有机肥与化肥的生产能耗、投入成本和环境效益比较分析——以污泥堆肥生产有机肥为例

针对目前国内肥料生产和施用现状,分别从能耗、成本和污染物排放等三个方面对有机肥和化肥进行比较分析。化肥生产呈现高能耗和高污染排放,而有机肥则表现为低能耗、无污染的特点,同时还可消纳废弃物,减轻污染负荷。从投入成本上分析,化肥相对于有机肥具有一定优势,其单位面积和折纯养分投入分别是有机肥的53%和26%。有机肥相对于化肥,其污染物排放负荷很低。从节能减排和降低投入的角度,提出支持基于废弃物资源化的有机肥产业化发展。     

黄粉虫幼虫降解城市污泥环境影响因子研究

黄粉虫(Tenebrio molitor L.)含有丰富的营养物质和多种氨基酸,常被作为特种畜禽养殖的鲜活饵料或蛋白质饲料添加剂,但是其饲喂原料要么成本较高,要么为了降低成本而导致其死亡率上升。利用城市污泥饲喂黄粉虫幼虫,以期达到既降低黄粉虫饲喂成本,又为城市污泥的资源化利用提供一个新的解决途径的目的。采用正交试验设计进行了四因素多水平试验,研究不同环境影响因子(温度条件、污泥和麦麸配比比例、黄粉虫幼虫饲养密度及虫体规格大小)对黄粉虫幼虫生长速率、死亡率的影响,通过分析比较试验饲养前后黄粉虫及虫粪和饲料剩余物混合物中营养成分、金属元素含量变化,探讨黄粉虫幼虫在城市污泥中生长的适宜条件,以及黄粉虫处理城市污泥的效果。利用城市污泥饲喂黄粉虫幼虫时,饲养温度在20~25℃,饲养密度为0.2 g·cm~(-2),污泥和麦麸配比为1∶1时黄粉虫幼虫生长快,死亡率低。利用城市污泥喂养后黄粉虫幼虫氮含量显著降低(P0.05),磷、钾、钙、镁含量提高;提高;与城市污泥相比,黄粉虫幼虫虫粪的磷含量显著提高(P0.05),氮、钾、钙、镁含量则降低。

在樱桃谷肉鸭的基础日粮中添加丁酸钠,研究了丁酸钠对肉鸭生产性能及粪便中污染物含量和排放量的影响.结果表明,添加350、700和1 050 mg·kg-1丁酸钠处理(试验组2、3、4)料重比较对照(试验组1)均显著降低,分别降低4.95%、6.71%和4.59%(P＜0.05),0～3周试验组3和4肉鸭日增质量较对照提高9.16%和9.47%(P＜0.05);添加丁酸钠可显著降低鸭粪中TN、TP、氨氮、有机质、Cu和Zn含量(P＜0.05),试验组3对TN、TP、氨氮和Zn的降低效果最好,分别较对照组减少6.15%、17.36%、59.98%和18.96%;不同水平丁酸钠处理鸭粪中污染物排放量均较对照显著降低(P＜0.05),试验组3对污染物TN、TP、氨氮、有机质和Zn的减排效果最好,而试验组4对Cu的减排效果最佳.在肉鸭饲料中添加700 mg·kg-1丁酸钠可获得最佳的生产性能和减排效果.     

大豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂对斜纹夜蛾生长发育的影响

以广食性害虫斜纹夜蛾（Prodenia litura Fabriciu）为研究对象,连续6代自二龄或三龄开始用含有大豆胰蛋白酶抑制剂（soybean trypsin inhibitor,SBTI）的人工饲料饲养幼虫,饲养至乳化时分别测定SBTI对斜纹夜蛾幼虫体质量、发育历期和蛹质量的影响。结果表明,SBTI显著抑制幼虫体质量的增长,使幼虫发育延缓,连续饲养6代,与对照相比,对2龄、3龄SBTI处理的幼虫体质量的抑制率分别从60%降至21%、49%降至17%;SBTI显著抑制斜纹夜蛾的蛹质量,使蛹质量减轻,连续饲养6代,与对照相比,对2龄、3龄SBTI处理的幼虫其蛹质量的抑制率分别从37%降至4%、16%降至2%;SBTI延迟幼虫的生长发育,使得世代历期延长;而且SBTI对低龄幼虫的抑制作用更加显著。随着继代代数的增加,SBTI对幼虫体质量的抑制作用减小,体质量增长加快,幼虫发育期缩短;SBTI对蛹质量的抑制作用减弱,蛹质量增加,斜纹夜蛾世代历期缩短。研究结果说明斜纹夜蛾可以通过调节自身的生长发育过程,提高幼虫适应SBTI的能力,逐步缓解SBTI的抑制作用。     

