Thermal Dependence and Acclimation of Fast Start Locomotion and Its Physiological Basis in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
نویسنده
چکیده
Rainbow trout (family Salmonidae, Oncorhynchus mykiss) were acclimated to 5" and 20°C for 4 wk. The acclimatory response of the C-start (fast-escape swimming) and the molecular, biochemical, and contractileproperties of fast-twitch muscle were znvestigated. Withpeptide mapping, no change was noted zn the expression of myosin heavy chains in fast-twitch muscles with thermal acclimation. The myojibrillar ATPase activity of fast-twitch muscle isolated from individuals of each acclimation group was determined at 9 and 20" C. The activity of myojibrillar ATPase was highly temperature dependent (Q,, = 2.9))). Acclimation temperature had no signijicant eflect on ATPase activity measured at 9 or 20" C. The thermal stability of the myojibrillar ATPase, however, was signijcantly increased following a period of acclimation to a higher temperature. Fast-twitch muscle contraction time (force onset to 50% relaxatzon) decreased from 32 rns to 12 ms with an acute change in temperature from 50 to 200 C (Qlo = 1.9). Acclimation to low temperature resulted in only a small increase in twitch contraction speed ( 1 1 %). After specimens were exposed to either 9 or 20" C, C-starts were elicited at both acclimation temperatures. The linear speed (m/s) and angular velocity (degrees/s) attained by the fish at each temperature were both temperature-dependent (Qlo = 1.2). The total distance moved in 40 ms and the angular velocity of t h e w at 20" C increased slightly (24% and I5%, respectively) follozving a period of acclimation to the higher temperature. Acclimation temperature had no statistically significant effect on maximum linear velocity. Thus, trout are capable of only minor acclimatory adjustments in response to exposure to high temperature. Further, it appears that this acclimatory response has not been facilitated by the dzxerential expression of temperature-spec& myojibrillar protein isoforms, as has been previously found in otherpolyploidJish species.

Cold tolerance performance of westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and its potential role in influencing interspecific hybridization
Hybridization between rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)) and westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi (Girard, 1856)) occurs commonly when rainbow trout are introduced into the range of westslope cutthroat trout. Typically, hybridization ismost common inwarmer, lower elevation habitats, butmuch less common in colder, higher elevation habitats. We assessed the tole...
متن کاملEvolutionary and physiological variation in cardiac troponin C in relation to thermal strategies of fish.
Striated muscle contraction is initiated when troponin C (TnC) binds Ca(2+), which activates actinomyosin ATPase. We investigated (i) the variation between cardiac TnC (cTnC) primary structure within teleost fish and (ii) the pattern of TnC expression in response to temperature acclimation. There were few differences between rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares...
متن کاملEffect of thermal stress on some hematological parameters of diploid and triploid Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Temperature fluctuation is one of the most common stressors during fish transportation and aquaculture condition. Triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) get more attention because of its sterility. In this study, 24 rainbow trout belong to diploid and triploid group, average weight 13±0.23 g were subjected to temperature change from 13 to 20 ºC, and kept under tension for 10 min. Before a...
متن کاملCloning and sequencing of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interferon regulatory factor 7
Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle deformation in the lateral muscle of the intact rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss during fast start maneuvers.
Although there is an extensive body of information on the kinematics of the fast start response in teleosts, there is little information on the deformation of the skeletal muscle which produces the changes in body position during a fast start. This study presents preliminary information on the determination of skeletal muscle deformation with implanted ultrasonic dimension gauges in the intact ...
