Abundance and removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the rearing environments of intensive shrimp aquaculture in South China

Although research regarding antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquaculture environments has gained increasing scientific interest, further studies are required to understand the abundances and removal mechanisms of ARGs during the entire rearing period of shrimp aquaculture. Thus, in this study, abundances, distributions and removal rates of ARGs in different environmental compartments of intensive shrimp farms in South China were investigated during the entire rearing period. The results indicated that sul1 and cmlA were the predominant ARGs in the water and sediment samples. Additionally, the total abundance of ARGs was higher in shrimp pond water than in the source water and farm effluent. Moreover, sediment samples indicated significantly higher ARG abundances than water samples from the shrimp ponds (P?<?0.05). Environmental factors were found to significantly affect the distribution of ARGs in shrimp rearing environments. Furthermore, stable ponds aided the removal of ARGs from shrimp pond water. This study accounted for temporal variations in ARG abundances as well as removal of ARGs in different environmental compartments during the entire shrimp rearing period. However, additional research is required to optimize the water treatment process for removal of ARGs from the aquaculture.     

海水鱼类网箱养殖的环境效应及多营养层次的综合养殖

海水鱼类网箱养殖是世界主要渔业国家(如挪威、日本等)广泛开展的一种高密度、集约化的养鱼方式,这种养殖方式在给广大从业者带来巨大经济、社会效益的同时,对环境也造成了不可忽视的负面影响。开展多营养层次的综合养殖(IMTA)是缓解这一环境压力的有效途径,鱼类养殖过程中释放出的二氧化碳、氮、磷等物质,由无机提取单元(大型藻类)来吸收,粪便和残饵等微小颗粒则成为有机提取单元(滤食性贝类)的饵料,较大的颗粒物质沉到海底后,可以为腐食性单元(海参等)提供食物,通过这种养殖模式,最大限度地实现系统内营养物质的高效利用,在减轻养殖对环境压力的同时,使系统具有较高的容纳量和食物产出能力。     

围网养殖对洪湖水质的影响分析

文章从围网养殖对洪湖水质影响的角度出发,依据1990～2006年在洪湖实测的水质数据分析了洪湖水质的时空变化过程及趋势,并发现水质指标中总氮的超标量变化明显。利用环境污染综合指数法,通过围网内和围网外以及围网前和围网后不同水文期的水质情况对比,对洪湖水质变化进行综合评价。结果表明围网内的环境污染综合指数在枯水期要远大于围网外的,围网养殖对湖泊的局部污染严重;围网前水质基本可以达到Ⅱ类水质标准,开始围网后洪湖水质逐步恶化,且围网养殖面积与水质恶化的程度有着相同的变化趋势,总氮的含量变化尤为明显,随着围网养殖规模面积的扩大急速增加。     

长海海域浮筏养殖虾夷扇贝生物沉积速率的现场研究

为评价浅海高密度、规模化浮筏养殖贝类的生物沉积作用及其环境生态效应,本文运用生物沉积物捕集器对长海海域浮筏养殖虾夷扇贝的生物沉积速率进行了四个季度的现场测定。结果表明,同一养殖区不同排筏虾夷扇贝的生物沉积速率有很大不同,呈现出由低排筏到高排筏逐渐降低的趋势;不同季节虾夷扇贝生物沉积速率变化明显,秋季最高,冬季最低。海水中悬浮颗粒物浓度及水温是影响扇贝生物沉积速率的主要因素。     

芽孢杆菌与硝化细菌净化水产养殖废水的试验研究

以枯草芽孢杆菌、地衣芽孢杆菌和硝化细菌为实验菌种,对水产养殖废水中的各项水质因子(pH、DO、NH4+-N、NO2--N、COD)进行控制或处理。结果表明,经投加微生物菌液处理的养殖废水水质均优于对照组:枯草芽孢杆菌和地衣芽孢杆菌可以降低废水的COD和NO2--N浓度,出水COD浓度小于100mg/L,NO2--N浓度小于0.6mg/L,COD去除率分别为67.97%、70.16%,NO2--N去除率分别为99.28%、99.51%;硝化细菌可以将废水NH4+-N和NO2--N的浓度降低到0.6mg/L以下,去除率分别为99.38%、81.44%;而菌液的投加对养殖水体的pH值影响不明显。三种微生物在净化水产养殖废水的作用上各有特点,可为形成共生长效的养殖水产环境修复微生物种群提供基础。     

潜流人工湿地系统停留时间分布与N、P浓度空间变化

通过人工湿地小试装置,研究了风车草和香蒲水平潜流人工湿地处理富营养化养殖水体过程中水力停留时间分布（RTD）特征和系统内N、P浓度空间变化规律.结果表明,供试的香蒲潜流湿地和风车草潜流湿地系统RTD曲线特征值σ²分别为0.324 6和0.410 8,表明水流流态介于推流与混合流之间,风车草潜流湿地系统RTD曲线较香蒲潜流湿地平滑,水流混合流动程度较弱. 2种植物类型湿地床体总氮（TN）和氨氮（NH⁺₄-N）浓度在垂直方向上的分层现象明显,尤其在湿地床体前端;TN浓度随着取样点深度增加而上升,而NH⁺₄-N浓度则以中层取样点为最低;对于总磷（TP）和正磷酸盐（PO^3-₄-P）浓度, 2种植物类型湿地系统内均表现为随取样点深度增加而上升,但这种差异随沿程而降低. 与香蒲湿地相比较,风车草潜流湿地系统N、P浓度分层现象更为明显.风车草湿地系统后端各层取样点TN和TP平均浓度较香蒲湿地系统分别下降了19.8%和12.3%,说明风车草潜流湿地系统对富营养化养殖水体中氮、磷的去除效果优于香蒲湿地.

抗生素抗性基因(ARGs)——一种新型环境污染物

抗生素的环境污染与生态毒性近年来引起了日益广泛的关注.水产养殖和畜牧业抗生素长期滥用的直接后果,很可能诱导动物体内抗生素抗性基因,经排泄后将对养殖区域及其周边环境造成潜在基因污染.抗性基因还极有可能在环境中传播、扩散.对公共健康和食品、饮用水安全构成威胁.为此,提出了将抗生素抗性基因作为一类新型环境污染物,对该类污染物在环境中的来源、潜在的传播途径以及国内外相关研究进展进行综述,指出了当前形势下我国开展环境中抗生素抗性基因污染研究的必要性,建议尽快从国家层面上系统进行抗生素抗性基因的环境污染机理与控制对策研究.     

Bioconcentration and half-life of quinalphos pesticide in rice-fish integration system in the Mekong Delta,Vietnam

In order to determine the distribution and enable the elimination of quinalphos, a popular active pesticide compound used in the Mekong Delta, an experiment was set up in a rice-fish integration system in Can Tho City, Vietnam. Fish was stocked into the field when the rice was two-months old. Quinalphos was applied twice in doses of 42.5 g per 1000 m². Water, fish and sediment samples were collected at time intervals and analyzed by a Gas Chromatography Electron Capture Detector system. The results show that quinalphos residues in fish muscles were much higher than those of the water and the bioconcentration factor (logBCF) was above 2 for the fish. The half-life of first and second quinalphos applications were 12.2 and 11.1 days for sediment, 2.5 and 1.1 days for silver barb, 1.9 and 1.3 days for common carp, and 1.1 and 1.0 days for water, respectively.