煤矸石中金属和酸根离子的淋溶特性

为了确定煤矸石的污染析出特性及规律,以某高速公路的煤矸石为研究对象,通过实验室模拟大自然降雨的过程,并控制实验过程中的浸泡时间、pH、固液比及空隙率,对煤矸石进行淋溶实验.结果表明,在静态浸泡实验中,污染物浸出量随浸泡时间的延长而增大,48 h污染物析出达到平衡;煤矸石中污染物的浸出量随初始pH值的降低而增大;随固液比的增大而增大.煤矸石空隙率越小,污染物析出的质量浓度越高.在模拟自然降雨的第一次淋溶过程中,煤矸石中浸出的污染物质量浓度最大,从第二次的淋溶过程开始,污染物的释放量便迅速下降,并保持较平稳的溶解释放速率.实验结果说明,降雨次数和降雨量的增加会促进煤矸石中污染物的溶解释放.在煤矸石中混合黏土、砂砾等增加煤矸石的空隙率,可以降低污染物析出量,从而减轻煤矸石资源化利用中对沿线土壤和地下水的二次污染.

二嗪磷对鸟类脑组织乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的影响

为了初步研究有机磷农药二嗪磷对鸟类的毒性作用,采用室内饲喂染毒的方法,分析了二嗪磷对鹌鹑、鹧鸪及斑鸠3种鸟脑组织乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)活性的影响。鹌鹑、鹧鸪采用经食饲喂,染毒剂量分别为0、40、80、160、320、600mg·kg-1饲料和0、400、800、1600、3200、6000mg·kg-1饲料,试验周期8d;斑鸠采用拌种饲喂(1mL50%二嗪磷乳油拌500g麦种),染毒剂量为0、1.2、2.0、4.0、8.0mg·kg-1体重,一次性染毒后进行常规饲养,试验周期15d。结果表明,二嗪磷对3种鸟脑组织AChE活性均有一定程度的抑制作用:各染毒组死亡鸟AChE活性较对照降低显著(p<0.05,p<0.01),活性抑制率均超过40%;各染毒组存活鸟AChE活性较对照也有所降低,但活性抑制率均未超过20%.以上结果提示,抑制脑组织AChE活性可能是二嗪磷致鸟类死亡的重要原因。     

麦秸与奶牛场废水高固体混合厌氧发酵产甲烷研究

在实验室条件下,以麦秸和奶牛场废水为原料,设计麦秸与奶牛场废水质量比1∶4(T1)、1∶3(T2)和1∶2(T3)以及对照(麦秸与水质量比1∶4(T4))4个处理,研究发酵过程中日产气量、甲烷含量、发酵前后麦秸理化特性和结构的变化.结果表明,奶牛场废水与麦秸在中温、高固体条件下,厌氧发酵可以正常进行,且产气期延长2周以上,对甲烷含量的影响不大;厌氧发酵初始TS浓度对系统产气的影响较大,麦秸产气量随TS浓度的增加而降低,以T1的产气效果最好,麦秸TS产气量为0.41 L.g-1,较T4提高了17.14%,平均甲烷含量为48.78%;厌氧发酵后,麦秸半纤维素含量大幅降低,纤维素含量少许降低,降低幅度均为T1>T2>T4>T3,木质素含量稍有增加,各处理间无显著差异(P>0.05);FTIR和XRD的结果表明,厌氧发酵后,麦秸纤维素结晶区的相对含量增加,混合发酵可以促进厌氧微生物对麦秸纤维素结晶区的破坏.将麦秸与奶牛场废水(质量比)1∶4混合发酵产沼气是可行的,且促进了厌氧微生物对麦秸有机物的分解破坏,提高了麦秸产气量.     

