“…Their presence in blood plasma may give information on tissue injury or organ dysfunction (Wells et al, 1986). In the present study on exposure to acidic medium to the fish, N.notopterus the decrease in SGOT, SGPT, and increase ALP has been observed and this may be because of the degeneration and destruction of the tissues.…”

Abstract. The present study was carried out to find out the changes induced by one of the stress conditions such as acidic medium exposure on some haematological and blood biochemical, parameters in the fresh water fish, Notopterus notopterus. Increase in the haemoglobin and haematocrite indicate haemoconcentration in the fish blood. Glucose, alkaline phosphatase, sodium and calcium, protein, BUN, creatinine, triglycerides, enzymes such as SGOT and SGPT were decreased in the fish N.notopterus exposed to acidic condition. The changes in the environmental factors such as acidic condition cause stress to the fish which may bring disturbance in the blood parameters effecting the survival of fish.

Although euryhaline teleosts can adapt to environmental fluctuation of salinity, their energy source for responding to changes in salinity and osmolarity remains unclear. This study examines the cellular localization of creatine kinase (CK) expression in branchia of tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Western blot analysis of muscle-type CK (MM form) revealed a high association with salinity changes, but BB and MB forms of CK in the gills of fish adapted to seawater did not change. With the use of immunocytochemistry, three CK isoforms (MM, MB, and BB) were localized in mitochondria-rich (MR) cells and other epithelial cells of tilapia gills. In addition, staining intensity of MM-form CK in MR cells increased after seawater transfer, whereas BB and MB forms did not significantly change. To our knowledge, this work presents the first evidence of CK expression in MR cells of tilapia gills, highlighting the potential role of CK in providing energy for ion transport. creatine kinase isoform; mitochondria-rich cells; gill CREATINE KINASE (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) catalyzes the reversible transfer of the phosphoryl group from phosphocreatine to ADP, regenerating ATP. CK participates in an ubiquitous role to meet the energy demand for homeostasis during environmental changes. The phosphocreatine/creatine kinase is present in some excitable tissues, such as Narcine brasiliensis electric organ (2), and in nonexcitable tissues, such as Squalus acanthias rectal gland (10), Gillichthys mirabilis gills (15), and Oreochromis mossambicus gills (37), with high and fluctuating energy demand. Plasma CK exhibits the physiological stress responses in big game fish after capture, perhaps because of muscle damage and subsequent release of cytosolic soluble CK in the plasma (36). Total CK activity significantly declined 20% in the fish (O. mossambicus) brain after exposure to hypergravity for 7 days (30). Additionally, some evidence has demonstrated seasonal fluctuations of CK in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (3), variability of CK isoenzymes in various tissues of trout (22), and genetic variability in tissue CK among fish species including rainbow trout and salmon (22,26). Furthermore, CK provides energy for ion transport (Na ϩ -K ϩ -ATPase) in the gill of G. mirabilis when the CK inhibitor iodoacetamide is used (15). It seems that the phosphocreatine/creatine kinase shuttle in cytosol might coordinate with that in mitochondria to provide more ATP for the extra energy demand of Na ϩ -K ϩ -ATPase to pump out excess ions under hypertonic conditions. The results imply that CK may be a good candidate for converting the energy after seawater transfer.Many CK isoforms are identified by their electrophoretic mobility, tissue and subcellular distribution, and primary sequence (24, 34). Three cytosolic CK isozymes [BB-CK (brain), MM-CK (muscle), and MB-CK (heart, lungs, stomach) (5, 8)] and two mitochondrial forms [sarcomeric MiCK (expressed mainly in heart and skeletal muscle and probably in some brain cells such as Purkinje neurons) and ubiquito...

“…When assessing stress associated with catch-and-release angling, it is usually the secondary responses that are evaluated. These secondary physiological disturbances typically include white muscle imbalances (i.e., accumulation of lactate and depletion of tissue energy stores; Kieffer et al, 1995;Suski et al, 2004) and hematological alterations (e.g., acid/base imbalances, hydromineral imbalances, accumulation of metabolites; Wells et al, 1986;Gustaveson et al, 1991;Kieffer et al, 1995;Wilkie et al, 1996Wilkie et al, , 1997) associated with anaerobic activity. Furthermore, the cardiorespiratory system also experiences changes reflecting the heightened physical activity and resultant increased tissue oxygen demands (or repayment of oxygen debt; Schreer et al, 2001;.…”

Fish captured by recreational anglers are often released either voluntarily or because of harvest regulations in a process called ''catch-and-release''. Catch-and-release angling is thought to be beneficial for the conservation of fish stocks based on the premise that most of the fish that are released survive. However, expanding interest in animal welfare has promoted debate regarding the ethics of catch-and-release angling. There is a growing recognition that fish can consciously experience nociception and that they have some capacity to experience pain and fear. Indeed, empirical anatomical, physiological, and behavioural evidence supports the notion that fish could experience these two forms of suffering (i.e., pain and fear). Based on that premise, we examine existing catch-and-release research from a welfare perspective to determine the extent to which potential pain and suffering could be caused. There are numerous studies that provide analyses of the consequences of catch-and-release on the individual demonstrating physical injury, sublethal alterations in behaviour, physiology, or fitness, and mortality. Collectively, this research suggests that all recreational fishing results in some level of injury and stress to an individual fish. However, the severity of injury, magnitude of stress, and potential for mortality varies extensively in response to a variety of factors. Interestingly, this information can be used to identify strategies that anglers may adopt that minimize these effects through changes in either gear (e.g., type of hook, bait, or net) or angling practices (e.g., duration of fight and air exposure, fishing during extreme environmental conditions, fishing during the reproductive period). Although aspects of the catch-and-release angling experience cannot be refined (e.g., the need to physically hook the fish), we argue that informed anglers and fisheries managers can adopt practices to improve the welfare of angled fish. Although consideration of fish welfare is somewhat abstract to most anglers and fisheries managers, ultimately it benefits the individual fish, while simultaneously benefiting the fish population and fishery. Greater integration of welfare consideration into recreational and commercial fisheries should promote innovative solutions to minimize pain and suffering, which should also enhance conservation and management. #
