In this study, the effects of different levels of water salinity were investigated on serum biochemical parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fingerlings. For this, the fish (5.53±0.057 g) were exposed to 0, 5, 13, 20 or 30 ppt water salinities for 60 days; then blood samples were taken from all treatment for hormonal and enzymatic studies. All fish died at 30 ppt water salinity, during adaptation. The results showed that there was a tendency to triiodothyronine (T3) elevation along with water salinity levels, although the changes were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Increase in water salinity significantly increased serum thyroxine (T4), cortisol, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and protease levels. Among the water salinities, 20 ppt led to a significant elevation in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. There was no significant difference in serum glucose and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in the fish reared at 5 and 13 ppt salinities; both treatments exhibited lower values compared to the 0 and 20 ppt salinities. Water salinity induced no significant changes in serum lipase activity. In conclusion, the results indicate that increase in water salinity causes elevation in cortisol and thyroid hormones, which are necessary for energy production and osmoregulation. Moreover, rainbow trout may face organ damage in saltwater, particularly at 20 ppt.","PeriodicalId":13619,"journal":{"name":"International Aquatic Research","volume":"12 1","pages":"309-314"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45608580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Influences on the largest freshwater invertebrates, the freshwater crayfish, are especially interesting in the context of cascading effects due to their important role as keystone species. In this study, lethality, influences on body weight, embryonic development and histological changes in embryos of marbled crayfish (Procambarus virginalis) as well as noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) were investigated in response to their exposure to different concentrations of Diclofenac. Additionally, the suitability of marbled crayfish as a model organism for endemic freshwater crayfish was established when studying the effects of Diclofenac. For both species, lethal effects started at concentrations of 10.24 mg/L Diclofenac, weight was not affected, embryonic development slowed down from concentrations of 0.16 mg/L and histological changes were visible from concentrations of 0.64 mg/L. The similarity of LOEC (Lowest Observed Effect Concentrations) between the two species showed that marbled crayfish can serve as a model for native crayfish when investigating the effects of exposure to Diclofenac.","PeriodicalId":13619,"journal":{"name":"International Aquatic Research","volume":"12 1","pages":"255-265"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45834611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In early 2005, a Prasinophyceae (Pseudoscourfieldia sp) phytoplankton bloom occurred, leading to fish mortality during subsequent summers (2006 and 2007). In this context, the aim of the present study was to accompany this historical period through the use of biochemical biomarkers in mullet (Mugil liza) during and after the algal bloom. Mullet were collected from Araruama Lagoon in June and July 2005 and August 2007, as well as from a reference lagoon with no algal blooms, Saquarema Lagoon. Several enzymatic activities in liver were analyzed, namely glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT), total glutathione S-transferase (GSTt), specific GSTπ (pi) and GSTμ (mi) classes and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), as well as muscle acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE). In 2005, only EROD activity was significantly increased at Araruama Lagoon, indicating induction of the biotransformation enzyme system (CYP 1A1). GSTπ, on the other hand, was lower in the Araruama Lagoon, especially in 2005, when compared to mullet from Saquarema lagoon (reference area). These results highlight the importance of developing actions that go beyond the physical-chemical monitoring of these environments, since the study of ecological relationships and the physiology of organisms affected by algal blooms also include biochemical parameters to evaluate new approaches to icthyotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":13619,"journal":{"name":"International Aquatic Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41591797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Propofol, 2,6-diisopropylphenol, seems to be a good candidate as a fish anaesthetic, however, no study regarding propofol influence on Nile tilapia has yet been reported. With this aim, the efficiency of propofol and benzocaine was compared as anesthetic for fish following immersion exposure. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was used as model due its importance in aquaculture, been the most important fish for human consumption, where 4.5 million tonnes of fish are produced worldwide. At first, determination of effective anaesthetic concentrations to induce complete anesthesia was determined, under immersion, considering time to start decubitus stage. Then the magnitude of these anesthetics was tested, measuring its effects on time remaining in decubitus, posture recovery, ventilatory frequency (VF) and latency to feed. Benzocaine induced reduction of VF under decubitus. After the anesthetic effects, VF returned quickly to basal levels. The same pattern was observed for propofol, however with no return to basal levels after recovery. Time to start decubitus was similar in both anesthetic, but time to return was higher in propofol. The latency to feed was longer in fishes submitted to propofol. Thus, propofol is a more powerful anesthetic than benzocaine in Nile tilapia, with longer duration and deeper effect. Although the common usage of propofol is by intravenous injection, here we show that immersion is efficient as an anesthetic in fish and could be adopted as a protocol in experimentation as well aquaculture management. Analgesia in fish is an area in need of significant research as only a few studies exist and they provide some contrasting results.","PeriodicalId":13619,"journal":{"name":"International Aquatic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46421115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Samples were collected on three spawning grounds in Kandalaksha Bay, on the White Sea, located within a few kilometers of each other. These sites featured differences in temperature regime, water exchange, feed organism composition, predation load, aquatic vegetation, and spawner density. Whereas we found no parasite-related or size heterogeneity in adult fish on these grounds at the beginning of the spawning season, muscle protein reserves and protease (calpain) activity patterns in adults showed significant spatial heterogeneity, which increased as spawning progressed and was particularly pronounced in females. Sticklebacks expend much energy during spawning and are worn out by the end of the spawning period. To maintain individual viability, skeletal muscle proteins degrade, and the resulting amino acids are oxidized to produce energy. Protein-degrading calpains play a key role in these processes, and also mediate intense protein metabolism in juvenile stickleback, showing higher values in individuals growing under more favorable conditions. Thus, by studying the heterogeneous life-history traits and biochemical characteristics of adult and juvenile stickleback, we discovered the effects of environmental factors on their physiology, biochemical variables, and growth.","PeriodicalId":13619,"journal":{"name":"International Aquatic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47286388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The biosorption kinetics were further described by pseudo-first- and second-order and multi-linear intraparticle diffusion graphs. Results showed that R2 values was recorded at 0.4619 – 0.9912 in the pseudo-first-order model, while in the pseudo-second-order model, R2 values was recorded at 0.9936 – 1.000.
