Long-term monitoring data logs of a recirculating artificial seawater based colonial ascidian aquaculture.

ABSTRACT: This article presents and describes data related to the monitoring of our in-land in-lab marine recirculating artificial seawater husbandry system for breeding colonial ascidians [1] over a timespan of three years. These datasets were collected both automatically as well as manually, and include abiotic parameters (salinity, pH, temperature, ORP), concentrations of noxious ions (NH₄ ⁺, NO₂ ^-, NO₃ ^-, PO₄ ^3-), the full lineaging of the colonies developing in the aquaculture setup, animal countings under four different feeding diets and animal survival in artificial seawater containing six different microbiota. Our aquaculture was used to breed two species of model colonial ascidians, Botrylloides diegensis[2], [3] and Botryllus schlosseri[4]. All the datasets are provided as raw CSV files together with an analysis script to reproduce the figures of our accompanying research article [1]. These extensive datasets give detailed insights into the impact of culturing conditions on the breeding of colonial ascidians and could be used to investigate this intricate relationship.

Early lineage specification of long-lived germline precursors in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri.

Project description:In many taxa, germline precursors segregate from somatic lineages during embryonic development and are irreversibly committed to gametogenesis. However, in animals that can propagate asexually, germline precursors can originate in adults. Botryllus schlosseri is a colonial ascidian that grows by asexual reproduction, and on a weekly basis regenerates all somatic and germline tissues. Embryonic development in solitary ascidians is the classic example of determinative specification, and we are interested in both the origins and the persistence of stem cells responsible for asexual development in colonial ascidians. In this study, we characterized vasa as a putative marker of germline precursors. We found that maternally deposited vasa mRNA segregates early in development to a posterior lineage of cells, suggesting that germline formation is determinative in colonial ascidians. In adults, vasa expression was observed in the gonads, as well as in a population of mobile cells scattered throughout the open circulatory system, consistent with previous transplantation/reconstitution results. vasa expression was dynamic during asexual development in both fertile and infertile adults, and was also enriched in a population of stem cells. Germline precursors in juveniles could contribute to gamete formation immediately upon transplantation into fertile adults, thus vasa expression is correlated with the potential for gamete formation, which suggests that it is a marker for embryonically specified, long-lived germline progenitors. Transient vasa knockdown did not have obvious effects on germline or somatic development in adult colonies, although it did result in a profound heterochrony, suggesting that vasa might play a homeostatic role in asexual development.

Abnormal Behavior Monitoring Method of <i>Larimichthys crocea</i> in Recirculating Aquaculture System Based on Computer Vision.

Project description:It is crucial to monitor the status of aquaculture objects in recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs). Due to their high density and a high degree of intensification, aquaculture objects in such systems need to be monitored for a long time period to prevent losses caused by various factors. Object detection algorithms are gradually being used in the aquaculture industry, but it is difficult to achieve good results for scenes with high density and complex environments. This paper proposes a monitoring method for Larimichthys crocea in a RAS, which includes the detection and tracking of abnormal behavior. The improved YOLOX-S is used to detect Larimichthys crocea with abnormal behavior in real time. Aiming to solve the problems of stacking, deformation, occlusion, and too-small objects in a fishpond, the object detection algorithm used is improved by modifying the CSP module, adding coordinate attention, and modifying the part of the structure of the neck. After improvement, the AP50 reaches 98.4% and AP50:95 is also 16.2% higher than the original algorithm. In terms of tracking, due to the similarity in the fish's appearance, Bytetrack is used to track the detected objects, avoiding the ID switching caused by re-identification using appearance features. In the actual RAS environment, both MOTA and IDF1 can reach more than 95% under the premise of fully meeting real-time tracking, and the ID of the tracked Larimichthys crocea with abnormal behavior can be maintained stably. Our work can identify and track the abnormal behavior of fish efficiently, and this will provide data support for subsequent automatic treatment, thus avoiding loss expansion and improving the production efficiency of RASs.

High fusibility and chimera prevalence in an invasive colonial ascidian.

Project description:The formation of chimeric entities through colony fusion has been hypothesized to favour colonisation success and resilience in modular organisms. In particular, it can play an important role in promoting the invasiveness of introduced species. We studied prevalence of chimerism and performed fusion experiments in Mediterranean populations of the worldwide invasive colonial ascidian Didemnum vexillum. We analysed single zooids by whole genome amplification and genotyping-by-sequencing and obtained genotypic information for more than 2,000 loci per individual. In the prevalence study, we analysed nine colonies and identified that 44% of them were chimeric, composed of 2-3 different genotypes. In the fusion experiment 15 intra- and 30 intercolony pairs were assayed but one or both fragments regressed and died in ~45% of the pairs. Among those that survived for the length of the experiment (30 d), 100% isogeneic and 31% allogeneic pairs fused. Fusion was unlinked to global genetic relatedness since the genetic distance between fused or non-fused intercolony pairs did not differ significantly. We could not detect any locus directly involved in allorecognition, but we cannot preclude the existence of a histocompatibility mechanism. We conclude that chimerism occurs frequently in D. vexillum and may be an important factor to enhance genetic diversity and promote its successful expansion.

