The goal of this study was to determine the osmoregulatory ability of a juvenile marine fish, silver moony (Monodactylus argenteus), for the purpose of developing a new experimental species for ecophysiological research. In this study, M. argenteus was acclimated to freshwater (FW), brackish water (BW), or seawater (SW). The salinity tolerance of this euryhaline species was effective, and the fish survived well upon osmotic challenges. The largest apical surface of mitochondrion-rich cells was found in the FW individuals. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that Na(+), K(+)-ATPase immunoreactive (NKA-IR) cells were distributed in the interlamellar region of the gill filaments of the silver moony in all experimental groups. In addition to the filaments, NKA-IR cells were also found in the lamellae of the FW individuals. The number of NKA-IR cells in the gills of the FW individuals exceeded that of the BW and SW individuals. The NKA-IR cells of FW and SW individuals exhibited bigger size than that of BW fish. The NKA activities and protein expression of the NKA α-subunit in the gills of the FW individuals were significantly higher than in the BW and SW groups. Additionally, the relative amounts of Na(+), K(+), 2Cl(-) cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) were salinity-dependent in the gills. Immunofluorescent signals of NKCC1 were localized to the basolateral membrane of NKA-IR cells in all groups. In the gills of the FW individuals, however, some NKA-IR cells did not exhibit a basolateral NKCC1 signal. In conclusion, the present study illustrated the osmoregulatory mechanisms of this easy- and economic-to-rear marine teleost with euryhaline capacity and proved the silver moony to be a good experimental animal. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to elucidate the osmoregulatory ability of the fish pearl spot (Etroplus suratensis) to know the scope of this species for aquaculture under various salinities. Juvenile pearl spot were divided into three groups and acclimated to freshwater (FW), brackish water (BW) or seawater (SW) for 15 days. The fish exhibited effective salinity tolerance under osmotic challenges. Although the plasma osmolality and Na+, K+ and Cl? levels increased with the increasing salinities, the parameters remained within the physiological range. The muscle water contents were constant among FW-, BW- and SW-acclimated fish. Two Na+/K+-ATPase α-isoforms (NKA α) were expressed in gills during acclimation in FW, BW and SW. Abundance of one isoform was up-regulated in response to seawater acclimation, suggesting its role in ion secretion similar to NKA α1b, while expression of another isoform was simultaneously up-regulated in response to both FW and SW acclimation, suggesting the presence of isoforms switching phenomenon during acclimation to different salinities. Nevertheless, NKA enzyme activities in the gills of the SW and FW individuals were higher (p < 0.05) than in BW counterparts. Immunohistochemistry revealed that Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactive (NKA-IR) cells were mainly distributed in the interlamellar region of the gill filaments in FW groups and in the apical portion of the filaments in BW and SW groups. The number of NKA-IR cells in the gills of the FW-acclimated fish was almost similar to that of SW individuals, which exceeded that of the BW individuals. The NKA-IR cells of BW and SW were bigger in size than their FW counterparts. Besides, the relative abundance of branchial Na+/K+/2Cl? co-transporter showed stronger evidence in favor of involvement of this protein in hypo-osmoregulation, requiring ion secretion by the chloride cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the wide salinity tolerance of E. suratensis involving differential activation of ion transporters and thereby suggesting its potential as candidate for fish farming under different external salinities. 相似文献

The mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) naturally inhabits freshwater (FW; 1–3‰) and seawater (SW; 28–33‰) ponds in constructed wetland. To explore the physiological status and molecular mechanisms for salinity adaptation of the mosquitofish, cytoprotective responses and osmoregulation were examined. In the field study, activation of protein quality control (PQC) mechanism through upregulation of the abundance of heat shock protein (HSP) 90 and 70 and ubiquitin-conjugated proteins was found in the mosquitofish gills from SW pond compared to the individuals of FW pond. The levels of aggregated proteins in mosquitofish gills had no significant difference between FW and SW ponds. Furthermore, the osmoregulatory responses revealed that the body fluid osmolality and muscle water contents of the mosquitofish from two ponds were maintained within a physiological range while branchial Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) expression was higher in the individuals from SW than FW ponds. Subsequently, to further clarify whether the cellular stress responses and osmoregulation were mainly induced by hypertonicity, a laboratory salinity acclimation experiment was conducted. The results from the laboratory experiment were similar to the field study. Branchial PQC as well as NKA responses were induced by SW acclimation compared to FW-acclimated individuals. Taken together, induction of gill PQC and NKA responses implied that SW represents an osmotic stress for mosquitofish. Activation of PQC was suggested to provide an osmoprotection to prevent the accumulation of aggregated proteins. Moreover, an increase in branchial NKA responses for osmoregulatory adjustment was required for the physiological homeostasis of body fluid osmolality and muscle water content. 相似文献

Sensory characteristics and nutritional value of red drum Sciaenops ocellatus reared in freshwater and seawater conditions 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 This study compares sensory attributes, chemical composition, fatty acid profiles, and the taste of raw and cooked red drum Sciaenops ocellatus fillets, reared in seawater (SW) and in freshwater (FW) aquaculture systems. Significant nutritional differences were found in the raw fillets. The total lipid was higher (5.31%) in FW fish than the SW (2.60%). The ratio n‐3/n‐6 and EPA/DHA was higher in SW than FW fillets. The eicosenoic acid was only present in FW fillets. DHA was dominant in SW specimens, contrary to the arachidonic acid level, which was dominant in FW fillets. The assessors perceived a significant difference in the firmness and colour of raw fillets, but its odour intensity was not affected. Fillets from SW fish have higher acceptability (33.3%) than FW fillets (26.4%). Sensory differences in raw fillet were not correlated with consumer perceptions, as cooked fish was considered to have similar flavour, independent of its origin. 相似文献

Heretofore few quantitative studies on the tolerance of red drum (Sciaenops ocellata Linnaeus) to freshwater (FW) or dilute sea water have been conducted. In the laboratory we subjected larval and juvenile stages of red drum to dechlorinated FW for 96 hours and found 5% survival in larvae (23-day-old, 6.2 mm SL), 70% for postlarvae (34 and 47-day-old, 16.2 mm to 19.7 mm SL) and 95% for juveniles (57-day-old, 56.9 mm SL). Survival in control salinities of 10 ppt was 90% or greater. The results indicate that tolerance to dilute media is size dependent. In a separate experiment growth of juvenile red drum (52 mm SL) over a 30-day period was compared in two raceways with flow-through supplies of dechlorinated FW, and SW of ambient (35±2 ppt) salinity. SW fish grew significantly larger (P < .01) than those acclimated to FW. Within both treatments a large size differential developed with time. Food conversion efficiency was improved and appetite drive was enhanced in the SW treatment. Percent survival after 30 days was comparably high (93%) in both treatments. Fast growth and high survival of juvenile (>20 mm SL) red drum promote the feasibility of this valuable sport and commercial species in both FW and SW aquaculture. Its potential as a control fish in FW fishery management deserves further investigation. 相似文献

