Abstract

In the present study, we examined the potential uses of Alizarin complexone and Alizarin red S to mark S. grahami larvae and juveniles. Individuals of different ages (6 days, 20 days, 90 days) were immersed in four concentrations of a solution of each chemical (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/L) for different periods of time (4-36 h). Marked individuals were euthanized 4-27 days after immersion, and the lapillus was removed and used to determine mark quality. After marking with 50-150 mg/L ALC and ARS, violet marks were visible under normal light, and scarlet fluorescent marks were visible under 510-560 nm green light. The clear marks under normal light were recorded, and a 100% survival rate was guaranteed under the following conditions: 6 day old larvae immersed in 50 mg/L ALC or ARS for 8h; 20 day old larvae immersed in 50 mg/L ALC or 100 mg/L ARS for 24h; 90 day old juveniles immersed in 100mg/L ALC or 150 mg/L ARS for 24 h.

该文使用不同浓度梯度(50~200 mg/L)和浸泡时间(4~24 h)的茜素络合物(ALC)及茜素红(ARS)水溶液对6、20及90日龄滇池金线鲃(Sinocyclocheilus grahami)仔稚鱼进行标志。两种标志物均能在其耳石上形成深红色标记环带,510~560 nm绿色激发光下,标志带呈猩红色荧光反应。50 mg/L ALC或ARS溶液浸泡6日龄仔鱼8 h、50 mg/L ALC溶液或100 mg/L ARS溶液浸泡20日龄仔鱼24 h及100 mg/L ALC或150 mg/L ARS溶液浸泡90日龄稚鱼24 h,可见光下即可见清晰深红色标记带。50 mg/L ARS或ALC溶液浸泡6日龄仔鱼4 h或浸泡20、90日龄仔鱼24 h,绿色激光下即绿色可见猩红色标记带。且以上浸泡条件均可保证100%标记率和存活率。
