“…These altered structure in erythrocytes and nucleus can induce anemic condition to the thermally stressed fishes. Similar abnormalities in erythrocyte and nuclei were reported in striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus when treated with higher temperature (36℃) for 7-28 days (Shahjahan et al, 2018;Islam et al, 2019). The observed structural changes in erythrocyte and nuclei may be attributed to one or more of the following factors: (i) unequal distribution of hemoglobin (Mekkawy et al, 2011); (ii) necrosis of the red blood cells (Ateeq et al, 2002); (iii) interruption in lipid solubility to erythrocyte's membrane (Walia et al, 2013).…”

“…Therefore, examining blood cells has been considered a valuable approach for analyzing the health status of fish and enhancing our understanding of the relationship of blood characteristics with the habitat and adaptability of a species to an environment (Fazio et al, 2012;Shahjahan et al, 2018;De et al, 2019;Islam et al, 2019). Thus, the use of blood indicators in fisheries research is growing rapidly as it is very important in toxicological research, environmental monitoring and predicting of fish health conditions (Barcello s et al, 2004).…”

“…However, temperature can increase to a point that may become harmful for growth and damage physiological processes (Fu et al, 2018). Though a number of studies were conducted to make a better understanding of blood cell morphology of fishes under various environmental toxicants (Rowan, 2007;Osman et al, 2018;Shahjahan et al, 2018;Islam et al, 2019;Rahman et al, 2019), the effect of high temperature on erythrocyte and nuclear morphometry are not well studied. Therefore, the present study was intended to evaluate the morphometric indices of erythrocytes and their nucleus under elevated water temperature which will help to check the health status of E. akaara in a quick time.…”

“…Stress alters the haematological parameters of fish, with downstream impacts on numerous physiological processes (Beyea, Benfey, & Kieffer, 2005; Islam et al., 2019; Shahjahan et al., 2018). RBC and Hb levels are significantly reduced in response to elevated temperatures.…”

“…Thermal stress caused by elevated temperatures alters the Hb and RBC content in Neotropical fish, Prochiodus scrofa (Carvalho & Fernandes, 2006), which is similar to our present findings. Elevated temperature decreased the Hb and RBC content in blood of the striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (Islam et al., 2019; Shahjahan et al., 2018). WBC content is an accepted indicator of the health status of fish and is central to improve nonspecific or innate immunity (Roberts, 1978).…”

Temperature is considered as an important environmental factor, and the increasing water temperature resulting from global warming is a great concern. The present study was conducted to examine the effects of elevated water temperature on growth, hemato‐biochemical parameters in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus acclimatized to three temperatures (31°C, 34°C and 37°C) for 60 days. Additionally, erythrocytic cellular abnormalities (ECA) and erythrocytic nuclear abnormalities (ENA) tests were assayed using peripheral erythrocytes after exposure to the three temperatures. Fish were sacrificed on days 7, 15, 30 and 60 of exposure. Growth performances viz., weight gain, % weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) showed decreasing tendency at 34°C but significantly declined at 37°C compared to 31°C. The abundance of haemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cells (RBCs) significantly decreased in response to temperature increases, while white blood cells (WBCs) displayed the opposite response. At days 7 and 15, blood glucose levels significantly increased in response to the temperature increase, while at days 30 and 60 glucose declined. Frequencies of ECA and ENA were significantly enhanced at the highest temperature throughout the experimental period. Dissolved oxygen decreased and free CO2 increased significantly with increasing temperature throughout the study period. The present study revealed that temperatures higher than 34°C may be hazardous to O. niloticus.

Growth in ectotherm vertebrates is strongly rhythmed by seasonal variation in environmental parameters. To track the seasonal variation in ancient times in a continental and tropical context, we aim to develop a method based on the use of the growth rate of fossil ectotherm vertebrates (actinopterygians and chelonians) influenced by seasonal environmental fluctuations they experienced in their lifetime. However, the impact of environmental parameters on growth, positive or negative, and its intensity, depends on the taxa considered, and data are scarce for tropical species. For 1 year, an experiment was conducted to better understand the effect of seasonal variation in environmental parameters (food abundance, temperature, and photoperiod) on the somatic growth rate of three species of tropical freshwater ectotherm vertebrates: the fishes Polypterus senegalus and Auchenoglanis occidentalis and the turtle Pelusios castaneus. Mimicking seasonal shifts expected to be experienced by the animals in the wild, the experiment highlighted the preponderant effect of food abundance on the growth rate of those three species. Water temperature variation had a significant effect on the growth rate of Po. senegalus and Pe. castaneus. Moreover, the photoperiod demonstrated no significant effect on the growth of the three species. The duration of application of starvation or cool water conditions, ranging from 1 to 3 months, did not affect the growth rate of the animals. However, Pelusios castaneus showed a temporary sensitivity to the return of ad libitum feeding or of warm water, after a period of starvation or cool water, by a period of compensatory growth. Finally, this experiment revealed, in the three species, fluctuations in the growth rate under controlled and constant conditions. This variation, similar to the variation in precipitation and temperature observed in their native environment, could be linked to a strong effect of an internal rhythm controlling somatic growth rate.
