“…In addition, total protein level is commonly used in the diagnosis of fish health, nutritional status, and disease, and it typically ranges from ~4 to ~7 g/dL ( Turner, 1937 ; Ozaki,1978 ; Yanagisawa & Hashimoto, 1984 ), although the level observed in the present study was slightly lower. When fish are under stress, the primary response is increased plasma cortisol, with increases in protein level as a secondary response ( Davidson et al, 2000 ).…”

The effect of sudden changes of water temperature (WT) on the survival rate and physiological responses of the red spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara) were examined by manipulating WT control system for 9 days. Experimental condition was divided in two different regimes at low (from 10°C to 4°C, decreased 1℃/d) and high (from 28°C to 34°C, increased 1°C/d) WT. Survival rate of experimental fishes were observed, and determined the changes of hematological characteristics by analyzing plasma levels of cortisol, glucose, total protein, and electrolytes (Na+, Cl–, K+). No mortality was observed until low WT 6°C (144 h) and high WT 32°C (96 h), and 100% mortality was observed at low WT 4°C (216 h) and high WT 35°C (171 h). Plasma levels of cortisol and glucose increased rapidly as decreasing WT, and the loss of swimming ability and respiration response was observed at low WT 7°C and high WT 34°C conditions.

“…Despite the fairly high concentration of proteins in the blood of Chimaera the colloid osmotic pressure is low (Turner, 1937). The serum proteins in this animal probably consist of rather large molecules.…”

The hematocrit of Chimaera monstrosa is very low. Among the blood cells a large proportion are leukocytes. The majority of the leukocytes may be regarded as lymphocytes or lymphocyte‐like cells. Granulocytes constitute only a minor portion of the leukocytes of the blood but are abundant in the connective tissue. From morphological grounds it is probable that lymphocytopoiesis takes place in the spleen, the cranial lymphomyeloid tissue, the thymus and possibly also in other less well defined lymphomyeloid structures. An intense production of eosinophilic granulocytes occurs in the cranial lymphomyeloid tissue. The plasma contains globulins but no albumin. Two or three fractions resembling immunoglobulins of higher vertebrates migrate towards the cathode. Age differences were observed. The hypothesis is advanced that globulins originate from lymphocytes or lymphocyte‐like cells of the blood and from blast cells of various lymphomyeloid tissues.

“…Analbuminemia appears to be a common condition among primitive fishes, but more rare when fishes become more highly developed and specialized (Deutsch & McShan, 1949;Irizawa & Irizawa, 1954;Sulya et al, 1961;GriiTith et al, 1974). The low plasma protein content compared to higher vertebrates and the lack of albumin in many fish species means the colloid osmotic pressure in the capillaries is low (Keys & Hill, 1934;Turner, 1937;Sulya et al, 1961). Sulya et al, 1961 estimated the colloid osmotic pressure in fishes with analbuminemia to be approximately one-fifth of that in man.…”

Marine fishes caught in the Skagerrak, 27 different species representing various groups of fishes (Cyclostomi, Holocephali, Elasmobranchii and Teleostei), were examined for the following haematological and biochemical blood parameters : haematocrit, haemoglobin, mean corpuscle haemoglobin concentration, total plasma protein, blood glucose and blood lactate. Interspecies variations as well as variations within some species were observed. The haemoglobin values for all species showed a positive correlation to the corresponding haematocrit values. Relatively low values for haematocrit and haemoglobin were found in cyclostomes, holocephaleans and elasmobranchii compared to the majority of teleosts. Within the teleost group, the haematocrit and haemoglobin levels were positively correlated with the activity of the fish species. The cyclostome Myxine glutinosu L. had a total plasma protein content in the same range as most teleosts, whereas holocephaleans, elasmobranchii and the deep-water teleost Coryphuaaoides rupestris Gunnerus showed comparatively low values. Among teleosts some relationship seemed to exist between the total plasma protein level and the activity of the fish species. In addition, a correlation between plasma protein content and levels of blood lipids were noted. Values for blood glucose and blood lactate were found to be lower in cyclostomes, holocephaleans and elasmobranchii than in most teleosts. Higher blood glucose levels were observed in the more active teleost species.