Bioelectrochemical Denitrification for the Treatment of Saltwater Recirculating Aquaculture Streams.

Project description:Maintaining low concentrations of nitrogen compounds (ammonium, nitrate and nitrite) in recirculating aquaculture waters is extremely important for a larger and healthier fish production, as well as for water discharge purposes. Although ammonium removal from aquaculture streams is usually done within a nitrifying step, nitrate removal via denitrification is still partially limited by the low organic matter availability. Therefore, an easy-to-operate autotrophic denitrifying bioelectrochemical system is herein proposed for the treatment of seawater aquaculture streams. The nitrate-containing synthetic stream flows sequentially through a biological denitrifying cathode (placed at the lower portion of a tubular reactor) and an abiotic anode (generating electrons and oxygen from water splitting, at the upper portion). Experimental results with synthetic seawater showed that the system reached denitrification rates of 0.13 ± 0.01 kg N m-3 day-1, operating with minimum ammonium and nitrite accumulation, as well as minimum chlorine formation in the abiotic anode, despite the high chloride concentration. There results support the technical potential for simultaneous bioelectrochemical denitrification and partial re-oxygenation of aquaculture waters either for recirculation or discharge purposes.

Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation Bacteria in a Freshwater Recirculating Pond Aquaculture System.

Project description:Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a key biochemical process to reduce nitrogen pollution in aquaculture, especially in water recirculating pond aquaculture system (RPAS). We used 16S RNA and quantified PCR to study the distribution and environmental impacts of anammox bacteria in RPAS. The results show that the anammox bacterial community distributions and diversities that are apparently unit-specific and seasonal have significant (p < 0.05) difference variation in the RPAS. Most of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria sequences (77.72%) retrieved from the RPAS belong to the Brocadia cluster. The abundance of anammox bacterial in the RPAS ranged from 3.33 × 101 to 41.84 × 101 copies per ng of DNA. The environmental parameter of temperature and nitrogen composition in water could have impacted the anammox bacterial abundance. This study provides more information on our understanding of the anammox bacteria in the RPAS, and provides an important basis for RPAS improvement and regulation.

Muscle differentiation in a colonial ascidian: organisation, gene expression and evolutionary considerations.

Project description:BackgroundAscidians are tunicates, the taxon recently proposed as sister group to the vertebrates. They possess a chordate-like swimming larva, which metamorphoses into a sessile adult. Several ascidian species form colonies of clonal individuals by asexual reproduction. During their life cycle, ascidians present three muscle types: striated in larval tail, striated in the heart, and unstriated in the adult body-wall.ResultsIn the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, we investigated organisation, differentiation and gene expression of muscle beginning from early buds to adults and during zooid regression. We characterised transcripts for troponin T (BsTnT-c), adult muscle-type (BsMA2) and cytoplasmic-type (BsCA1) actins, followed by in situ hybridisation (ISH) on sections to establish the spatio-temporal expression of BsTnT-c and BsMA2 during asexual reproduction and in the larva. Moreover, we characterised actin genomic sequences, which by comparison with other metazoans revealed conserved intron patterns.ConclusionIntegration of data from ISH, phalloidin staining and TEM allowed us to follow the phases of differentiation of the three muscle kinds, which differ in expression pattern of the two transcripts. Moreover, phylogenetic analyses provided evidence for the close relationship between tunicate and vertebrate muscle genes. The characteristics and plasticity of muscles in tunicates are discussed.

Wire Electrodes Embedded in Artificial Conduit for Long-term Monitoring of the Peripheral Nerve Signal.

Project description:Massive efforts to develop neural interfaces have been made for controlling prosthetic limbs according to the will of the patient, with the ultimate goal being long-term implantation. One of the major struggles is that the electrode's performance degrades over time due to scar formation. Herein, we have developed peripheral nerve electrodes with a cone-shaped flexible artificial conduit capable of protecting wire electrodes from scar formation. The wire electrodes, which are composed of biocompatible alloy materials, were embedded in the conduit where the inside was filled with collagen to allow the damaged nerves to regenerate into the conduit and interface with the wire electrodes. After implanting the wire electrodes into the sciatic nerve of a rat, we successfully recorded the peripheral neural signals while providing mechanical stimulation. Remarkably, we observed the external stimuli-induced nerve signals at 19 weeks after implantation. This is possibly due to axon regeneration inside our platform. To verify the tissue response of our electrodes to the sciatic nerve, we performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) and observed axon regeneration without scar tissue forming inside the conduit. Thus, our strategy has proven that our neural interface can play a significant role in the long-term monitoring of the peripheral nerve signal.
