Acute stress response in triploid rainbow trout
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to determine whether triploid salmonid fishes differ from diploids in their hematological and physiological responses to an acute handling and confinement stress, induced by netting fish from their tanks and placing them in a bucket. Blood samples were Ž . collected from fish prior to the handling stress and at either 30 min rainbow trout or 20 and 40 Ž . min brook trout confinement in the bucket. Plasma cortisol, glucose and chloride levels, Ž hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, total blood cell concentrations erythrocytes and leuco. cytes , and differential leucocyte concentrations and their relative proportions were measured. As expected, resting blood cell concentrations were significantly lower in triploids than in diploids. In all other respects, triploids showed little difference from diploids in either values prior to the stress or in changes in these values induced by the acute stress. Both diploids and triploids showed a marked stress-induced increase in hematocrit and plasma cortisol and glucose, accompanied by a decrease in lymphocyte concentrations. Other values showed minimal or no change resulting from the stress. Triploid salmonid fishes therefore appear to exhibit a typical acute stress response, as has been well described for diploids. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect 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...

Sexual maturation of rainbow trout during production has a negative effect on the slaughter yields and flesh quality. Induction of triploidy is a method to prevent the development of fertile trout. In many investigations sexually mature triploid and diploid rainbow trout had been compared. In the present study the slaughter characteristics and flesh quality of female immature diploid and triplo...
متن کاملAdult triploids in a rainbow trout family.
Six triploid individuals were found in a full-sib family of 11 adult rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) from a domesticated hatchery stock. The triploid individuals were normal in size and external appearance, had underdeveloped gonads, and showed no evidence of 3n/2n chimerism or mosaicism. XXY triploids were males, suggesting that the Y chromosome is male determining in trout. Because they may a...

This work shows that the atypical erythrocytes in triploid rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were morphologically similar to those of toads. The nuclei of the cells can be bell-shaped, constricted or irregular. It is presumed that such nuclear division is probably amitosis.
