“…In contrast with the results of plasma protein levels in this study, Navarro and Gutiérrez (1995) expressed the opinion that there is a high tendency for plasma protein to decrease in starved fish. Similarly, plasma protein decreased in starved mature carp after five days of starvation (Blasco et al 1992). Pérez-Jiménez et al (2012) reported a significant decline in plasma protein levels of common dentex, Dentex dentex (Linnaeus, 1758), after a five-week starvation.…”

“…Fish immune responses may be influenced by nutritional states and feed deprivation (Kiron 2012). While a large number of studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of starvation on growth and metabolic responses of fish species of interest for aquaculture (Blasco et al 1992;De Pedro et al 2003;Pérez-Jiménez et al 2007;Costas et al 2011;Falahatkar 2012;Furné et al 2012;Pérez-Jimenez et al 2012;Yarmohamadi et al 2012), few studies have focused on the influence of fasting on the fish immune responses (Sakai 1983;Caruso et al 2010Caruso et al , 2011Caruso et al , 2012.…”

In this study, the effect of short-term starvation (0, 1 and 2 weeks) on biochemical parameters and nonspecific immune response of tinfoil barb (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii) was investigated. Fish in three different groups were deprived of feed for 0 (control), 1 (S 1 ) and 2 (S 2 ) weeks, respectively. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for biochemical and immunological analyses. The results indicated that plasma glucose, cholesterol and peroxidase levels and haemolytic complement activity were significantly lower in starved fish for 2 weeks than those in fed fish and in starved fish for 1 week. Plasma lysozyme activity significantly changed in different starvation periods in all treatment groups. However, no significant effect was observed on plasma antiprotease activity. There were significant differences between the control and the food-deprived groups in plasma triglyceride levels. Starvation increased plasma total protein, albumin and globulin in the deprived groups compared with the control group. The results of this study showed significant changes in nonspecific immune parameters, plasma glucose levels and other metabolites in this species after feed deprivation that are indicative of the relationship between starvation effects and the extension of starvation period.

“…Exercise also elicits isometric heart growth (Farrell et al, 1990) and greater maximum cardiac output and power output (Farrell et al, 1991) in rainbow trout. Migration could function as an extended exercise training regime rather than a starvation event, although the aptness of this analogy still needs to be demonstrated, since the physiological responses to exercise and starvation are very different (Blasco et al, 1992;Collins & Anderson, 1995;Davison, 1998). Further, certain reaches of a river, particularly those including fish ladders, waterfalls or steep gradients, could be considered as inducing acute bouts of exercise.…”

Changes in haematology during upstream migration to American shad

Heart mass of American shad Alosa sapidissima did not change during migration in the Connecticut River. Spleen mass decreased and there was an increase in available blood haemoglobin (+22%) and haematocrit (+9%). The decreases in spleen somatic index ( 29%) and spleen haemoglobin content ( 15%) were dependent upon distance travelled upriver and not seasonal migration timing or short-term exercise events such as passage up a fish ladder. There was no effect of migration timing on any of the blood parameters measured, suggesting that any physiological responses during migration were based on distance travelled rather than seasonally variable conditions such as temperature, although blood haemoglobin (+24%) and haematocrit (+21%) increased after passage up a fish ladder. These changes in haematological physiology occurring during upstream migration may increase swimming performance and migratory success in American shad. 1999 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
