The Arctic is warming three times faster than the global average, imposing challenges to cold-adapted fish, such as Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus). We evaluated stress and metabolic responses of Arctic char to different thermal acclimation scenarios to determine whether responses to thermal variation differed from those to stable exposures. Fish were exposed for 7 days to one of four treatments: (1) control (12°C); (2) mean (16°C), corresponding to the mean temperature of the diel thermal cycle; (3) constant high temperature (20°C); and (4) diel thermal cycling (12 to 20°C every 24 h).

Diel fluctuations of oxygen levels characterize cyclic hypoxia and pose a significant challenge to wild fish populations. Although recent research has been conducted on the effects of hypoxia and reoxygenation, mechanisms by which fish acclimatize to cyclic hypoxia remain unclear, especially in hypoxia-sensitive species. We hypothesized that acclimation to cyclic hypoxia requires a downregulation of aerobic metabolic rate and an upregulation of mitochondrial respiratory capacities to mitigate constraints on aerobic metabolism and the elevated risk of oxidative stress upon reoxygenation.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate biomarkers of oxidative stress (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, aldehyde and ketone derivatives of oxidatively modified proteins and total antioxidant capacity), the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase), that of lysosomal enzymes (alanyl aminopeptidase, leucyl aminopeptidase, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase and acid phosphatase) and changes in biochemical parameters (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, de Ritis ratio, lactate dehydrogenase activity, lactate and pyruvate levels and their ratio) in the liver tissue of fish that were vaccinated against enteric redmouth disease and challenged with its causative agent, the bacterium .

Material And Methods: The vaccine was administered orally to trout, some of which were challenged with 61 days later. For comparison, unvaccinated and unchallenged trout and unvaccinated and challenged trout were also evaluated.

Aggregation is a fundamental feature of parasite distribution in the host population, but the biological implications of the aggregation indices used to describe the relationships between the populations of parasites and hosts are not evident. It is speculated that the form of distribution in each case is predicated on the host's varying resistance to the infection, which is hard to control, making it difficult to adequately interpret the index values. This paper examines several cases from trout farms in Russian Karelia to explore the monogenean Gyrodactylus spp.

Universidad Andres Bello, Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida, Departamento de Ciencias Biológicas, 8370146 Santiago, Chile; Interdisciplinary Center for Aquaculture Research (INCAR), 4030000 Concepción, Chile. Electronic address:

Cortisol hormone is considered the main corticosteroid in fish stress, acting through glucocorticoid (GR) or mineralocorticoid (MR) receptor. The 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) corticosteroid is also secreted during stress and could complement the cortisol effects, but this still not fully understood. Hence, we evaluated the early transcriptomic response of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver by DOC through GR or MR.

Transglutaminase mediates the hardening of fish egg envelope produced by duplication of factor XIIIA gene during the evolution of Teleostei.

J Biochem

December 2024

Department of Materials and Life Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Sophia University, 7-1 Kioi-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102-8554, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The egg hardening process during fish fertilization is driven by an enzyme called transglutaminase (hTGase), which undergoes processing after fertilization.
  • Researchers isolated a specific version of this enzyme (Rt-hTGase) from rainbow trout eggs, finding that the unprocessed form is 80 kDa and the processed form is 55 kDa, both sharing similar amino acid sequences.
  • The study indicates that the C-terminal processing of Rt-hTGase does not enhance its activity, but it may enable better interaction with egg envelope proteins, facilitating the hardening process.

The aim of this study was to simulate microwave heating characteristics to investigate the lipid quality in rainbow trout, including the impact of the heating rate, maximum temperature, and thermal processing level on the extent of lipid oxidation and on the fatty acid extraction coefficient. Increasing F from 3 to 6 min improved fatty acid retention at high heating rates but led to a decrease in the measured results at low heating rates. Elevated thermal processing levels and maximum temperatures were observed to intensify the oxidation.

Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology (URBE), Institute of Life Earth and Environment, University of Namur, 61 Rue de Bruxelles, B-5000, Namur, Belgium.

Understanding the environmental impact of nanoparticle (NP) mixtures is essential to accurately assess the risk they represent for aquatic ecosystems. However, although the toxicity of individual NPs has been extensively studied, information regarding the toxicity of combined NPs is still comparatively rather scarce. Hence, this research aimed to investigate the individual and combined toxicity mechanisms of two widely consumed nanoparticles, zinc oxide (ZnO NPs) and titanium dioxide (TiO NPs), using an in vitro model, the RTgill-W1 rainbow trout gill epithelial cell line.

Increasing evidence shows that larger fish are more vulnerable to acute warming than smaller individuals of the same species. This size-dependency of thermal tolerance has been ascribed to differences in aerobic performance, largely owing to a decline in oxygen supply relative to demand. To shed light on these ideas, we examined metabolic allometry in 130 rainbow trout ranging from 12 to 358 g under control conditions (17°C) and in response to acute heating (to 25°C), with and without supplemental oxygen (100% versus 150% air saturation).

Bioenergetics models are powerful tools used to address a range of questions in fish biology. However, these models are rarely informed by free-swimming activity data, introducing error. To quantify the costs of activity in free-swimming fish, calibrations produced from standardized laboratory trials can be applied to estimate energy expenditure from sensor data for specific tags and species.

Fine-scale movement response of juvenile brown trout to hydropeaking.

Sci Total Environ

November 2024

Institute of Environmental Engineering, Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, ETH Zurich, Laura-Hezner-Weg 7, Zurich 8093, Switzerland.

Juvenile fish are known to be the most impacted during hydropeaking events due to stranding or uncontrolled drift resulting from changes to water depth and flow velocity. To shed light on their response to such hydraulic alterations, we coupled flume experiments with image-based fish tracking and quantified the fine-scale movement behavior of wild (n = 30) and hatchery-reared (n = 38) brown trout (Salmo trutta) parr. We exposed fish to two distinct hydropeaking treatments in a laterally inclined (14 %) flume section stocked with real cobbles to create refuge and heterogeneous hydraulic conditions.

This study aimed to develop a double-layer film composed of an intelligent, gelatin-based film integrated with active polyvinyl alcohol electrospun nanofibers (PVANFs). Eggplant skin extract (ESE), a colorimetric indicator, was incorporated into the gelatin-based film at varying concentrations ranging from 0 % to 8 % w/w. The gelatin film containing 8 % ESE was identified as the optimal formulation based on its superior color indication, water barrier, and mechanical properties.
