Cadmium uptake was studied in isolated adrenocortical cells of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and yellow perch (Perca flavescens) to test the hypothesis that the greater sensitivity of trout cells to Cd-induced disruption of cortisol secretion observed in previous studies is correlated to higher level of metal accumulation. There was no evidence for interspecies differences in accumulation level, and a specific transport mechanism of similar affinity has been characterized in both fish species. However, inhibition of Cd uptake by calcium was observed in rainbow trout exclusively. The free metal ion Cd(2+) and chlorocomplexes CdCl(n)(2-n) both contribute to Cd accumulation with different level of contribution between fish species. We conclude that interspecies differences in sensitivity to Cd endocrine disrupting effect are not necessarily related to different levels of metal accumulation but would rather be linked to transport pathways and metal speciation. Cadmium/calcium competition for uptake could be a determinant of the early Cd-induced impaired cortisol secretion in trout but not perch cells.

Sous vide, a cooking method that involves vacuum-sealed fish at low temperatures, yields a uniquely tender, easily flaked texture. Previous research on sous-vide tenderization has focused on thermal protein denaturation. On the other hand, the contribution of proteases, activated at low temperatures in fish meat, has been suggested.

The use of fish rest raw material for the production of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) through enzymatic hydrolysis has received significant interest in recent decades. Peptides derived from fish proteins are known for their enhanced bioactivity which is mainly influenced by their molecular weight. Studies have shown that novel technologies, such as high-pressure processing (HPP), can effectively modify protein structures leading to increased biological activity.

A new antioxidant lipid (AL) was synthesized from rainbow trout () belly oil and cold-pressed maqui (CPM) ( (Mol.) Stuntz) seed oil via enzymatic interesterification using in supercritical CO medium. A Box-Behnken design with 15 experiments was employed, with the independent variables being the following: belly oil/CPM oil ratio (10/90, 50/50, and 90/10, /), supercritical CO temperature (40.

In this study, chitosan (C)-polyvinyl alcohol (P) edible film containing bio-fabricated nanosilver particles (nAg) (as antimicrobial agent) and beetroot peel extract (BRPE) (as antioxidant agent and pH indicator) was used as spoilage indicator in cold-stored rainbow trout fillets. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity (43.02%), reducing power (2.

Rainbow trout () is a promising cultivable fish species with significant potential for expansion. As a cold-water fish belonging to the Salmonidae family, it requires an optimal temperature range of 10-15°C for optimal growth. This study explores a method for producing sterile rainbow trout with maximum survival rates by using heat shock treatment to enhance growth characteristics and improve aquaculture practices.
