一.餌料生物保種及應用技術研究-附著矽藻在九孔種苗生產之應用This study has established the isolation and culture collection of suitable diatoms and theculture technique for those diatoms. This year's project aims for the effects on thediatom diets on the growth and survival of post-larval abalone Haliotis diversicolor inorder to establish application the culture diatoms for larval rearing of this abalone.二.九孔之SPF餌藻開發研究The abalone production in Taiwan has dropped down in recent years because of theserious bacterial infection, especially the Vibrio alginolyticus. The V. alginolyticus canbe easily brought to the abalone culture ponds by feeding seaweeds (Gracilariatenuistipitata). For preventing pathogenic Vibrio infection, this study aims to test thedisinfection effects on G. tenuistipitata by disinfectants or probiotic. Disinfectantsincluding sterilized seawater, fresh water, sodium hypochlorite or ozone are used to washthe seaweed. The growth of G. tenuistipitata and total bacteria and Vibrio counts aftervarious treatments are used to evaluate the suitable procedure for disinfection. Inaddition, the total bacteria and Vibrio counts within the abalone guts and in its culturewater after feeding the treated G. tenuistipitata are used to evaluate.三.優質九孔種貝之培育1.To understand the differences in the abundance and diversity of intestinal bacteria indifferent seasons betweentraditional and interior circulating system.2.Establish the method to increase the resistance to disease and immunity.3.Establish the feeding model for brood abalone.4. To execute artificial reproductions of abalone above 10 times a year and tosupplyzygote and larvae for research purpose requirement.5.A total of 60000 abalones were produced.四.優質九孔種貝量產之研發與養殖技術之改進Culture of small abalones, Haliotis diversicolor has expanded quickly due todevelopment of successfully propagation and larviculture. However, in recent years,farmers have experienced mass mortality of abalone reared in the grow-out ponds. Theabalone larvae often can't success to settle in the nursery stage. The bacteria, Vibriospp., have been documented to caused vibriosis leading to death of abalone in warmerwater temperature.Abalone does not possess immunoglobulins. The major roles of defense systems inabalones are hemocytes and humoral systems (lysosomal enzymes, lectin, etc.). When theabalone is challenged with the virus and bacteria, the immune systems will response toface the infection. Herein, we try to find some immunostimulants, which can increasethe defense activity of abalone. We also investigate the effects of immunostimulants onthe immuno responses of stock abalone. Through the maternal effect, we could obtainbetter healthy larval abalone.
