“…The LC50 for salinity obtained in our study is difficult to compare with other reports, mainly because most studies tested long term effects of high salinity using gradual acclimatation protocols (Lemarié et al, 2004). The LC50 in our study (salinity of 19.5) is close to the 18 of found by Suresh & Lin (1992) for the same species, when directly tested at different salinities. Our results from the salinity stress test showed that the highest mortality occurred in larvae from the H3 group, which is a genetically manipulated broodstock that yields 98-100% males after crossing YY "supermales" with XX normal females (Mair et al, 1997).…”

ABSTRACT.Our objective was to assess the quality of eggs and juvenile of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from broodstock of three commercial hatcheries (H1, H2, and H3). Larval weight was significantly higher for H2 and H3 hatcheries (P < 0.05). After 45-day growth, weight of juveniles of H2 was higher, while specific growth rate was significantly higher for H1 and H2 (P < 0.05). After the ammonia stress test, no significant differences in mortality were found among larvae from the three hatcheries, although a positive relationship between carbohydrate content in eggs and juvenile mortality was observed (P < 0.05). After the salinity stress test, the lowest and highest mortality (P < 0.05) occurred respectively in tilapia larvae from the H1 (24.2%) and H3 (57.8%) hatcheries. We concluded that egg quality was not affected by tilapia broodstock from the three hatcheries studied, but differences were obtained for growth performance, carbohydrate content, and survival of juveniles when exposed to the salinity stress test. These three indexes should be considered as potential juvenile quality criteria for tilapia.

“…Salinity effects have been studied in several species of fish in ponds, tanks, raceways and cages (Cruz et al 1990;Watanabe et al 1990). Fluctuation of salinity is very pronounced in tropics where the climate is characterized by wet and dry seasons (Suresh and Lin 1992;Boyd and Tucker 1998). In Western Australia, salinity in farm ponds fluctuates from less than 0.5 % in the wet season to over 3 % in dry season (Boyd and Tucker 1998).…”

Response of a freshwater air-breathing fish, Clarias batrachus to salinity stress: an experimental case for their farming in brackishwater areas in Andaman, India

The study was conducted to assess the effects of salinity on growth and biochemical composition of freshwater catfish, Clarias batrachus. A static nonrenewable acute toxicity bioassay test was conducted and LC 50 of salinity for 96-h exposure to the fingerling (14.5 cm) was 12.52 %. Based on these results, two sublethal salinity levels, viz. 4 and 8 % were selected to study the long-term effects of salinity on C. batrachus for a period of 90 days. From the study, it was found that growth and survival rate were less in saline water (4 and 8 %). Maximum growth and survival were recorded in freshwater (0 % salinity) and subsequently at 4 and 8 %. To assess the biochemical alteration, few important biomarkers were estimated. At the end of 90 days rearing period, glucose level in the brain and blood of C. batrachus was found to decrease with salinity. The level of liver and muscle glycogen in the fish reared at 4 % was lower than that of control. Ascorbic acid in all organs under study was found to decrease with increasing salinity, which was attributed to stress mitigation effect of vitamin C. Acetylcholine esterase (AchE) activity recorded a gradual decrease with increasing salinity. Metabolic enzymes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and adenosine triphosphosphtase (ATPase) activity also reduced both in liver and muscle tissues with increasing salinity. From the present investigation, it can be concluded that exposure to higher salinity significantly (P \ 0.01) affects the growth and physiological response of Clarias batrachus.

Small but tough: What can ecophysiology of croaking gourami Trichopsis vittata (Cuvier, 1831) tell us about invasiveness of non-native fishes in Florida?

Trichopsis vittata (Cuvier, 1831) is a small, freshwater gourami (Fam: Osphronemidae) native to southeast Asia. It was first detected in Florida in the 1970s and seems to have persisted for decades in a small area. In this study, we documented T. vittata's ecophysiological tolerances (salinity and low-temperature) and qualitatively compared them to published values for other sympatric non-native species that have successfully invaded much of the Florida peninsula. Trichopsis vittata survived acute salinity shifts to 16 psu and was able to survive up to 20 psu when salinity was raised more slowly (5 psu per week). In a cold-tolerance experiment, temperature was lowered from 24 °C at 1 °C hr -1 until fish died. Mean temperature at death (i.e., lower lethal limit) was 7.2 °C. Trichopsis vittata seems as tolerant or more tolerant than many other sympatric non-native fishes for the variables we examined. However, T. vittata is the only species that has not dispersed since its introduction. Species other than T. vittata have broadly invaded ranges, many of which include the entire lower third of the Florida peninsula. It is possible that tolerance to environmental parameters serves as a filter for establishment, wherein candidate species must possess the ability to survive abiotic extremes as a first step. However, a species' ability to expand its geographic range may ultimately rely on a secondary set of criteria including biotic interactions and life-history variables.