饵料对稀有鮈鲫幼鱼和成鱼生长的影响及摄食优化策略研究

在实验室适宜的饲养条件下,进行不同发育阶段的稀有鮈鲫为期30 d的摄食-生长实验,研究3种饵料在投喂量分别为鱼体湿重的3.0%、4.0%和6.0%的3种摄食水平条件下,对稀有鮈鲫幼鱼(初始湿重为(0.0749±0.02)g)和成鱼(初始湿重为(0.2603±0.06)g)的生长影响。结果表明,不同摄食水平组的稀有鮈鲫幼鱼的相对增重率和特定生长率随摄食水平的增加而增加,但饲料转化率呈下降趋势;而稀有鮈鲫成鱼的相对增重率、特定生长率和饲料转化率的变化趋势基本相同。适宜摄食水平随稀有鮈鲫体重的增加而降低,稀有鮈鲫幼鱼和成鱼的适宜饵料分别为O.S.I.微细颗粒和O.S.I.细颗粒,适宜摄食水平分别为6.0%和4.0%。

Studies on the nutrition of marine flatfish. Growth of the plaice Pleuronectes platessa on diets containing proteins derived from plants and other sources

The growth of 0-group Pleuronectes platessa L. on diets containing plant proteins was examined. Diets were made acceptable to the fish by including in them cod flesh which had been predigested with proteolytic enzymes, as well as a proportion of air-dried cod meal. A leaf-protein concentrate was fed at 6 levels ranging from 0 to 63 % of the total dietary protein; B.P. protein concentrate (Toprina) and soyabean meal were examined at a single level — about 45 % of the dietary protein. The remainder of the protein in these diets was animal protein, cod meal or cod flesh. Analysis of the weight gains after a 12 week feeding period and of the growth curves showed that, as the proportion of leaf protein in the diet increased, the growth rate diminished, the effect becoming more pronounced when leaf protein reached 40 % or more of the dietary protein. Growth on the diet containing B.P. protein concentrate was superior to that on the diet containing soyabean meal and was comparable with diets containing low levels of leaf protein. The protein efficiency ratios (PER= g live weight gain/g protein fed) for the different diets showed similar trends to the growth rates. Diets containing 40 % or less of leaf protein and the B.P. protein diet had PERs of 1.4 to 1.5. The soyabean meal diet and diets containing more than 40 % of the protein as leaf protein had PERs of 1.0 or less. The results are considered in the context of production diets for flatfish.     

Replacement males in the western bluebird: opportunity for paternity, chick-feeding rules, and fitness consequences of male parental care

In western bluebirds (Sialia mexicana), most pairs remain together for life and share equally in post-hatching parental care. We removed resident males of socially monogamous pairs during laying and after clutch completion to examine chick-feeding rules used by replacement males and current and future fitness consequences of paternal care. Replacement males were not infanticidal and 7 (47%) fed nestlings. Feeding replacement males and the females they joined fed at rates similar to controls. Females without a feeding replacement male compensated by feeding more themselves so that overall feeding rates were not compromised, but they reduced their brooding time. Unlike assisted females, unassisted females exhibited reduced nesting success and their 14-day-old chicks weighed less than controls. Field metabolic rates of unassisted females were 17% higher than those of control females, but the difference was not statistically significant. Older females were better able to raise young without the male's help than were yearling females. Female condition was not affected by male provisioning and unassisted females were as likely to survive to the next breeding season as assisted females. We found no future benefits of provisioning by replacement males; those that fed were no more likely to breed with the female on her subsequent attempt than were males that did not feed, and subsequent clutch sizes were not reduced for females rearing young without the male's help. These experiments suggest that male parental care increases nesting success in western bluebirds and that replacement males use an all-or-none rule to determine whether or not to feed chicks: if they are present during the fertile period they feed at typical rates; if they are not, they usually do not feed at all. Because chick-feeding by males is tied to opportunity for paternity, influences success in the current nest, and does not affect the male's future breeding success, it appears to be parental rather than mating effort.

