摘要

Abstract

Artificial lighting regimes have been successfully used to inhibit sexual maturity of Atlantic salmon in confinement. However

when these operations are applied in commercial recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) using standard lighting technology

sexual maturation is not suppressed. In this study

an L9 (33) orthogonal design was used to determine the effects of three factors (spectral composition

photoperiod

and light intensity) on the gonadal development of Atlantic salmon in RAS. We demonstrated that the photoperiod at the tested levels had a much greater effect on the gonadosomatic index and female Fulton condition factor than spectral composition and light intensity. The photoperiod had a significant effect on the secretion of sex steroids and melatonin (P<0.05)

and a short photoperiod delayed sex steroid and melatonin level increases. The three test factors had no significant effects on the survival rate

specific growth rate

relative weight gain

and male Fulton condition factor (P>0.05). The optimum lighting levels in female and male Atlantic salmon were LD 8:16

455 nm (or 625 nm)

8.60 W/m2; and LD 8:16

8.60 W/m2

455 nm respectively. These conditions not only delayed gonadal development

but also had no negative effects on Atlantic salmon growth in RAS. These results demonstrate that a combination of spectral composition

photoperiod and light intensity is effective at delaying the gonadal development of both male and female salmon in RAS.
