The genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) is cultured widely for production of freshwater fish in China, while streptococcosis, likely related to pathogenic infections, occurs frequently in juvenile, mother, and operated GIFT. The gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient digestibility in animals, and resveratrol (RES) has been used in feed for different freshwater fish species. Therefore, understanding changes in the tilapia gut microbiota across different concentrations of dietary RES supplementation is extremely important. The gut microbiota population in tilapia at 45 d after supplementation with different concentrations (0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 g/kg) of dietary RES was assessed by 16S rDNA gene sequencing. A total of 5445 operational taxonomic units were identified from all samples, and 14 phyla and 81 families were identified from all fecal samples. The bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes were significantly enriched in the 0.025 g/kg RES group when compared with the controls. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Cyanobacteria were the most dominant three phyla in all samples. With the increasing concentrations, the proportion of beneficial microbial taxa (Acetobacteraceae and Methylobacteriaceae) increased, whereas the proportion of harmful microbial taxa decreased, eg. Streptococcaceae except for 0.1 g/kg RES groups. RES did not affect the richness and diversity in tilapia gut microbiota. These findings provide information on the diversity and differences in GIFT gut microbiota database, and may contribute to developing strategies for management of diseases and long-term sustainability of O. niloticus culture.

Network reconfiguration and demand response can both reduce the loss and improve the security of the distribution networks (DNs). In this paper, we describe a day-ahead DN reconfiguration schedule model considering demand response, in which network reconfiguration is conducted by distribution system operator (DSO) while the demand response strategies are realized by customer aggregators. To preserve information privacy and reduce computational burden, a two-level decomposition & coordination algorithm is proposed to solve this model, which is based on a log-barrier cost function. In the upper level, the DSO optimizes the network reconfiguration schedule, calculates the barrier cost of every load bus and then sends it to the corresponding customer aggregator. In the lower level, every customer aggregator exploits available controllable demands like heat pump (HP), electric vehicle (EV) to minimize the nodal daily cost based on the barrier cost calculated in DSO. Numerical tests verify the promising convergence of this decomposition algorithm and show a reduction of the total cost in DN.

Mass mortality in cultured common carp from a farm of Ganyu county, Jiangsu province, P. R. China was reported. The two dominated isolates named L1 and L2 from diseased common carps were confirmed as non-O1 Vibrio cholerae by biochemical characteristics and molecular tools. Virulence genes (ompW, hlyA, acfA, toxR, ace and rtxC genes) were found to be present in the isolates by PCR, which further confirmed pathogenicity of the isolates. The LD50 value of the isolate L1 to the common carp was 1.1 x 10(6) CFU/mL. In addition, the specific egg yolk powder (IgY) conferred significant protection of common carp against non-O1 V. cholerae. The specific IgY also exhibited significant bacteriolytic effects on the non-O1 V. cholerae pathogen. The results showed that the specific IgY should be an effective implemented feed additive for the biocontrol of non-O1 V. cholerae infection in aquaculture.

As part of ongoing environmental investigations of U mining impacts, forty-two sediment samples of a nearly-half-meter-long sediment core retrieved from a natural reservoir near an active uranium (U) mining site, South China were analyzed to quantify the extent of U release and identify U release mechanism within the riverine catchment. Enrichment levels of U was dispersed not only in the surface sediments but also in deep sediments across the depth profile. Further analysis by SEM-EDS and XRD indicated that U partitioning in the depth profile was possibly controlled by complicated interplay of leaching and precipitation cycles of U-bearing minerals. Even with the relative complexity of U dispersal processes within the catchment, the Pb isotopic fingerprinting techniques allowed quantification of source inputs of the sediments by using a binary mixing model. The results revealed that along the depth profile, only 6%-50% of the sediment material is anthropogenically derived from the U ore tailing, with the other predominant proportions originated from geogenically natural weathering of granitic bedrocks. This study highlights the use of Pb isotopes as a powerful tool for quantitatively fingerprinting the sources of U dispersal in the sediment core, and natural-occurring U contamination that may become a hidden geoenvironmental health hazard in this area.