Intake and coversion of food in the fish Limanda limanda exposed to different temperatures

In the flat fish Limanda limanda L., feeding rate and conversion efficiency were studied as functions of body weight, sex, temperature and food quality. When offered herring meat at 13 °C (series I), females (live weights 1 to 150 g) consume more food than males; the magnitude of this difference is body weight-dependent. With increasing wieght, both females and males consume less food per unit body weight per day. Variations in daily ration are considerable; the range of deviation from mean feeding rate is about 60% for males and 40% for females. The range of deviation does not vary significantly among females and males of different body weights. At the same temperature level (13 °C; series II), females consume almost the same, or even less, cod meat than males. Among individuals of series I and II, there is a little difference in the feeding rate; however, herring-fed individuals obtain about 2 times more energy than cod-fed individuals. Each gram wet weight of herring meat yields 2001, each gram cod meat 1137, calories. Small individuals completely cease to feed at 3°C; they feed little at 8 °C. Larger females consume maximum amounts at 8 °C. Small individuals consume maximum amounts at higher temperatures. Thus, with increasing body weight (age), the temperature for maximum feeding shifts downwards. Feeding with cod or herring meat results in considerable changes in composition and calorific content of L. Limanda. The magnitude of these changes depends both on temperature and food quality. Food conversion efficiency values of herring-fed individuals are about 1 1/2 times higher than of cod-fed individuals. In series I and II, females are more efficient converters than males. In individuals weighing more than 50 g, conversion efficiency decreases in the order: 8°, 13°, 18° C; in smaller individuals this order is 13°, 18°, 8 °C. Conversion rate is about 2 to 5 times faster in individuals fed herring meat than those receiving cod meat. Conversion rate decreases in the order 13°, 8°, 18 °C in males, and in the order 18°, 13°, 8 °C in females; females of more than 80 g are exceptional in that they reach the maximum at 8 °C. From the data on food intake and food conversion, the biologically useful energy available for metabolism has been calculated for each test individual kept at 13° and 18 °C. At these temperature levels, the weight exponents are about 0.6; the a value or metabolic level for the 18 °C series is about 2 times higher than that at 13 °C. Thus, temperature affects metabolic rate but not the exponential value. The exponential value for the body weight-metabolism relation at 13 °C is for dab fed herring meat 0.9; the a value amounts to about half that for dab fed cod meat. Food quality, unlike temperature, alters not only the exponential value but also metabolic rate.     

Relative importance of prey size and concentration in determining the feeding behaviour of the herringClupea harengus

The feeding behaviour ofClupea harengus L. in the light is dependent primarily on prey concentration. In the laboratory the fish feed by biting at low prey concentrations and by filtering at high concentrations. With the brine shrimpArtemia sp. as prey, the concentration required for the onset of filter-feeding was directly dependent on prey size, but the concentration at which 50% of feeding fish were filtering differed little between three sizes of brine shrimp (nauplii, and 2 and 4 mm larvae). When fed onCalanus finmarchicus, however, 50% of fish fed by filtering at concentrations at least six times lower than on any size of brine shrimp. Filter-feeding thresholds forC. finmarchicus were six to ten times lower than for any size ofArtemia sp. and, on the basis of biomass, approximately eight times lower than for equivalent sizedArtemia sp.     

Nutritional requirements of the gilthead bream Chrysophrys aurata. Quantitative protein requirements

Six semi-synthetic diets with a casein and corn-starch base, containing 10 to 60% protein were fed for 4 months to young gilthead breams (Chrysophrys aurata, of average initial weight 2.6 g). The object of the study was to determine the optimum amount of protein necessary for growth. The daily intake of the gilthead breams was 5.2 to 2.3% of their live weight. The less protein the diet contained, the more feed the fish consumed. The conversion factor decreased regularly as protein percentage increased. The most favourable conversion rate was 1.4, noted for the group receiving 60% protein. The less protein in the diets, the better the protein efficiency for weight gain and body protein retention. Growth of gilthead breams was proportional to protein content of the diet up to an incorporation rate of 40%. Beyond this, no significant difference in final average individual weight was observed. These results are discussed in relation to those reported for other species of fishes. They show that the gilthead bream requires about 40% protein in its diet, as do most fresh-water species.     

Omnivorous feeding behavior of the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba

