“…In present study, AST and ALT activities were lower than those reported in common carp and goldfish (Brenden and Huizinga 1986). In addition, our AST, LDH, and ALP activities for A. stellatus were higher than those reported for channel catfish, but ALT activity was lower (Bentinck-Smith et al 1987). Studies on serum enzymes activities in English sole show that the ALT level is higher but AST level is lower than those values in A. stellatus (Casillas et al 1982).…”

Hematological studies on fishes have assumed greater significance due to the increasing emphasis on pisciculture and greater awareness of the pollution of natural water resources. Such studies have generally been used as an effective and sensitive index to monitor physiological and pathological changes in fishes, especially in the management of endangered species. This study was undertaken to establish a reference range for six important blood serum enzymes. Serum samples of 40 Acipenser stellatus (20 female and 20 male) were analyzed, and serum enzyme values were determined. The reference ranges for the total samples and also for each sex were determined. The activities of measured enzymes in serum were: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 265.60 +/- 56.55 IU/l, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 5.65 +/- 1.18 IU/l, acid phosphatase (ACP) 15.63 +/- 2.59 IU/l, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) 2007.15 +/- 521.97 IU/l, creatine kinase (CK) 6,596.05 +/- 1,807.19 IU/l, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 69.05 +/- 13.04 IU/l. There were significant differences between male and female fish in terms of AST and CK activity (P < 0.05). These may be related to the season of sampling and changing physiological cycles during spawning during which period the sexual hormones and stress are more obvious. However, there were no differences in the activity of ALP, ACP, LDH, and ALT between sexes. The correlations between measured enzymes were also determined.

“…In the present study SGOT and ALP activities were found to be higher than those reported in Acipenser stellatus [16] whereas the SGPT activity is higher in the fish N.notopterus [9]. This variation has been also reported for common carp and gold fish [4], channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus [2]. Such variation in the activities of various enzymes in fish species may be due to sampling technique, analysis method, age of fish, habitat and diet [15].…”

“…However, there is variation of values between the species. Besides specificity and ecology of the target population, the method of capture, age of fish, method of drawing blood and diet are all variables that should be considered in accepting study specimens and evaluating results, [2]. In the fish, N.notopterus [9] serum enzymes such as SGPT and SGOT and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were determined and found to be with a range of 15.15 -17.20 U/L, 12.62 -16.70 U/L, 35.40 -69.37 IU/L respectively.…”

Abstract. The blood creatinine, some blood enzymes, glutamic oxaloacetic tranaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) have been determined in four locally available Indian carp fishes such as Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhanus mrigala and Labeo fimbriatus to assess the kidney functioning in these fishes in relation to the aquatic body and their successful survival. The results indicate that the blood creatinine level is low with more or less uniform values in all the four species of fish. The higher values were observed for the two blood enzymes (SGPT and SGOT) in all the four types of fishes compared to the fish Notopterus notopterus from our earlier studies and also reported in other fishes. Thus indicating normal functioning of kidneys and other organs in all the four types of fishes studied which are healthy and are probably not stressed.

The direct effects of osmotic pressure (salinity) on growth performance and lipid composition were investigated in fish cells in culture. Cell lines from a relatively stenohaline marine species, turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) (TF) and an anadromous species, Atlantic salmon (AS) were cultured in media supplemented with NaCl to produce osmotic pressures varying from 300 to 500 mOsm kg(-1). The growth rates of the two cell lines were affected in a similar manner by the salinity of the media with the rank order for both peak cell numbers and growth rates up to the day of peak cell number being 300 > 350 > 400 > 450 > 500 mOsm kg(-1). Cell death occurred in both cell lines in older cultures at all salinities with the greatest loss of viable cells in media of 300 and 350 kg(-1). However, there were quantitative and qualitative differences between the cell lines in their lipid metabolism in response to the salinity of the media. The lipid content expressed per cell showed a positive correlation between lipid per cell and salinity in TF cells, but this was less apparent in AS cells. The percentage of total polar lipid classes increased with increasing salinity in TF cells due mainly to graded increases in the percentages of choline phospholipids. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the proportions of polar and neutral lipid classes with salinity in AS cells. The only significant effect of salinity in AS cells was a decreased proportion of dimethylacetals in total lipid at the highest salinity. The same significant effect of salinity on dimethylacetal content of total lipid was observed in TF cells. However, in addition there was a graded decrease in the percentage of 18:2n-9 in TF cell total lipid with increasing salinity. This was accompanied by increased percentages of total n-3 and n-6 PUFA with higher proportions of both groups of PUFA at 450 and 500 compared with 300 mOsm kg(-1). The results show that environmental salinity, in the absence of hormonal or other physiological stimuli, has direct effects on the growth and lipid metabolism of fish cells and that these effects differ in cells from different fish species.
