We examined the distribution of melanin during the development of the larvae of Schizothorax o'connori except the eyes with histological method. The results showed that after hatching, the appearance sequence of melanin in different organs were following an order of the outer membrane of neurocranium, the pericardial cavity and the dorsal skin, and the peritoneum and the spinal cord. Specifically, melanin appeared in the outer membrane of neurocranium around 5 DAH (days after hatching), in the pericardial cavity and the back skin at 7 DAH, and in the peritoneum and the spinal cord at 10 DAH. Melanin was found in the skin and internal organs (the outer membrane of neurocranium, the pericardial cavity, the peritoneum, the spinal cord) of S. o'connori at 10 DAH, which was mainly distributed on the back. The appearance and distribution of melanin in the postembryonic development of S. o'connori might be related to the high ultraviolet radiation. Our results could provide reference for further research on the UV protection mechanism of melanin for fish and provide theoretical support for the optimization of rearing conditions for larvae in the plateau.
本文运用组织学方法对异齿裂腹鱼仔鱼发育过程中除眼睛以外的黑色素分布进行研究。结果表明: 异齿裂腹鱼孵化出膜后,黑色素在各个组织器官的出现顺序为: 脑颅外膜→围心腔、背部皮肤→腹腔内膜、脊髓腔。其中,出膜5 d时脑颅外膜处出现黑色素;7 d时围心腔和背部皮肤出现黑色素;10 d时腹腔内膜、脊髓腔出现黑色素。异齿裂腹鱼出膜10 d后,其皮肤和内脏器官(脑颅、围心腔、腹腔内膜、脊髓腔)均具有黑色素,且主要分布在背侧。黑色素在异齿裂腹鱼仔鱼发育过程中的出现时序和分布规律可能与其所处的强紫外辐射环境有关。本研究可为研究鱼类黑色素的紫外防护机制提供参考,并为今后高原鱼类仔鱼的培育条件优化提供理论支撑。.
