| 1 | Migration and population structure characteristics of the small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis in the southern Yellow Sea显示文摘Monthly fishery survey data of the small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis in the southern Yellow Sea from2003 and 2013 were employed to evaluate the variation in the resource distribution and biological characteristics(especially body length and sex ratio) in the population on a decadal scale.The results indicated that the small yellow croaker migrated from the Shawai fishing ground to the Dasha fishing ground in spring and was mainly distributed in the central and western parts of the Dasha fishing ground in April and May.Larimichthys polyactis in the Dasha fishing ground migrated eastward to offshore wintering grounds in autumn and reached the central Dasha fishing ground in October and November.The small yellow croaker entered the western waters of the Shawai fishing ground in winter.A large number of age 0+ fish occurred in the Shawai and Jiangwai fishing grounds in October of 2003 and 2013.The body lengths of the spawning stock and wintering stock in 2013 were larger than those in 2003,and the monthly sex ratios(female to male) were significantly less than 1 in both years.The monthly distribution of this fish in the southern Yellow Sea was consistent with a previous finding that 'the stock migrated between the wintering grounds in the west of Jeju Island and the Lüsi spawning grounds' but tended to move more northward,with the spawning grounds extending outward.In the past decade,body length variation experienced a decline after an increase,rather than a steady decrease.The sex ratio in the single-stick stow net showed a tendency to increase over the decade,but was either less than or more than 1 depending on the fishing gear;therefore,further studies should be conducted to determine the sex structure. | XIONG Ying ZHONG Xiaming TANG Jianhua YANG Jian | 2016 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2016,35,6: | 8 |
| 2 | Early life migration and population discrimination of the small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis from the Yellow Sea: inferences from otolith Sr/Ca ratios显示文摘The small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis is a benthic marine fish species of high ecological and commercial importance and is widely distributed in the northwestern Pacifi c Ocean,especially in the Chinese coastal waters of the Bohai,Yellow,and East China Seas.As a highly migratory species,the whole life migration of L.polyactis has been intensively studied.However,knowledge about its early life migration is scarce,and population divisions are inconsistent,limiting the ability of fishery scientists and administrators to evaluate the design and potential benefits of thorough conservation and resource-management strategies.In the present study,otolith Sr/Ca was analyzed to investigate the early migratory patterns and discriminate the populations of L.polyactis in the Yellow Sea,including two spawning groups and one overwintering group.The variation in Sr/Ca ratios of ontogenetic growth zones,including the nucleus(N),larval(L),metamorphosis(M),juvenile(J),and edge(E)zones,was measured by electron probe microanalysis.The variation in Sr/Ca ratios in early developmental growth zones was generally characterized by an evident downward trend from the N to J zone,which suggests that the early migratory pattern of L.polyactis might be from inshore to nearshore water.Canonical discriminant analysis,based on the otolith Sr/Ca ratios of the N,L,M,and J zones,allowed the successful discrimination of the two populations,namely,the northern and southern Yellow Sea groups,whose diff erences were mainly reflected in the L and J zones.Compared with previous studies,the traditional geographic boundaries(34°N)separating these two populations might be moving northward.The application of otolith Sr/Ca ratios based on ontogenetic stage could improve our understanding of the migration and population discrimination of L.polyactis from the Yellow Sea. | Dade SONG Ying XIONG Tao JIANG Jian YANG Xiaming ZHONG Jianhua TANG | 2022 | Journal of Oceanology and Limnology2022,40,2: | 1 |
| 3 | Comparative Antiviral Efficacy of Viral Protease Inhibitors against the Novel SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro显示文摘The recent outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19)caused by a new coronavirus has posed a great threat to public health.Identifying safe and effective antivirals is of urgent demand to cure the huge number of patients.Virusencoded proteases are considered potential drug targets.The human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors(lopinavir/ritonavir)has been recommended in the global Solidarity Trial in March launched by World Health Organization.However,there is currently no experimental evidence to support or against its clinical use.We evaluated the antiviral efficacy of lopinavir/ritonavir along with other two viral protease inhibitors in vitro,and discussed the possible inhibitory mechanism in silico.The in vitro to in vivo extrapolation was carried out to assess whether lopinavir/ritonavir could be effective in clinical.Among the four tested compounds,lopinavir showed the best inhibitory effect against the novel coronavirus infection.However,further in vitro to in vivo extrapolation of pharmacokinetics suggested that lopinavir/ritonavir could not reach effective concentration under standard dosing regimen[marketed as Kaletraò,contained lopinavir/ritonavir(200 mg/50 mg)tablets,recommended dosage is 400 mg/10 mg(2 tablets)twice daily].This research concluded that lopinavir/ritonavir should be stopped for clinical use due to the huge gap between in vitro IC50 and free plasma concentration.Nevertheless,the structure–activity relationship analysis of the four inhibitors provided further information for de novel design of future viral protease inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2. | Leike Zhang Jia Liu Ruiyuan Cao Mingyue Xu Yan Wu Weijuan Shang Xi Wang Huanyu Zhang Xiaming Jiang Yuan Sun Hengrui Hu Yufeng Li Gang Zou Min Zhang Lei Zhao Wei Li Xiaojia Guo Xiaomei Zhuang Xing-Lou Yang Zheng-Li Shi Fei Deng Zhihong Hu Gengfu Xiao Manli Wang Wu Zhong | 2020 | Virologica Sinica2020,35,6: | 0 |
