“…Elevated glucose levels in animals was widely used as a secondary marker of responses to stresses such as physical handling [21], emersion or hypoxia [22], de-clawing [23], and high ammonia [24]. It appears that muscle glucose level increased in the present study as a response to stress due to high nitrite exposure, which is in agreement with the effect of nitrite to the freshwater crayfish, Astacus leptodactylus [11].…”

Effect of nitrite exposure on metabolic response in the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium nipponense

et al. 2013

The metabolic response of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense to nitrite toxicity was evaluated. The prawns were exposed to 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg L−1 NO2-N concentrations for 48 h. The metabolic parameters in muscle were measured after 12, 24 and 48 h. Glucose level significantly increased after 24 h. Exposure to lower nitrite concentrations (1 and 2 mg L−1) resulted in significant increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities after 24 and 48 h. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities treated with 2 and 3 mg L−1 nitrite-N at 48 h were significantly higher than those at 12 and 24 h. Intermediate sublethal nitrite concentrations produced significant elevations in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities from 12 h up to 48 h. No significant changes were detected in any of the groups for triglycerides and creatine kinase (CK). To satisfy the increased energy demands caused by acute nitrite exposure, mobilization of lipids is not the main reason while utilization of amino acids seems to play a more important role. The results would be helpful for aquaculture farmers to prevent a potential depression of productivity caused by elevated nitrite levels.

“…Stress is a state where organismal homeostasis is either threatened or interrupted by intrinsic and/or extrinsic stimuli or stressors (Chrousos and Gold 1992;Mercier et al 2006). Aquatic organisms are regularly exposed to severe environmental and pathophysiological stresses (Song et al 2006) that induce a cascade of molecular and physiological responses (Livingstone 1985).…”

Larvae of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana serve as important feed in fish and shellfish larviculture; however, they are subject to bacterial diseases that devastate entire populations and consequently hinder their use in aquaculture. Exposure to abiotic stress was shown previously to shield Artemia larvae against infection by pathogenic Vibrio, with the results suggesting a mechanistic role for heat shock protein 70. In the current report, combined hypothermic/hyperthermic shock followed by recovery at ambient temperature induced Hsp70 synthesis in Artemia larvae. Thermotolerance was also increased as was protection against infection by Vibrio campbellii, the latter indicated by reduced mortality and lower bacterial load in challenge tests. Resistance to Vibrio improved in the face of declining body mass as demonstrated by measurement of ash-free dry weight. Hypothermic stress only and acute osmotic insult did not promote Hsp70 expression and thermotolerance in Artemia larvae nor was resistance to Vibrio challenge augmented. The data support a causal link between Hsp70 accumulation induced by abiotic stress and enhanced resistance to infection by V. campbellii, perhaps via stimulation of the Artemia immune system. This possibility is now under investigation, and the work may reveal fundamental properties of crustacean immunity. Additionally, the findings are important in aquaculture where development of procedures to prevent bacterial infection of feed stock such as Artemia larvae is a priority.

“…It has been reported that shrimp handling is capable of producing stress and a decrease in survival rate. Mercier et al (2006) were able to elicit a clear stress response in L. vannamei through daily voluntary manipulation of animals over a four-week period. Although in their work authors reported no statistically significant differences in shrimp immunological parameters, metabolic changes and a decrease in shrimp survival were detected in animals subjected to voluntary stress.…”

-This study determined the efficacy of a β-1,3/1,6-glucan source on the survival, growth, and immunological responses of Litopenaeus vannamei challenged with infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV). The work was conducted in 20 tanks of 500 L with clear water with constant recirculation and aeration. Shrimp weighing 2.6±0.4 g were stocked at 100 animals/m 2 and reared for 10 weeks. Viral challenge occurred through oral administration of IMNV positive extract (1.82 £ × 103 copies of IMNV/µL RNA) during three consecutive days, twice a day. One treatment and three controls, with five replicate tanks each, were used, as follows: Com -commercial diet fed to non-challenged shrimp (
