most of the stations with higher numbers of fish were located near Lǜhua xiang. It might be because spring was the main spawning season for fish, and the sea area was a spawning ground for fish. The bait was relatively abundant near the islands and reefs, which attracted most fish to inhabit here. According to ABC curve analysis, the spring curve was stable, and the biomass dominance curve had always been below the abundance dominance curve, indicating that the fish community in the adjacent waters of Zhoushan Shengsi Archipelago had been seriously disturbed. It might be that the waters were greatly affected by human factors. Its stability was reduced.

    Due to the differences in the principles of biological index and the habitat characteristics of the study area, the evaluation results were different when using different evaluation indexes to evaluate the regional habitat quality. It was more important to analyze the applicability of the existing indexes in the evaluation than to propose a new index. Based on the survey data of macrobenthos in spring (March) and autumn (October) of Xinghua Bay in 2016, this study firstly used different benthos evaluation indexes (Shannon Weaver index H', AMBI, and M-AMBI) to evaluate the benthos environment quality of Xinghua Bay, and analyzed the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of each index. By comparing the results of the three indexes and analyzing the correlations between them and the factors of sediment and water quality, the applicability of the biological evaluation index in the Xinghua Bay was explored. The results of the three indexes were consistent in spring, but different in autumn. The M-AMBI and H' indexes had better correlation with nitrogen and phosphorus in water. The M-AMBI index was the best index for the assessment of benthic environment quality in Xinghua Bay, which was characterized by low organic concentration, sensitive species as the main composition of macrobenthos and obvious seasonal change of biomass. The overall evaluation results were good in spring and average in autumn. It was also found that the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of benthic environment quality were closely related to the factors such as the river entering the Bay, aquaculture activities and the tide power of Xinghua. This study analyzed the application and applicability of the existing biological index in Xinghua Bay, hoping to provide theoretical support for the ecological monitoring and management planning of Xinghua Bay.

    Based on the net-phytoplankton data collected from Mindong coastal waters in summer from 2008 to 2017, a total of 4 phyla, 8 category, including 263 species of phytoplankton were identified in recent 10 years, in which diatoms and dinoflagellates were the most dominant species, and 31.56% were red-tide species with potential risk,and the main principal phytoplankton ecotypes were eurythermy species. Interannual variability of species had great change, with the highest in 2017, and the lowest in 2012. The species cell abundances varied from 267.03×104 to 44 379.31×104ind/m3, while cell abundance of phytoplankton community depended on the cell abundance of diatom. Except 2008, the interannual variability of cell abundance showed bimodal type trend, with the highest in 2008, and the lowest in 2013. The distribution of phytoplankton abundance kept a trend of higher outside bay and lower inside bay, higher in the north coast and lower in the south coast, higher inshore and lower offshore. Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros curvisetus and Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima were the common dominant species. The interannual variability of community diversity had great changes, with a sharp decline after the first rise, and then rise. The diversity level was low during the survey. The multiplaction of phytoplankton led to the low diversity level of phytoplankton, species inbalance, monotony of community, and appeared miniaturization phenomenon. Instead it showed that Mindong caostal waters was polluted by human disturbance.

