通过雄激素“浸泡法”诱导尼罗罗非鱼Oreochromis niloticus仔鱼雄性化的研究,探索一种雄激素浸泡诱导尼罗罗非鱼仔鱼雄性化的技术方法。选用了可芳化的MT(17α-methyhesosterone)和不可芳化的MDHT(17α-methyldihydrotestosterone)两种雄激素进行对比试验。进行了处理时期(1,7,13DPH,Days Post Hactch-ing),激素剂量(200,600,1800,5400μg·L^-1),持续时间(2,4,8h)3个因素的简单比较法正交试验。结果如下:当诱导7DPH仔鱼、持续时间为4h时,MT剂量为600μg·L^-1时雄性率最高,为98.81%,而剂量1800,5400μg·L^-1时雄性率明显下降(P〈0.05);MDHT剂量为600,1800μg·L^-1时,雄性率最高,分别为98.34%和98.39%,剂量为200,5400μg·L^-1时雄性率没有明显下降(P〉0.05)。当用MT诱导7DPH仔鱼,剂量为600μg·L^-1时,持续时间为4h的雄性率最高、而8h的雄性率明显下降(P〈0.05);当用MDHT时,3种持续时间(2,4,8h)的雄性率无明显差异(P〉0.05)。总体来看,应用MT和MDHT的雄性率都能达到生产应用需求,但MDHT效果更稳定、表现出更好的应用潜力。
In this paper, we concentrated on masculinization of larvae Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis nilotic- us) by immersion the larvae in androgens MT (17α-methyhestosterone) or MDHT (17α-methyl- dihydrotestosterone). The three factors were considered: treatment period (1, 7, 13 DPH, Days Post Hatching), hormone dose (200, 600, 1 800, 5 400 μg·L^-1), and treatment duration (2, 4, 8 h). All these three factors were taken into account by simple comparison orthogonal experimental design. The main results are as follows : the 7 DPH larvae induced by MT at a dose of 600 μg·L^-1 with 4 h treatm duration is the best result of masculinization, male rate is 98.81% , while at a dose of 1 800 μg·L^-1 5400 μg·L^-1, male rate greatly decreased (P〈0.05); 600 μg·L^-1 or 1 800 μg·L^-1 dose of MDHT present the best results of masculinization, male rate is 98.34% and 98.39% respectively, at a dose of 200 μg·L^-1 or 5 400 μg·L^-1 male rate are not significantly decreased ( P 〉 0. 05 ) . When 7 DPH larvae were induced by MT at a dose of 600 μg·L^-1, 4 h is the best treatment duration, 8 h pres- ents greatly decreased result (P 〈 0.05) ; When MDHT was used, three treatment durations (2, 4, 8 h) got consistent results (P 〉 0. 05 ). The conclusion is that MT and MDHT can both achieve masculin- ization goals for application of production, but MDHT is more stable and show a better application value.
