“…Assessment of haematological parameters (white blood cell, WBC; red blood cell, RBC; haemoglobin concentration, Hb; haematocrit, Hct; mean corpuscular volume, MCV; mean corpuscular haemoglobin, MCH; mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, MCHC; thrombocytes, TC) was performed immediately after blood collection by an automatic method using a blood cell counter, HeCo Vet C (SEAC, Florence, Italy). This instrument uses a special lysing reagent for fish (SEAC, Code 71010460) previously employed to investigate haematological profile in various fish species Fazio, Saoca, Casella, Fortino, & Piccione, 2015;Fazio et al, 2019;Fazio, Saoca, Vazzana, & Piccione, 2017;Fazio, Arfuso, Levanti, Saoca, & Piccione, 2017;.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary vitamin C supplementation on the blood and biometric parameters of striped bass Morone saxatilis (Walbaum, 1752). For the trial, two groups fed for sixty days were used: group A (basic feed with low vitamin C concentration) and group B (high vitamin C supplement feed). Twenty fish from each group were selected and blood samples were collected to analyse the following blood parameters: white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), haematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), thrombocytes (TC), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TBIL), aspartate aminotransferase (AST); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine kinase (CK), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), chlorine (Cl), potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), creatinine (CREA) and urea. For all fish, weight, total length and condition factor (K) were registered. Unpaired t-test showed significant differences in biometric indices and some blood parameters between the two groups. Vitamin C supplement improves fish growth and influences important blood parameters that indicate the health status of fish. These results are useful for food management in aquaculture systems of striped bass.

“…The level of naturally occurring radioactive elements in the marine environment has gradually increased due to human activities, such as mining and processing of ores, production of natural oil and gas, and combustion of fossil fuels in coal-fired power plants. Moreover, anthropogenic contributions are made by underwater nuclear device tests, post-nuclear disposal of industrial and radioactive waste, recycling of spent nuclear fuel, and accidents, including leaks from nuclear power plants [4][5][6][7]. Among the radionuclides, uranium, radium, and radon are soluble in seawater, whereas thorium is almost completely insoluble.…”

“…In addition, trace metals are released into the environment from different sources, such as transportation, industrial activities, fossil fuels, agriculture, urbanization, and other human activities [6][7][8][9]. The release of large quantities of trace metals into nature has resulted in several environmental problems due to their non-biodegradability and persistence.…”

“…Fish and crustacean species, because of their important dual role as both an integral element of marine food webs and a commercial food product for humans, are frequently selected as indicator organisms in studies related to pollution or the bioaccumulation processes of various noxious substances [15]. The bioaccumulation of trace metals and isotopic contaminants by the tissues and organs of marine organisms has been studied globally and has led to the adoption of the bioindicator concept for environmental quality assessments [5][6][7][8]16,17].…”

Assessment of the Levels of Pollution and of Their Risks by Radioactivity and Trace Metals on Marine Edible Fish and Crustaceans at the Bay of Bengal (Chattogram, Bangladesh)

et al. 2021

Marine environmental pollution is a longstanding global problem and has a particular impact on the Bay of Bengal. Effluent from different sources directly enters rivers of the region and eventually flows into the Bay of Bengal. This effluent may contain radioactive materials and trace metals and pose a serious threat to the coastal environment, in addition to aquatic ecosystems. Using gamma spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry, a comprehensive study was carried out on the radioactivity (226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs) and trace metal (Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, and Cr) concentrations, respectively, in fish and crustacean species collected from the coastal belt of the Bay of Bengal (Chattogram, Bangladesh). The analysis showed a noticeable increment in the levels of different radioactive pollutants in the marine samples, although the consumption of the studied fish and crustacean species should be considered safe for human health. Anthropogenic radionuclide (137Cs) was not detected in any sample. Furthermore, the metal concentrations of a small number of trace elements (Pb, Cd, Cr) were found to be higher in most of the samples, which indicates aquatic fauna are subject to pollution. The estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and target cancer risk (TR) were calculated and compared with the permissible safety limits. It was found that consuming the seafood from the Bay of Bengal may cause adverse health impacts if consumption and/or means of pollution are not controlled.

“…Monitoring of cholesterol levels, being an essential structural component of cell membranes and the precursor of all steroid hormones, is of fundamental importance to determine the healthy status of teleost [12]. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are two major aminotransferases being the most significant enzymes involved in protein and amino acid metabolism [13,14] These, with other parameters, are commonly used to detect health of aquatic animals [15,16,17].…”

This study aims to evaluate some biochemical parameters and serum electrolytes in cultured rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792) to evaluate a potential correlation with biometric parameters (weight and length). For this purpose, 100 cultured trout (300-700 g weight range, 25-38 cm length range) bred on a fishfarm were used for the study. Physico-chemical characteristics of water were measured on the farm. Blood samples were collected from each fish to analyze the following parameters: glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase (AST); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), calcium (Ca 2þ ), chlorine (Cl À ), iron (Fe 2þ ), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg 2þ ), potassium (K þ ), sodium (Na þ ) and urea. Statistical data analysis showed a significant correlation between size and glucose and cholesterol. No correlation was found between size and other parameters studied. These results represent a contribution to the study of fish size leading to better understanding some biochemical parameters and serum electrolyte profiles in cultured rainbow trout. This research contributes to understanding the intra-individual variability of some blood parameters in cultured rainbow trout O. mykiss offering reliable information on chronic stress status, metabolic disorders and deficiencies in relation to different sizes. These could help in improve the health monitoring in trout fish farms.
