“…the chasing and swimming of fish, physical injury provoked by the contact among fish and with the net and anoxia by air exposure (Mugnier et al, 1998;Arends et al, 1999;Ross and Ross, 1999;Barcellos et al, 2001;Morales et al, 2005). Confirming the literature regarding fish stress, elevated circulating cortisol and glucose of pacu were short-term responses in both air-exposed fish after capture and the recovery occurred within 24 hours.…”

“…Various stressors, including fish capture (Mugnier et al, 1998;Arends et al, 1999;Barcellos et al, 2001;Rocha et al, 2004;Morales et al, 2005), are necessary components of modern intensive aquaculture (Wendelaar Bonga, 1997). The fish response to such stressors involves a series of physiological changes in an attempt to compensate for the challenge imposed upon it and, thereby cope with the stress.…”

“…However, little research has been done on native South American fishes. Among the Brazilian farmed fish, research on stress has been carried out on matrinxã (Brycon cephalus) (Günther, 1869) (Carneiro and Urbinati, 2001;Ide et al, 2003;Rocha et al, 2004;Urbinati et al, 2004), tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) (Cuvier, 1818) (Gomes et al, 2003a), pirarucu (Arapaimas gigas) (Schinz, 1822) (Gomes et al, 2003b) and jundiá (Randia quelen) (Quoy and Gaimard, 1824) (Barcellos et al, 2001). Despite pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) (Holmberg, 1887) being considered one of the most important native species (Queiroz et al, 2005) and studies on its reproduction (Romagosa et al, 1990), larviculture (Jomori et al, 2003), feeding and nutrition (Souza et al, 2000;Bechara et al, 2005;Abimorad et al, 2007) are available, there is sparse knowledge on the stress response of the species (Krieger et al, 1989;Martins et al, 2000;.…”

The effects of capture (chasing, netting and air exposure) on cortisol, glucose, chloride, sodium, potassium and calcium concentrations, osmolality, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, red blood cells count (RBC) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were investigated in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus). A total of 132 fish (49.7 ± 11.7 g) were subjected to capture and 3 minutes air exposure and capture and 5 minutes air exposure. Nine fish at each treatment were sampled at 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 24 hours after the procedure. Nine undisturbed fish were sacrificed before the handling and used as controls. Capture resulted in a rise in blood cortisol and glucose 30 and 5 minutes, respectively, after both air exposures. Both indicators returned to resting levels 24 hours after capture. In both fish groups, plasma chloride decreased 60 minutes after capture, not recovering the resting levels within 24 hours after, and serum sodium rose at 15 and 30 minutes and recovered the resting levels 24 hours later. There were no significant changes neither in potassium, calcium and osmolality nor in hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC and MCV as a consequence of capture. The sequential stressors imposed to pacu during capture activated the brain-pituitary-interrenal axis (cortisol and glucose responses) but the activation of the brain-sympathetic-chromaffin cell axis was apparently moderate (ionic and hematological responses).Keywords: capture, air exposure, stress, Piaractus mesopotamicus. Indicadores biológicos de estresse em pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) após captura ResumoOs efeitos da captura (perseguição, contenção em puçá e exposição aérea) no perfil sanguíneo do cortisol, glicose, cloreto, sódio, potássio, cálcio e na osmolaridade, hematócrito, hemoglobina, número de células vermelhas (CV) e volume corpuscular médio (VCM) foram investigados no pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus). Um total de 132 peixes (49,7 ± 11,7 g) foi submetido à captura com 3 ou 5 minutos de exposição aérea. Nove peixes de cada tratamento foram amostrados 5, 15, 30, 60 minutos e 24 horas depois e outros nove peixes foram amostrados antes da captura e considerados controle. A captura resultou em aumento do cortisol e glicose no sangue 30 e 5 minutos depois da captura, respectivamente, independente do tempo de exposição aérea. Ambos os indicadores recuperaram os valores controle em 24 horas. Nos dois grupos de peixes, o cloreto plasmático diminuiu 60 minutos após captura e não recuperou os valores controle, enquanto o sódio sérico aumentou entre 15 e 30 minutos recuperando a condição controle em 24 horas. Não houve alteração significativa nos valores de potássio, cálcio, osmolaridade ou no hematócrito, hemoglobina, CV e VCM como consequência da captura. Os estressores sequenciais aplicados no pacu durante a captura ativaram o eixo cérebro-pituitária-interrenal (respostas do cortisol e glicose), mas a ativação do eixo cérebro-sistema simpático-células cromafins foi aparentemente moderada (respostas iônicas e hematológicas).Palavras-chave: captura, exposiç...

“…This situation cause stress, which increases cortisol levels in silver catfish (BARCELLOS et al, 2001;2004) and stimulates glycogenesis, gluconeogenesis, protein catabolism and ammonia production (RANDALL & TSUI, 2002;IP & CHEW, 2010). Silver catfish net Na + , K + and Cl -effluxes through the transport increased with the increase of loading density, demonstrating that high loading density increases ionoregulatory stress in this species.…”

Abstract:The physiological effects of acute stress (induced by an intraperitoneal injection) on the haematocrit, haemoglobin, serum cortisol and glucose, haemagglutinins and lysozyme were investigated in juvenile sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax. A total of 40 fish were subjected to an intraperitoneal injection. Eight fish were sampled at 0, 2, 4, 24 and 48 h after acute stress and compared to unstressed fish (controls) sacrificed at the same times. Intraperitoneal injection resulted in significant changes in cortisol and glucose 4 and 2 hours after exposure to stress, respectively, but not in haematocrit and haemoglobin levels. No significant differences between stressed and control fish were recorded for lysozyme content and haemagglutinating activity throughout the experiment. In juvenile sea bass acute stress caused by intraperitoneal injection was mostly associated with the increase in common stress indicators (cortisol and glucose), while no clear response in terms of non-specific immune parameters was evidenced.
