Welkom op het expertplatform!

Dit platform verschaft informatie en kennis omtrent de WL expertisedomeinen 'hydraulica en sediment', 'havens en waterwegen', 'waterbouwkundige constructies', 'waterbeheer' en 'kustbescherming' - gaande van WL medewerkers met hun expertise, het curriculum van deze instelling, tot publicaties, projecten, data (op termijn) en evenementen waarin het WL betrokken is.

Het WL onderschrijft het belang van "open access" voor de ontsluiting van haar onderzoeksresultaten. Lees er meer over in ons openaccessbeleid.

Abstract

Variations in the concentrations of ascorbic acid (AA) and tocopherols in association with the gonadal development of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii were investigated in females captured in the Mae Klong River, Thailand. Mean ovarian AA levels ranged from 210 to 540 µg/g dry weight (dw) and were at least 11-fold higher than midgut gland (MG) levels. Variations in ovarian AA levels are believed to be related to the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, the formation of collagen, and the deposition of egg yolk compounds. alpha-Tocopherol (alpha-T) was the predominant form of vitamin E in prawn tissues and eggs. The level of alpha-T in the MG was constant, whereas in the ovaries, it ranged from 143 to 425 µg/g dw. The incorporation of a-T into the ovary was highly correlated (r² = 0.87) to ovarian lipid levels, which probably reflects the role of this vitamin as a major antioxidant agent. The present results provide further evidence of the essentiality of these vitamins in crustacean reproduction.
