Abstract:

Selenium (Se) and many of its compounds are among the most toxic micronutrients. Therefore, determining the optimal level of selenium in the diet of fish is one of the main concerns of researchers. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of Sel-Plex® (Selenium-enriched Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast) on blood biochemical parameters in juvenile Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii, as clinical biomarkers to evaluate the effects of selenium on the health of fish. In this study, fish were fed diets supplemented with 0 (control), 5, 10 and 15 g Sel-Plex per Kg feed for 8 weeks. Although a significant (p<0.05) decrease was observed in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in fish fed with 15 g Sel-Plex supplement, plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities were significantly higher (p<0.05) than the control fish. The results showed that administration of 10 and 15 g Sel-Plex supplement in fish significantly (p<0.05) increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activities. Administration of Sel-Plex significantly (p<0.05) decreased glucose, albumin, cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. The results revealed that Sel-Plex significantly increased (p<0.05) globulin concentrations in the supplemented groups compared with the control group. Decreased total protein concentrations were only observed in fish fed with 5 g Sel-Plex. The results of this study show that diets containing high concentrations of Sel-Plex (10 g and 15 g) produced serious toxic effects, including changes in blood biochemical parameters.

Effects of dietary Sel-Plex supplement on growth performance, hematological and immunological parameters in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869)

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...

Comparison of growth and hematological parameters in juvenile Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus) and its hybrid (Acipenser ruthenus ♀ × Acipenser baerii ♂)

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...

Oxygen consumption and swimming behavior of juvenile Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii during stepped velocity tests

Oxygen consumption rate (MO2) and critical swimming speed (Ucrit) of juvenile Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii were measured at 24°C using a step-wise velocity test in a flume-type respirometer. Swimming behavior was video-recorded before and after the swimming experiment in a respirometer and an open tank. The relationship between MO2 and swimming speed (U) can be accurately described by a p...

Bioaccumulation of copper nanoparticle in gill, liver, intestine and muscle of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) juvenile

Copper (Cu) is an essential element required by all living organisms, since at least 30 enzymes are known to use Cu as a cofactor. Cu is also toxic in excess and liver and gills are known to be target organs for it. In the present study, 240 Siberian sturgeon juvenile (with initial weight 29.2 ± 3.1 g and initial length 21.8 ± 1.4 cm) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks at 4 differ...
