Effect of 2-phenoxyethanol on the stress responses, hematological parameters and hepatic enzymes in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii)
Authors
Abstract:
The present study examined the effects of various concentrations (0.1-1.1 ml L-1) of 2-phenoxyethanol, an anesthetic agent, on the stress responses, the hematological parameters and the hepatic enzymes in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii; Brandt JF, 1869). The results showed that placing Siberian fish in low concentrations of the drug causes deep anesthesia over a longer period in compared with higher concentration, but the time required for fish recovery significantly decreases. Furthermore, plasma cortisol levels significantly increased (P< 0.05) and decreased (P< 0.05) at low (0.1- 0.5 ml L-1) and high (0.9 and 1.1 mg L-1) concentrations of 2-phenoxyethanol in compared to the control group, respectively. Different concentrations of 2-phenoxyethanol had no effect on the levels of WBC (P> 0.05), but the levels of RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit significantly increased in the concentrations of 0.1 and 0.3 ml L-1 of the drug (P <0.05). It was seen no changes in the ions levels of blood plasma as well as MCV, MCH and MCHC in compared with the control group in the different concentrations of 2-phenoxyethanol (P> 0.05). ALP and AST levels in high concentrations (0.9 and 1.1 ml L-1) of anesthetic agents had not significantly different with the control group, but their values significantly increased at low concentrations of the drug (0.1 and 0.3 ml L-1; P <0.05). In conclusion, these findings show that 2- phenoxyethanol at doses of 0.9 and 1.1ml L-1 is suitable for the anesthetization of Siberian sturgeon because these concentrations have the least effects on the physiological system of fish.

The present study was conducted to compare the growth indices and blood factors of sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus), Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) and their hybrid (Acipenser ruthenus ♀ × Acipenser baerii ♂) to produce a fish with larger size, larger eggs and more tolerant to environmental conditions than the parents. The hybrid was produced by mixing of the oocytes of one sterlet female wit...

Selenium is one of the most essential trace elements in fishes. Therefore, determining the optimal level of selenium in the fish diet is one of the main concerns of researchers. This study investigated the effects of Sel-Plex (Selenium yeast) supplement on the hematological parameters and immunological parameters, and growth performance in Siberian Sturgeon, Acipenser baerii. The Siberian Sturg...

DNA barcoding efforts involving animals have focused on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (Cox1) gene. Some authors suggest that this marker might under-diagnose young species. Herein, we examine Cox1 and control region diversity in a sample of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), a species with an extremely wide geographic distribution in the major rivers of Siberia and in Lake...

In this study, Aloe vera extract was used to evaluate its effects on hematological and immune parameters of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii). A total of 360 Siberian sturgeon weighing on average 10.95±0.04 g were randomly distributed in four treatments including a control group and three experimental groups (each with three replications). A. vera extract powder at the rate of 0.5%, 1% and ...

Sturgeon (family Acipenseridae) are regarded as living fossils due to their ancient origin and exceptionally slow evolution. To extend our knowledge of fish cardiac excitability to a Chondrostei fish, we examined electrophysiological phenotype of the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) heart with recordings of epicardial ECG, intracellular action potentials (APs), and sarcolemmal ion currents....