Feeding experiments were conducted at Palmer Station from December 1985 to February 1986 to examine the potential role of copepod prey as an alternative food source for Euphausia superba. Copepod concentration, copepod size, phytoplankton concentration, the duration of krill starvation and the volume of experimental vessels were altered to determine effects on ingestion and clearance rates. Krill allowed to feed on phytoplankton and copepods in 50-litre tubs showed greatly increased feeding rates relative to animals feeding in the much smaller volumes of water traditionally used for krill-feeding studies. Clearance rates on copepods remained constant over the range of concentrations offered, but clearance rates on phytoplankton increased linearly with phytoplankton concentration. Feeding rates increased when larger copepods were offered and when krill were starved for two weeks prior to experiments. Clearance rates of krill feeding on copepods were higher than, but not correlated with, their clearance rates on phytoplankton in the same vessel. E. superba may have a distinct mechanism for capturing copepods, perhaps through mechanoreception. Although our observed clearance rate of 1055 ml krill^-1 h^-1 indicates that krill can feed very efficiently on copepod prey, such feeding would meet less than 10% of their minimum metabolic requirements at the typical copepod concentrations reported for Antarctic waters. However, substantial energy could be gained if krill fed on the patches of high copepod concentrations occasionally reported during the austral summer, or if krill and copepods were concentrated beneath the sea ice during the winter or spring months. Our results, indicating efficient feeding on zooplankton and higher clearance rates on phytoplankton than previously believed, represent a step towards balancing the energy budget of E. superba in Antarctic waters.     

Systemically-induced response of cabbage plants against a specialist herbivore, Pieris brassicae

Summary. Plant responses to herbivory might directly affect the herbivore (“direct” defences) or might benefit the plant by promoting the effectiveness of natural antagonists of the herbivores (“indirect” defences). Brussels sprouts attacked by Pieris brassicae larvae release volatiles that attract a natural antagonist of the herbivores, the parasitoid Cotesia glomerata, to the damaged plant. In a previous study, we observed that feeding by caterpillars on the lower leaves of the plant triggers the systemic release of volatiles detectable by the parasitoids from upper leaves of the same plant.?The role of these systemically induced volatiles as indirect defence and the dynamics of their emission were investigated in wind-tunnel dual choice tests with C. glomerata. The systemically induced emission of volatiles varied depending on leaf age and on plant age. Systemic induction affected parasitoid effectiveness, as induced plants could be more easily located by parasitoids than non-induced ones.?The role of the systemic induction as a direct defence was investigated through behavioural and feeding tests with P. brassicae. In dual choice assays, 1st instar larvae preferred to feed and fed more on systemically induced than on non-induced leaves. In single choice assays, the leaf area consumed by caterpillars was larger on systemically induced leaves than on non-induced control leaves. However, caterpillars fed on systemically induced leaves attained the same weight as those feeding on non-induced controls. In addition, P. brassicae pupae whose larvae were fed on systemically induced leaves had longer developmental times than those of larvae fed on non-induced leaves. Adult oviposition behavior was not influenced by systemic induction.?We conclude that systemically induced responses in cabbage might reduce P. brassicae fitness both directly, by affecting their development and feeding behavior and indirectly by making caterpillars and pupae more vulnerable to attack by carnivores. The occurrence of a possible relationship between direct and indirect defence is discussed. Received 24 January 2001; accepted 3 May 2001.     

A risk-balancing trade off between foraging rewards and predation hazard in a shoaling fish

Summary In controlled experiments, shoaling European minnows fed in equal numbers on two equally-rewarded food patches, and likewise on unequal patches the numbers feeding reflected food levels. For equal food, minnows did not feed at the patch where they had encountered a simulated diving avian predator, whereas they chose to feed at this risky patch when it was more valuable. By avoiding hazard for equal food, but accepting predator risk for higher food rewards, the minnows performed a risk-balancing trade-off.     

Microbial activities as a function of water depth in the Ligurian Sea: an autoradiographic study

Fourteen species of sergestid shrimps were collected in the Sargasso Sea between the surface and 1500 m near Bermuda on 4 cruises. The vertical distribution and feeding activity of the most abundant species are discussed in relation to interspecific competition and the adaptive significance of vertical migration. Each species lives within a narrow depth range and exhibits a diel vertical migration. Sergestes splendens migrated as much as 825 m, while S. japonicus migrated less than 100 m. Neither the seasonal nor permanent thermocline influenced the migration range. The only species which occurred together both day and night were S. pectinatus with S. vigilax and S. pectinatus with S. sargassi. Morphological differences in the third maxillipeds of these species suggest differences in feeding. Although most species eat a variety of organisms, the foreguts of S. grandis, S. corniculum, and S. splendens contained euphausiids more often than those of other species, and S. grandis and S. robustus fed more frequently on fishes. In contrast, S. japonicus appears to feed on detritus. Food was found in the foreguts of most species less frequently during the day than night, but no species fed only at night. S. sargassi and S. pectinatus fed equally day and night.
