Description

METHOD FOR DETERMINING AGE OF SEPIA WITH SEPIA BONE TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of aquatic sciences, and to a method for observing growth patterns on Sepia bones, and specifically, a method for determining an age of Sepia with a Sepia bone.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
[0002] Sepia, an offshore species, is mainly distributed in the offshore areas of various countries, including China. This species has an annual output accounting for about 50% that of all offshore cephalopods, which has become one of the important fishing species in China's inshore fishery. As an important economic cephalopod at present, Sepia has attracted more attention from researchers regarding to basic biological and ecological research on the age, growth, migration, food intake, and the like thereof.
[0003] Age and growth are not only important research contents in cephalopod fishery biology and ecology, but also a basis for resource conservation and management of cephalopods. Cephalopods have the characteristics of short life span, fast growth, long spawning phase, complex population structure, etc., which makes an age estimation result of cephalopods not accurate enough by a traditional body-length frequency method. One of the most effective methods is to use growth patterns on hard tissues to estimate ages of cephalopods.
[0004] Otoliths, beaks, etc. are considered to be reliable materials for determining an age of Sepia. In past studies, researchers had tried to use a growth pattern on a cuticle on the surface of a Sepia bone to determine an age of Sepia. However, as an early growth pattern is difficult to interpret, the cuticle cannot be used for age determination.
SUMMARY OF PRESENT INVENTION
[0005] The present disclosure is intended to provide a method for determining an age of Sepia with a Sepia bone, mainly including the following steps: drying, marking with lines, cutting, grinding, polishing, marking with points, fixing, and counting growth patterns. A longitudinal section of the Sepia bone is ground and polished. A prepared Sepia bone is photographed with a stereoscopic microscope to ensure that the growth patterns can be read at any time in the future. The growth patterns are counted from bottom to top of the Sepia bone.
[0006] In order to achieve the above objective, the present disclosure provides a method for determining an age of Sepia with a Sepia bone, including the following steps:
[0007] (1) drying: taking out a Sepia bone and using a hot air gun to blow dry a surface of the Sepia bone;
[0008] (2) marking with lines: marking a center line on the Sepia bone and a parallel line 1 cm on the right of the center line;
[0009] (3) cutting: cutting the Sepia bone longitudinally along the marked line on the right side;
[0010] (4) grinding: grinding an obtained longitudinal section of the Sepia bone with a grinder, where, coarse grinding is conducted first and fine grinding is then conducted until the section is in alignment with the center line;
[0011] (5) polishing: polishing a ground longitudinal section of the Sepia bone to remove oil and impurities;
[0012] (6) marking with points: marking the surface of the Sepia bone from bottom to top;
[0013] (7) fixing: putting the polished Sepia bone into a rectangular mold with white super light clay for fixing; and
[0014] (8) observation of growth patterns: counting growth patterns from bottom to top of the Sepia bone until all growth patterns are counted.
[0015] Further, before the drying in step (1), the Sepia bone may be pre-treated by the following steps:
[0016] A. collection: using a scalpel and scissors to carefully taking out an internal shell in Sepia, where, a Sepia bone is prevented from being broken and fractured;
[0017] B. soaking: soaking an obtained Sepia bone in alcohol to remove mucus and impurities on a surface of the Sepia bone;
[0018] C. cleaning: using a brush and water to clean the surface of the Sepia bone; and
[0019] D. storage: storing a cleaned Sepia bone in a refrigerator at -20°C.
[0020] Further, the counting growth patterns in step (8) includes:
[0021] I. photographing: photographing the growth patterns with a CCD under 1x objective lens of a stereoscopic microscope, where, marks spaced by 2 cm on the
Sepia bone are photographed;
[0022] II. image stitching: using image processing software to stitch all images acquired for the Sepia bone together, where, two adjacent images are stitched together according to repeated marks on the two images to ensure accuracy of stitching; and
[0023] III. counting: using image processing software on a computer to open a stitched image, and counting according to the image.
[0024] Further, in the soaking step, the soaking may be conducted for 60 min with a % alcohol solution.
[0025] Further, in the washing step, the washing may be conducted until a resulting liquid after washing is no longer turbid.
[0026] Further, the marking with points in step (6) may refer to giving a point mark every 2 cm.
[0027] Further, the Sepia maybe Sepia esculenta from West Africa.
[0028] Definitions:
[0029] "Sepia" is a general term of mollusca, cephalopods, and other species of the order Sepiida, which is one of the important fishing species in China and an important marine economic species, and plays an important role in the ecosystem. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to specific species of Sepia, for example, Sepia esculenta from West Africa.
[0030] "Growth pattern" refers to fine wavy horizontal patterns, which can increase with the growth.
[0031] "Image processing software" is a general term for various application software used to process image information. Professional image processing software includes Adobe's photoshop. Those skilled in the art can select appropriate image processing software according to actual conditions, and the appropriate image processing software is also included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. The image processing software of the present disclosure is not limited to photoshop.
[0032] The present disclosure has the following advantages:
[0033] 1. The method for determining an age of Sepia with a Sepia bone provided in the present disclosure can achieve easy collection of an internal shell, convenient grinding, and stable information storage. Moreover, the method for determining an age of Sepia with a Sepia bone is direct, reliable, and accurate.
[0034] 2. The present disclosure selects a longitudinal section of a Sepia bone, which improves the readability of growth patterns and the accuracy of counting.
[0035] 3. In the method of the present disclosure, a photographing system is adopted for counting growth patterns, which greatly improves the convenience of counting growth patterns; and a prepared section is photographed with a stereoscopic microscope to ensure that the growth patterns can be read at any time in the future.
[0036] 4. The present disclosure solves the problem that growth patterns on a Sepia bone are difficult to observe and count (a large number of growth patterns at an initial stage of growth are under a cuticle), and provides a method that can quickly and accurately grind a section to the optimal plane while ensuring a high success rate of Sepia bone grinding, and can also accurately determine the number of growth patterns.

[0051] (7) cutting: the Sepia bone was cut longitudinally along the marked line on the right side;
[0052] (8) grinding: an obtained longitudinal section of the Sepia bone was ground with a grinder, where, during a grinding process, the section was ground successively with 240, 600, 1,200, 2,500 silicon carbide paper until the section was in alignment with the center line;
[0053] (9) polishing: a ground surface was polished with a flannel added with a 0.05 m alumina agent and water to remove surface scratches and excess impurities caused by the silicon carbide paper, thus completing the grinding on the longitudinal section of the Sepia bone;