    Partial mitochondrial COI gene region of 30 individuals of Soletellina diphos collected from Nanri Island, Fujian. China, were cloned by PCR and directly sequenced from both directions to detect the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) among individuals and genetic diversity of the natural population on molecular level. Evidently, the content of (A+T) base in COI was higer than that of (G+C) base, and its average nucleotide percentage composition of T, C, A and G were 41.95%, 16.07%, 18.53% and 23.45%, respectively. According to the mutation form, mutation frequency and mutation distribution, a total of 13 SNP loci were detected in those 655 base pairs of gene fragments, containing 12 transformations and 1 transversion (R=13.04). And 9 haplotypes were found in 30 samples through multi-sequences alignment. One SNP locus located at 203 bp of which was nonsynonymous mutation that caused the change between Leucine and Phenylalanine, while the other 12 variation sites had synonymous mutations after amino acid analysis. There was no distinct relevancy between different SNP loci. Population of S. diphos displayed just slightly higher than standard haplotype diversity index (Hd) of (0.598 0 ± 0.103 0) and relatively lower nucleotide diversity index (Pi) of (0.002 9 ± 0.000 6), with the average nucleotide difference (k) of 1.912 6 based on COI sequences. The Kimura 2-parameter genetic distance between different individuals in the specimen ranged from 0 to 0.009 2, and the total average distance was (0.002 9 ± 0.001 0). Results of both the Tajima’s D and Fu’s Fs neutral tests were not significantly negative, illustrating that the inheritance of this population was relatively stable. Historical test results of seawater samples collected around the area of Nanri Island from April 2008 to December 2018 were detailed analyzed in order to get to know about the habitat conditions of S. diphos through obtaining the seasonal and monthly changing rule of 10 physical and chemical indexes such as salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a, transparency, chemical oxygen demand, inorganic nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus and petroleum. The annual trend of water environment factors data expressed that S. diphos mainly lived in the intertidal zone and shallow water where the range of monthly average seawater salinity, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a, transparency, chemical oxygen demand, inorganic nitrogen, inorganic phosphorus and petroleum was 26.84~34.33, 13.27~29.33℃, 7.89~8.54, 5.64~9.31 mg/L, 0.33 ~15.57 μg/L, 0.40 ~1.79 m, 0.22 ~1.59 mg/L, 0.04 ~0.45 mg/L, 0~0.16 mg/L and 0 ~0.20 mg/L, respectively. The yearly changes of salinity and temperature from spring to autumn rose and then fell, with the highest value in summer. Every spring to summer, pH and dissolved oxygen demonstrated a fluctuation of decrease in the same way. Meanwhile the tendency of inorganic nitrogen decreased first and increased later from spring to autumn, with the lowest value in summer. Except for chemical oxygen demand and petroleum content, the annual changes of the other three factors all showed an obvious or a certain seasonal difference rule. It also indicated that S. diphos could grow and reproduce well under the above physical and chemical conditions of seawater environment in the nearshore area of Nanri Island.

    Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CQN-2 was an endogenous bacteria isolated from the intestinal tract of Apostichopus japonicus, which showed many biological activities such as disease resistance and growth promotion. To investigate the optimal culture medium components and fermentation conditions, the bacterial biomass was used as indicator to determine the optimal conditions of CQN-2 strain growth by single factor test and orthogonal experiment design. The optimal nutritional conditions and optimal fermentation conditions were screened. The results showed that the optimum carbon source of CQN-2 strain was soluble starch, and the optimum nitrogen source was bacteriological peptone. The optimal medium composition was as followed: soluble starch 20 g/L, bacteriological peptone 30 g/L, molasses 50 g/L, KH2PO4 0.5 g/L, MgSO4 0.5 g/L, NaCl 0.3 g/L, Mn2+ 5 mmol/L and Al3+ 1 mmol/L. The optimum fermentation conditions were initial pH 7.0, inoculation rate was 3%, and medium capacities was 25 mL/250 mL. Then the strain CQN-2 was prepared with high density fermentation in 5 L fermentation tank under optimized conditions for 36 h, while the viable cell count of strain CQN-2 was 3.03×1012 cfu/mL.

    Acute salinity stress on Terapon jarbua caught from local sea area at the Donghai Island in south Guangdong Province were carried out at Marine Research Centre in Donghai Island in Oct. 2011. A groups of salinity gradient of 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, and 65 were designed to assess salinity stress effect using the survival rate, survival time, water absorption and dehydration rates, as well as the food intake as key assessment indicator at the water temperature of 26.0~29.5℃, while the salinity in control group was set as 30. The results showed that, under the salinity of 5~40 (named the treatment 5~40, the same as below), the survival time span of Terapon jarbua was more than 72 h. In the treatment 65, the survival rate was 30% in 2 h, and decreased to 0% in 4 h. In the treatment 60, the survival rate was 36.7% in 24 h and 30% in 48h. In the treatment 55, the survival rate was 53.3% in 24 h and 50% in 48h. In the treatment 50, the survival rate was 90.0% in 24 h. In the treatment 0, the survival rate was 83.3% in 24 h. After being restored back to the original salinity (30) and continuous observed for 48 h after 72 h, the survival rate fell to 81%. The average death time span in the treatment 65 was less than any other treatments. The extreme salinity stress on the net weight and the dehydration rate of T. jarbua were measured, which was 10.4% in 1 h and 12.7% in 2 h in the treatment 65. In the treatment 60, the dehydration rate was 12.6% in 2 h. In the treatment 5, the water absorption rate was 2.4% in 2 h, 1% in 8 h, and 0.1% in 24 h, respectively. In the treatment 0, the water absorption rate was 6.5% in 2 h, 13.3% in 8 h, 10.4% in 24 h, respectively. The food intake of all of the survive fishes were normal at 24 h after the recovery experiment. The results above indicated the suitable salinity for survival and food intake of T. jarbua was 5~40.

