چکیده
Oxidative stress, biochemical and enzymological biomarkers were compared among rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), brown trout, Salmo trutta (L.), and grayling, Thymallus thymallus (L.) to determine the mechanisms of hepatotoxicity caused by chloramine-T bath treatment. The fish were exposed to chloramine-T at a concentration of 9 g m for 20 min three times daily every three days. The control groups of fish, which were not exposed, were handled in the same way as the chloramine-T treatment groups. Chloramine-T treatment varies among fish species; for example, such treatment baths markedly decrease the carbonyl derivate levels of oxidative protein and aminotransferase activities, the elevation of which is a compensatory mechanism for impaired metabolism, but only in rainbow trout livers. No significant changes were noted in oxidative stress biomarkers between the control and chloramine-treated brown trout groups. Grayling chloramine-T exposure resulted in significant elevation in severe oxidative stress biomarker levels. Increased carbonyl derivates of oxidative protein can modify aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase activity and lactate and pyruvate levels, all of which cause primarily increased enzyme activity because of oxidative stress in the livers of the chloramine-exposed fish. The present study indicates that chloramine-T at a dose of 9 g m can partially attenuate oxidative stress, and can be used for the prophylactic treatment of rainbow and brown trout.

Occurrence of intersex in wild freshwater fish in Slovenian rivers: a histological evaluation.
The aim of this preliminary research was to establish if there are intersex occurrences in wild freshwater fish in Slovenian rivers and streams. In the first study we evaluated all fish species of both sexes obtained from the river Ljubljanica from its source to mouth. In the second study we focused on the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta m. fario) males from 30...
متن کاملTemperature-induced sex reversal is not responsible for sex-ratio distortions in grayling Thymallus thymallus or brown trout Salmo trutta.
On the basis of the experiments carried out over various years, it was concluded that (1) grayling Thymallus thymallus and brown trout Salmo trutta are resistant to temperature-induced sex reversal at ecologically relevant temperatures, (2) environmental sex reversal is unlikely to cause the persistent sex ratio distortion observed in at least one of the study populations and (3) sex-specific t...

Conserving iteroparous fish stocks in regulated rivers: the need for a broader perspective!
Hydroelectric dams and weirs often represent barriers for a wide range of migratory fish species and may cause population fragmentation (Jungwirth 1998; Lucas & Baras 2001; Heggenes & Roed 2006). In general, the migratory system of diadromous fishes requires both upand downstream migrations during the life cycle. Anadromous and potamodromous fish, such as Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., brown ...
متن کاملSeasonal Change in Trophic Niche of Adfluvial Arctic Grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and Coexisting Fishes in a High-Elevation Lake System
Introduction of non-native species is a leading threat to global aquatic biodiversity. Competition between native and non-native species is often influenced by changes in suitable habitat or food availability. We investigated diet breadth and degree of trophic niche overlap for a fish assemblage of native and non-native species inhabiting a shallow, high elevation lake system. This assemblage i...
