Abstract
Routine observations of blood smears have repeatedly shown that triploid fish have a greater proportion of erythrocytes with nuclear segmentation (ENS) than diploids; however, there is as yet no understanding of why this is the case and whether it affects erythrocyte function. In an attempt to address this, we examined blood smears from two previous experiments to determine whether ENS frequency is affected by rearing conditions (acclimation temperature or dissolved oxygen level) and subsequent acute aerobic distress in diploid and triploid brook charr Salvelinus fontinalis (Mitchill 1814). As expected, triploids had a higher ENS frequency than corresponding diploids, but with no biologically significant effect of experimental conditions on ENS frequency in triploids. ENS was too rare to examine the effects of these conditions in diploids.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Fish Biology is a leading international journal for scientists engaged in all aspects of fishes and fisheries research, both fresh water and marine. The journal publishes high-quality papers relevant to the central theme of fish biology and aims to bring together under one cover an overall picture of the research in progress and to provide international communication among researchers in many disciplines with a common interest in the biology of fish.
