“…These observations could be explained by the origin of HSP and lysozyme due to phagocyte stimulation. Total serum proteins did not vary significantly in all experimental groups and were not influenced by the feeding regime during the whole trial, confirming other data [43]. Mean value and range were similar to those reported for sea bass [44].…”

“…No significant variation on total serum protein values during the experiment on any different diet groups were observed, which is similar to that reported in other species (Dicentrarchus labrax, L. guttatus) fed with β-1,3/1,6 glucan supplemented diets using similar concentrations (SitjÀ-Bobadilla & Pérez-Sánchez, 1999;Bagni et al, 2005;Del Rio-Zaragoza et al, 2011). No difference (P > 0.05) on glucose levels between treated and control fish were observed, suggesting a proper response from fish to biological modifiers like β-1,3/1,6 glucans.…”

ABSTRACT. Biological response modifiers such as pro and prebiotics have been recently used in aquaculture showing abilities as immunostimulants, enhancing resistance to different fungal, bacterial and parasitic pathogens and tolerance to environmental stress. This experiment evaluated three different concentrations (0.05, 0.1 and 0.5%) of β-1,3/1,6 glucans on nonspecific immune parameters of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus. Results showed that intake supplementation with 0.05% of β-1,3/1,6 glucans provides a greater immunostimulation over the fourth treatment week. Significant higher differences (P < 0.05) were obtained on parameters related to phagocytic activity on blood cells, also other assays showed more reactive cells to nitroblue tetrazolium (NbT) stain on spleen and head kidney analysis. We conclude that the use of 0.05% of β-1,3/1,6 glucans added to a commercial diet improves nonspecific immune system of channel catfish I. punctatus.

“…Similar to what happens in mammals, an adequate nutritional status is crucial for fish health preservation; in fact, feeding rates and composition were shown to affect innate immune functioning (Fletcher 1986;Landolt 1989;Blazer 1992;Waagbø 1994;Sitjà-Bobadilla and Pérez-Sánchez 1999;Alcorn et al 2003). However, the current knowledge of the effects of starvation on the immune response is limited (Sullivan and Somero 1983;Bastrop et al 1992;Blom et al 2000;Guderley et al 2003).…”

The physiological effects of short-term starvation on some haematological, biochemical and non-specific immune response parameters together with the histological structure of the skin, were investigated in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. Blood haemoglobin and haematocrit, serum glucose and cortisol, hemolysins, haemagglutinins, and lysozyme in the plasma, kidney and epidermal extract, were measured in fish after 31, 42 and 58 days of starvation, and compared to those of fed fish. Starvation did not affect haemoglobin and haematocrit values, while an increase in glucose and cortisol levels was found in starved eels by day 42. Haemolytic and haemagglutinating activities decreased in starved eels. On the other hand, starvation caused an increase in the lysozyme content in the epidermal extracts, while no significant variations were observed in kidney and plasma. On the whole, no major changes in metabolic, haematological and non-specific immune parameters were observed when short-term (less than 2 months) starvation was applied to the European eel, suggesting an adaptive response to starvation, rather than a typical alarm-stress response, allowing this species to withstand food deprivation.
