Serum parameters of Adriatic sturgeon Acipenser naccarii (Pisces: Acipenseriformes): effects of temperature and stress

The Effect of Short-term Starvation on Some Physiological and Morphological Parameters in Juvenile Siberian Sturgeon, Acipenser Baerii (Actinopterygii: Acipenseriformes: Acipenseridae)

“…Blood samples were rapidly collected from the caudal vein using heparinized syringes. Plasma was immediately detached after centrifuging blood samples in 3000 rpm for 10 min (Cataldi et al 1998) and then stored at -20ºC (Bayunova et al 2002) until thyroid hormones and total protein analyses were performed. Then six fish individuals per treatment were rapidly euthanized, after which whole fish body-, liver, viscera-, and digestive tract weights were recorded for the determination of HSI, VSI, and DSI.…”

Parasitic infection alters haematology and immunity parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, Linnaeus, 1758

“…Haematological parameters are used as indicators of fish health in relation to diseases and surrounding water alternation (Garcia-Navarro 1994; Cataldi et al 1998;Serpunin and Likhatchyova 1998;Ranzani-Paiva et al 1999). The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is a widespread freshwater fish of eutrophic waters in lakes and large rivers in Europe and Asia.…”

Reproductive Behaviour, Hematological Profile and Monogenean Microfauna of the Nest-Breeding, Nile Green Tilapia (Tilapia zilli) Gervais, 1848

“…[27]suggested that data obtained from the hematological analysis of fish might provide valuable information about the characteristic features of the waterbody in stressed ecosystems. [28,29] highlighted the effects of fish gender on the hematological parameters. [30] highlighted the importance of hematological approaches as an understanding tool of the relationship between elements of the blood and the habitat, and adaptive responses of the living organism to the environment.…”
