Effect Of Light

AbstractTwo sequential indoor rearing trials each of 21 days duration were conducted to investigate the effect of light intensity and photoperiod respectively on the growth and survival of Ompok bimaculatus larvae. In first trial, five different light intensities viz. 0, 300, 500, 900, 1200 lx were applied randomly to 800 larvae (0.003 g; 0.51 cm) stocked in triplicate following a completely randomized design into aquarium (30.0 x 15.0 x 15.0 cm) tanks. Sequentially, in second trial, five photoperiod cycles (light: dark, L: D) namely, 24L: 0D, 16L: 8D, 12L: 12D, 8L: 16D and 0L: 24D in combination with the best performing light intensity (300 lx) as observed from the first trial were employed in triplicates in similar set up. From the first trial, significantly higher survival was observed in 0 and 300 lx, whereas growth was highest in 900 lx (P < 0.05). In the second trial, survival was higher in continuous darkness (0L: 24D), whereas, maximum growth was recorded in 24L: 0D and 16L: 8D groups (P < 0.05). Performance index (PI) showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) among 0 and 300 lx light intensities, but were reduced at higher light intensities. The lowest PI was found in 12L: 12D and 8L: 16D condition but did not have any effect in other photoperiod cycles. Overall, from the present study it can be concluded that growth of the larvae is found to be higher in higher light intensity (900lx) and longer photoperiodic cycles (24L: 0D and 16L: 8D), however, better survival was recorded in total dark conditions suggesting that continuous dark condition is recommended for better hatchery performance of the larvae.

Small sea urchins Strongylocentrotus intermedius (1–2 cm of test diameter) are exposed to different environments of light intensities after being reseeded to the sea bottom. With little information available about the behavioral responses of S. intermedius to different light intensities in the environment, we carried out an investigation on how S. intermedius is affected by three light intensity environments in terms of phototaxis, foraging and righting behaviors. They were no light (zero lx), low light intensity (24–209 lx) and high light intensity (252–2,280 lx). Light intensity had obvious different effects on phototaxis. In low light intensity, sea urchins moved more and spent significantly more time at the higher intensity (69–209 lx) (P = 0.046). S. intermedius in high light intensity, in contrast, spent significantly more time at lower intensity (252–690 lx) (P = 0.005). Unexpectedly, no significant difference of movement (average velocity and total distance covered) was found among the three light intensities (P > 0.05). Foraging behavior of S. intermedius was significantly different among the light intensities. In the no light environment, only three of ten S. intermedius found food within 7 min. In low light intensity, nine of 10 sea urchins showed successful foraging behavior to the food placed at 209 lx, which was significantly higher than the ratio of the number (two of 10) when food was placed at 24 lx (P = 0.005). In the high light intensity, in contrast, significantly less sea urchins (three of 10) found food placed at the higher light intensity (2,280 lx) compared with the lower light intensity (252 lx) (10/10, P = 0.003). Furthermore, S. intermedius showed significantly longer righting response time in the high light intensity compared with both no light (P = 0.001) and low light intensity (P = 0.031). No significant difference was found in righting behavior between no light and low light intensity (P = 0.892). The present study indicates that light intensity significantly affects phototaxis, foraging and righting behaviors of S. intermedius and that ~200 lx might be the appropriate light intensity for reseeding small S. intermedius.

Effect Of Light

Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a potentially toxic freshwater cyanobacterium that can tolerate a wide range of light and temperature. Due to climatic changes, the interaction between light and temperature is studied in aquatic systems, but no study has addressed the effect of both variables on the saxitoxins production. This study evaluated the combined effect of light and temperature on saxitoxins production and cellular quota in C. raciborskii. Experiments were performed with three C. raciborskii strains in batch cultures under six light intensities (10, 40, 60, 100, 150, and 500 μmol of photons m−2 s−1) and four temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30 °C). The growth of C. raciborskii strains was limited at lower temperatures and the maximum growth rates were obtained under higher light combined with temperatures equal or above 20 °C, depending on the strain. In general, growth was highest at 30 °C at the lower light intensities and equally high at 25 °C and 30 °C under higher light. Highest saxitoxins concentration and cell-quota occurred at 25 °C under high light intensities, but were much lower at 30 °C. Hence, increased temperatures combined with sufficient light will lead to higher C. raciborskii biomass, but blooms could become less toxic in tropical regions.

