    Notes: Turbot Scophthalmus maximus were cannulated via the afferent branchial artery and were either net-confined in sea water or in air for 9 min to monitor the stress response of a hatchery-reared marine flatfish. No mortality was observed. Aerial exposure appeared to mobilize plasma free fatty acids and stimulate the interrenal tissue but had no effect on circulating glucose or lactate levels. This pattern was qualitatively similar to that induced by net-confinement in sea water, although the magnitude and duration of the changes were more marked in the turbot handled in sea water. Aerial exposure had no effect on plasma osmolality, protein, or Cl− concentrations and only a minor effect on plasma Na+ concentrations, which was in sharp contrast to the ionoregulatory disturbance noted in turbot which were net-confined in sea water. However, plasma K+ and cortisol concentrations were similarly elevated by both handling procedures. The results from these experiments suggest that whilst similarities with the salmonid physiological stress response are apparent, the lack of a plasma glucose response may represent a fundamental difference in turbot stress physiology.

    The effects of handling on flounder (Platichthys flesus L.) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) (1992)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of fish biology 41 (1992), S. 0

    Notes: The effect of 9 min of net confinement on two marine teleost species, the flounder and the Atlantic salmon, was investigated in order to gauge how different species respond to the same stress stimulus. Net confinement in both species induced significant elevations in plasma cortisol, glucose, lactate, osmolality, and monovalent ion levels; the responses to net confinement in salmon were generally of a greater magnitude. In both species, handling induced significant alterations in PFFA levels though there were marked species differences in the qualitative and quantitative aspects of this response. Plasma protein levels were significantly elevated only in the flounders. In general, the two species responded similarly to the net confinement with differences only in the absolute levels and durations of the responses.

    Corticosteroid and thyroid responses of larval and juvenile turbot exposed to the water-soluble fraction of crude oil (1997)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of fish biology 50 (1997), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1095-8649

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Turbot larvae (24–590 degree C days; 2–32 days post-hatch) and juveniles (1345 degree C days; 98 days post-hatch), were exposed for 6 h to 25, 33 and 50% water-soluble fraction (WSF) of crude oil in either static or flow-through test systems. Larvae showed generalized primary endocrine responses, identified by elevated whole body cortisol content from as early as 2 days post-hatch. In older larvae and juveniles, the response was related to the WSF concentration. This dose-response relationship was not apparent in younger and yolk-sac larvae. Whole body thyroxine content of turbot larvae exposed to the WSF of crude oil was increased, but triiodothyronine content remained stable. Aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations [benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) and naphthalenes] remained constant during flow-through tests, but 65% of the initial level of BTEX hydrocarbons and 40% of the naphthalenes were lost during static exposures. Larval mortalities increased with exposure to an increasing concentration of crude oil WSF. Larval activity was significantly reduced even at the lowest WSF concentration.

    Endocrine, osmoregulatory, respiratory and haematological parameters in flounder exposed to the water soluble fraction of crude oil (1996)

    Notes: Flounders Pleuronectes flesus with an implanted vascular catheter were exposed to a 50% dilution of the water soluble fraction (WSF) of Omani crude oil (c. 6ppm total aromatic hydrocarbons) and serial blood samples taken to determine their endocrine status (cortisol, catecholamines and thyroid hormones) and the resultant and/or causal physiological (haematological, ionoregulatory and respiratory) disturbances. This resulted in a progressive increase in plasma cortisol concentrations from 3 h onwards (rising from 18 to 51 ng ml−1 after 48-h exposure), and increased plasma glucose concentrations indicating a generalized stress response. Plasma T3 and T4 concentrations of both control and WSF-exposed groups declined progressively over the experimental period; exposure to the WSF of crude oil further depressed plasma T4 concentrations but not plasma T3 concentrations relative to those of control fish. Plasma osmolality and sodium and chloride concentrations were stable in WSF-exposed fish, however, plasma potassium concentrations were increased significantly at the 24-and 48-h sampling points. The most profound physiological disturbance in WSF-exposed fish was a dramatic decline in blood oxygen content (CvO2) (from 2–8 to 0–8 ml 100 ml−1 after 48-h exposure), which is likely to be the cause of the increased plasma noradrenaline concentrations from 3 h onwards. Increased noradrenaline is likely in turn to have been responsible for the significant increase in blood haematocrit and blood haemoglobin at the 3-h sampling point, although the dominant effect in the longer-term was a significant decline in both of these haematological parameters.

    Sublethal effects of the pesticide Diazinon on olfactory function in mature male Atlantic salmon parr (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of fish biology 48 (1996), S. 0

    Notes: Diazinon, an organophosphate pesticide, had a sublethal effect on the olfactory system of mature male Atlantic salmon parr. The olfactory responses of the parr to prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) were studied after exposure of the epithelium to different concentrations of Diazinon in water. Electrophysiological recordings from the epithelium indicated that the responses to this prostaglandin were significantly reduced at nominal concentrations as low as 1.0μg l−1 and the threshold of detection was reduced 10-fold at 2.0 μg 1−1 . Mature male salmon parr exposed for a period of 120 h to Diazinon (nominal concentrations 0.3, 0.8, 1.7, 2.7, 5.6, 13, 28 and 45 μg 1 −1) also had significantly reduced levels of the reproductive steroids, 17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one, testosterone and gonadotrophin II in the blood plasma after priming with ovulated female salmon urine. Both prostaglandin F2a and ovulated female urine are known to have important roles in synchronizing reproductive physiology and behaviour in salmonids as well as other fish species. The results are therefore discussed in relation to the possible sublethal effects of Diazinon on reproduction in the Atlantic salmon and possible effects on populations of salmonids.

    Reproductive priming in mature male Atlantic salmon parr exposed to the sound of redd cutting (1999)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of fish biology 55 (1999), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1095-8649
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The sounds of a wild female Atlantic salmon cutting a redd were associated with significant increases in the levels of plasma 17,20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (17,20βP) and of expressible milt in mature male parr, comparable with levels of the steroid and milt produced in parr exposed to the priming pheromone, prostaglandin F2a. Hence auditory cues may have a significant role in synchronising reproductive physiology in Atlantic salmon.