    The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of formulated diet (FD) and trash fish diet (TFD) on mud crab, Scylla paramamosain in integrated multi-trophic seawater pond system, while the feeding trial lasted 5 months. The results showed that there were no significant differences among the average body weight, hepatopancreas index and gonadosomatic index of S. paramamosain randomly selected from two dietary treatments (P>0.05). The crude protein content of muscle in crabs fed with FD was significantly higher than that of in TFD (P<0.05). The protease activity of crabs in FD pond was higher than that of in TFD pond, while the stomach amylase activity was significantly lower (P<0.05). The trypsin activity in gut was higher of crabs fed with TFD (P<0.05). The water quality indexes including NH3--N, NO2--N, NO3--N, DRP and TOC in TFD pond were high than those of in FD pond (P>0.05). At the genus level, the relative abundance of Marivitaa and other six taxa were significant higher in water of TFD pond (P<0.05), while the relative abundance of Geothermobacter and other eight taxa in sediment samples were higher in TFD pond (P<0.05). The total production (crab+shrimp+shellfish) and profit in FD pond were 374 kg and 6 210 yuan per 667㎡, respectively, increasing by 5.9% and 42.6% than those of in TFD pond. In general, the formulated diet was determined to be more ecologically and economically sustainable than the trash fish diet for mud crab in the present aquaculture system.

    This study aimed to investigate the low-salt tolerance of various larval offspring of Litopenaeus vannamei A, B, C, and D groups from inbreeding and/or hybridization so as to discover technologies of selection and breeding. The larvae used for study were in the growth period of P11~P12 with body length of 6.09~7.54mm. Over the experimental period of 48h, the water temperature was at 25.0~29.3℃. The survival rate at 48h and factors such as body length were used to evaluate the low salt tolerance of larvae from different provenances. The results showed that at salinity 3, among the 17 experimental groups,6 reporting lower survival rates (17.69%~57.37%) uncovered significant differences in survival rate of being tolerant to low salt (P<0.05) with the other 11 reporting higher ones (68.72%~96.10%). The 2 groups with the best tolerance to low salt were the progenies and backcrosses of group A and group D, respectively. The two with the lowest tolerance to low salt were the self-bred progenies of group D and group C. It was suggested that there were differences in the low salt tolerance of larval offspring from different provenances and/or different mating modes. The results could provide reference for prawn breeding research.

    A total of 129 mature individuals of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (65 females and 64 males) were collected. Morphometric parameters of rostrum length, carapace length, carapace width, carapace height, abdomen length, body length, second cheliped length, total length and body weight between male and female prawns were measured to study sexual dimorphism of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Body length and body weight of mature male prawn were significantly larger than female prawn through independent sample t?test (P<0.001). Sexual dimorphism index of carapace length, carapace width, carapace height, abdomen length, second cheliped length and body length between male and female prawns was above 1 indicating that male prawn was larger than female prawn. The differences were not statistically significant of rostrum length between sexes by One-way ANCOVA (F=1.279, P=0.260), there are significant differences of carapace length, carapace width, carapace height, abdomen length and second cheliped length between male and female prawns by using One-way ANCOVA (P<0.01). Analysis of the carapace length?body length, carapace width?body length, carapace height?body length and second cheliped length?body length relationship of male and female Macrobrachium rosenbergii revealed that males grew faster than females, but abdomen length?body length relationship of males and females indicated that female’s abdomen grew faster than males. Sexual selection allowed males to have a larger body size and second cheliped to ensure that they could effectively defeat competitors in reproductive competition and enhance mating success.
