“…Seasonal variation in the lipid profile analysis revealed that two fractions (CHOL and TRIG) were the highest in spring, probably in relation to the food availability and the feeding rate. Similar results were also reported in the past for other fish species in the Mediterranean and other areas [26][27][28]. On the other hand, it should be emphasised that the mean values of CHOL and TRIG for S. porcus throughout the year are lower than those reported for some Mediterranean species: Oblada melanura [11], Scyliorhinus canicula [27], Sparus aurata [29] and mullets [30].…”

“…On the other side, ALP has no known function in the blood, but its plasma activities depend on the rate of leakage from cells and the rate of removal from the blood [37]. The influence of water temperature on enzyme activities in fish blood is primary [38]; therefore, it is not surprising that values of both AST and ALP varied depending on the influence of seasons [28], as noted in our study. However, analyses of the annual dynamics of enzyme activities in the blood of several fish species showed that spawning is also one of the most important factors that influenced enzyme activities [38].…”

“…Fish have an antioxidant defence system that is influenced by various factors, such as diet, behaviour, age, physiological status in general and chemical composition of water [19,28]. Antioxidant enzymes, including GPx and SOD investigated here, have an important role in protective mechanisms against reactive oxygen species [19].…”

Assessment of Fish Health: Seasonal Variations in Blood Parameters of the Widely Spread Mediterranean Scorpaenid Species, Scorpaena porcus

The measurement of haematological and biochemical parameters is essential for monitoring the health status of wild fish. More specifically, blood parameters provide crucial information on the physiological changes that occur in fish in response to various fluctuations in their environment. This study presents reference ranges and seasonal variations for 15 blood parameters of the black scorpionfish, Scorpaena porcus, as a species of high value for ecosystem monitoring in the Mediterranean. The mean haematocrit (HCT) values differed significantly between seasons, with the highest value recorded in winter. In addition, six plasma parameters varied significantly during the year. Cholesterol (CHOL), non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations were notably higher during the spring/summer period and at their lowest levels in autumn/winter. On the contrary, levels of glucose (GLU) were highest during autumn and lowest during the spring season. The post hoc Tukey test revealed that there were significant differences in HCT values for winter vs. spring, in CHOL for spring vs. all other seasons, in NEFA for summer vs. autumn and summer vs. spring, in GLU for spring vs. summer, in AST for autumn vs. spring, in ALP for winter vs. all other seasons and in SOD for summer vs. all other seasons (p < 0.05 in all cases). A total of nine blood parameters showed a significant relationship with fish size throughout different seasons. Our results suggest that monitoring blood parameters may serve as a useful biomarker, and we provide a reliable basis for the future monitoring of the health status of the investigated S. porcus. Considering significant seasonal variations, the use of season-specific reference ranges is recommended for this scorpaenid species.

“…The ALB value increased with the body weight of the fish and showed the same degree of variation as TP in formulated diet group. Similar to our findings, IHU Ţ et al (2020) obtained higher TP and ALB values as the body weight of fish increased [54]. ALB:GLB ratio is an index used to track changes in plasma or serum composition.…”

As an endangered animal species, the Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) has been artificially cultured during recent years. In the present experiment, the performance of a common formulated feed and a mixed natural feed on the growth and blood physiology of Chinese sturgeon were compared during one year of indoor culture. In terms of specific growth rate, the formulated diet group showed a higher value (4.2%) compared with the natural food group (−1.8%) during one year of indoor culture. Alanine aminotransferase activities of the sturgeons in formulated diet group was significantly higher than that in the natural food group throughout whole experiment period (p < 0.05). The total protein albumin, albumin and globulin contents of the natural food group were significantly higher than that of the formulated diet group in February and May (p < 0.05). The C-reactive protein contents of the formulated diet group were significantly higher than that of natural food group in May and August (p < 0.05). The activities of total cholesterol, high-density cholesterol, and low-density cholesterol were significantly higher in the natural food group than those in the formulated diet group (p < 0.05). The activities of triglycerides were significantly higher in the natural food group than those in the formulated diet group in February and May (p < 0.05). Almost half of the biochemical indicators examined show significant seasonal fluctuations, indicating that seasons have a substantial impact on the Chinese sturgeon. Overall, these results indicate that natural food exerted a positive impact on physiological indicators compared to the formulated diet.

“…Changes in the red blood component with manifestations of low/high RBC, Hct, and Hb values are a key feature of the clinical picture in different fish species. Erythrocyte indices help in diagnosing and treating anemia for each species, but the values of these indices are affected by age, sex, body mass, population density, environmental and species parameters [ 46 ].…”

Blood biochemistry parameters are valuable tools for monitoring fish health. Their baseline values are still undefined for a multitude of farmed fish species. In this study, changes in the blood profile of rainbow trout females (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from three farms were investigated using different biomarkers during the summer season. In the given context, the main water physicochemical parameters were investigated and twelve biochemical parameters were measured from blood samples of rainbow trout reared in the Fiad, Șoimul de Jos, and Strâmba farms. We selected these farms because the genetic background of the rainbow trout is the same, with all studied specimens coming from the Fiad farm, which has an incubation station. Forty-five samples were collected monthly (May to August) throughout summer to observe the changes in the blood profile of rainbow trout. Principal component analysis showed a clear separation both among the studied farms and months. Furthermore, significant correlations (p < 0.05) between the majority of the biochemical parameters were found, indicating that the environmental parameters can influence several blood parameters at the same time. The present study provides several useful norms for assessing the welfare of rainbow trout, indicating that the relationships among different parameters are important factors in interpreting the blood biochemical profiles.
