基于附着盘特征量化的眉溪小车轮虫种内研究

INTRASPECIFIC STUDY OF TRICHODINELLA MYAKKAE (MUELLER, 1937) ŠRÁMEK-HUŠEK, 1953 BASED ON THE CHARACTERISTICS QUANTIZATION OF ADHESIVE DISC

  • 摘要: 研究结合形态学与统计学研究方法, 对外寄生于三种不同宿主(鲢、鳙与麦穗鱼)的眉溪小车轮虫Trichodinella myakkae(Mueller, 1937) Šrámek-Hušek, 1953进行了附着盘特征量化的种内比较研究。研究结果显示: 眉溪小车轮虫三种群(鲢种群、鳙种群与麦穗鱼种群)在虫体直径方面的P值为0.136(P>0.05), 在附着盘直径、齿环直径和齿体纵长三方面的P值分别为0.009、0.000与0.000(P<0.01); 三种群在齿环直径/虫体直径方面的P值为0.000与0.004(P<0.01)。相关性研究结果显示: 虫体直径、附着盘直径、齿环直径与齿体纵长两两间均呈显著正相关(P<0.01), 缘膜宽与附着盘中其他结构不存在显著相关性(P>0.05)。上述研究结果表明, 除虫体直径外, 三种群在附着盘直径、齿环直径、齿体纵长, 以及齿环直径/虫体直径方面均存在显著差异, 其中鲢种群是最大的种群; 相关性研究表明, 虫体直径主要受附着盘直径的影响, 反之亦然; 齿环直径主要受齿体纵长的影响, 反之亦然; 齿体数主要受附着盘大小所影响; 缘膜宽则不受附着盘相关结构的影响。综上, 在车轮虫分类学中可结合上述显著差异性的附着盘结构对车轮虫进行种类鉴定。

     

    Abstract: Trichodinids (Mobilida: Trichodinidae), best known as ectoparasites of fishes and mollusks in the aquaculture, are diverse and widely distributed mobilid ciliates. So far, approximately 400 species representing 10 genera have been described around the world. Among them, Trichodinella species is almost one of the smallest groups in the family Trichodinidae. Trichodinella myakkae (Mueller, 1937) Šrámek-Hušek, 1953, regarded as the representative of Trichodinella species, was often found to infect different freshwater fishes and sometimes caused economic losses when those fish fingerlings or fries were heavily infested in the aquaculture. Currently, most studies about trichodinds were focused on the species description and identification, geographic distribution, histopathology, biodiversity, and molecular phylogeny. However, the morphology study has become the solid foundation to hold up the above related studies on trichodinids. In terms of morphological taxonomy, the adhesive disc is regarded as the most important structure for trichodinids. Therefore, based on the characteristics quantization of adhesive disc, intraspecific study of Trichodinella myakkae isolated from three different hosts (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Aristichthys nobilis and Pseudorasbora parva) were firstly carried out by using morphological and statistical ways in the present work. The results showed that three populations of Trichodinella myakkae (from Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Aristichthys nobilis and Pseudorasbora parva,), the P values were 0.136 (P>0.05) for diameter of body diameter, 0.009 (P<0.01) for diameter of adhesive disc, 0 (P<0.01) for diameter of denticular ring and 0 (P<0.01) for denticle span, respectively. Meanwhile, the P value of ratio of denticular ring to body diameter was 0 (P<0.01). In addition, the result of correlation analysis displayed that the significant positive correlation (P<0.01) existed between the diameter of body and adhesive disc, denticular ring diameter and denticle span, and no significant correlation (P>0.05) existed between width of border membrane and the other structures in the adhesive disc. All the above results indicated that significant differences existed in diameters of adhesive disc and denticular ring, denticle span, and the ratio of diameter of denticular ring to body diameter except the body diameter for the three populations, ameng which the population of Hypophthalmichthys molitrix was the largest population. The correlation analysis indicated that body diameter was primarily affected by adhesive disc, and vice versa. The diameter of denticular ring was primarily affected by denticle span, and vice versa. The denticle number was primarily affected by the diameter of adhesive disc. The width of border membrane wasn’t affected by the related structures in the adhesive disc. In conclusion, it was indicated that the significantly differential adhesive disc structures above could be used for the species identification in the taxonomy of trichodinds based on the present research results.