Effect Of Light

The effect of light intensity on the course of embryonic development of squid (Heterololigo bleekeri) was examined. Heterololigo bleekeri embryos at an early stage were incubated in the egg cases under six to seven gradients of light intensities which varied from constant darkness to intensive light >1000 lx (12L:12D for all experimental groups except for the constant darkness group). Duration of hatching in every experimental group ranged from seven to 15 days with a peak for ≈30–50% of total number of hatchlings. However, there were no particular relationships between light intensities and duration of embryonic development, duration of hatching, number of hatchlings at hatching peak, and body size of hatchlings. In all groups, body size of hatchlings increased up to seven days post-hatching and thereafter did not change remarkably. Just after hatching, strongly positive photo taxis was observed for H. bleekeri

Effect Of Light

The emergence behaviour of eight species of commercial prawns (between 25.0 and 30.0 mm carapace length) was studied in the laboratory. All except Penaeus merguiensis were nocturnal: they emerged from the substratum in the evening when the light was dimmed and buried themselves in the morning, usually before dawn. P. merguiensis generally remained on the substratum during the day. The species can be grouped on the basis of their behaviour: the first group (P. plebejus and P. latisulcatus) was most sensitive to light, the second group (P. semisulcatus, Metapenaeus ensis, P. esculentus, M. endeavouri and M. bennettae) was less sensitive to light, and the third (P. merguiensis) was least sensitive to light. To find out what triggered emergence, two species (P. esculentus and P. plebejus) were exposed to different rates of light dimming at dusk. Both species responded to absolute light intensity, but the response of P. plebejus was affected by the rate of change of light intensity. The different responses of the species to different light intensities explains some of the differences in catchability in a multi-species prawn fishery.

Effect Of Light

The effect of light intensity on primary bean leaf unfolding and elongation was studied with intact and excised 10-day-old plants grown under red light. Continuous light of 40 μmol; m−2S−1 was enough to induce maximal leaf expansion both on intact and excised bean plants. Lower light intensities had a partial effect. The growth rate during the first 24 h in light was linearly related to light intensity up to 130 μmol; m−2S−1, although this light intensity was already supra-optimal for final leaf size. The minimal amount of light energy needed for full leaf expansion was about 15 mol photons m−2. The mode of light application, level of intensity, and irradiance duration were not critical when the total energy requirement was fulfilled. Under insufficient light applications for full leaf expansion, interrupted irradiance and longer low light intensity application induced leaf elongation more efficiently. Generally, the effect of different white light intensities on primary bean leaf expansion was the same on both intact and excised red-light-grown plants.

Effect Of Light

Two isovitexin glycosides have been found in the cotyledons and foliage leaves of Sitene pratensis plants that are unable to glycosylate isovitexin in their petals (genotype gg glgl fgfg). The glycosides (isovitexin 7-O-galactoside and isovitexin 7-O-galactose 2″-O-arabinoside) were present only in the lower leaves: leaves produced later in the development of the flower stem accumulated only the aglycon isovitexin. The transition in the flavone composition during the ontogeny of the plants could be influenced by light intensity. In plants grown at low light intensity, glycoside production continued until a higher leaf pair number than in plants grown at higher light intensities. However, the effect of light intensity is indirect: the transition in the flavone composition is correlated with the transition from rosette leaves to stem leaves. The presence of the 7-O-galactosides in cotyledons and rosette leaves suggests that in addition to the g, gl and fg loci, there are further glycosylating loci which are not expressed in stem leaves and petals.