In salmonids, growth hormone (GH) effectively promotes adaptation of freshwater (FW) fish to seawater (SW), but it has been
unclear whether GH has osmoregulatory actions apart from those consequent to an increase in body size. Our objectives were
first, to examine the minimum time and dose required for GH to enhance SW adaptation; and second, to optimize the conditions
for the acute GH response in developing a convenient GH bioassay based on its plasma ion lowering effect. Trout showed markedly
improved SW survival when transferred from fresh water 6, 24, or 48h after a single chum salmon GH injection (0.25 μg/g).
Preadapting trout to 1/3 SW enhanced the plasma ion lowering effect of ovine GH (oGH) injected 48h before transfer of the
fish to 80% SW. Endogenous plasma GH levels were elevated in control trout switched from low salinities to 80% SW but were
depressed in oGH-injected fish after transfer. Under optimal test conditions (1/3 SW preadaptation, 48h pre-transfer injection,
and 100% SW final challenge), the reduction in plasma Na+, Ca++, and Mg++ levels of oGH-injected fish was dose-dependent. The oGH doses giving minimum and maximum responses were 50 and 200 ng/g,
respectively. In short, GH exerts acute osmoregulatory actions that promote SW adaptation in the absence of changes in body
size. Compared with growth GH bioassays, the osmoregulatory assay is superior in economy of time, animal costs, and hormone
quantity required and potentially in specificity. 相似文献

Opposite patterns of branchial Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) responses were found in euryhaline milkfish (Chanos chanos) and pufferfish (Tetraodon nigroviridis) upon salinity challenge. Because the electrochemical gradient established by NKA is thought to be the driving force for
transcellular Cl− transport in fish gills, the aim of this study was to explore whether the differential patterns of NKA responses found in
milkfish and pufferfish would lead to distinct distribution of Cl− transporters in their gill epithelial cells indicating different Cl− transport mechanisms. In this study, immunolocalization of various Cl− transport proteins, including Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter (NKCC), cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), anion exchanger 1 (AE1), and chloride channel
3 (ClC-3), were double stained with NKA, the basolateral marker of branchial mitochondrion-rich cells (MRCs), to reveal the
localization of these transporter proteins in gill MRC of FW- or SW-acclimated milkfish and pufferfish. Confocal microscopic
observations showed that the localization of these transport proteins in the gill MRCs of the two studied species were similar.
However, the number of gill NKA-immunoreactive (IR) cells in milkfish and pufferfish exhibited to vary with environmental
salinities. An increase in the number of NKA-IR cells should lead to the elevation of NKA activity in FW milkfish and SW pufferfish.
Taken together, the opposite branchial NKA responses observed in milkfish and pufferfish upon salinity challenge could be
attributed to alterations in the number of NKA-IR cells. Furthermore, the localization of these Cl− transporters in gill MRCs of the two studied species was identical. It depicted the two studied euryhaline species possess
the similar Cl− transport mechanisms in gills. 相似文献

Growth hormone (GH) effectively promotes seawater (SW) adaptation in salmonids, but little is known of its effect in tilapias. Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of recombinant eel GH (reGH) on osmoregulatory actions and ultrastructural features of gill chloride cells in juvenile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Tilapia showed a markedly improved SW survival, when directly transferred from freshwater (FW) to 62.5% SW 24h after a single reGH injection (0.25 or 2.5 µg g-1) or 3 reGH injections (0.25 µg g-1 every other day). Plasma Na+ and Mg2+ levels were significantly reduced by reGH (0.25 and 2.5 µg g-1) compared with saline injections; Ca2+ concentrations were reduced significantly by high dose of reGH (2.5 µg g-1) after SW transfer. However, fish failed to survive more than 24h when directly transferred to 70% SW, although the fish treated with reGH could survive longer than the controls. When examined by electron microscopy, the chloride cells were identified as mitochondrion-rich and an extensive tubular system was induced by GH treatment. The results of the present study suggest that, similar to its effect on salmonids, GH also exerts acute osmoregulatory actions and enhances SW adaptation in juvenile tilapia. GH also stimulates the differentiation of chloride cells toward SW adaptation. 相似文献

The syndrome known as gastric dilation air sacculitis (GDAS) has previously been shown to affect Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, in seawater (SW) aquaculture. Feed and osmoregulatory stress have been implicated as potential epidemiological co-factors. The development and physiology of GDAS was investigated in SW and freshwater (FW) adapted smolts. Diet A (low-cohesion pellets) and diet B (high-cohesion pellets) were fed to both FW- and SW-adapted fish. GDAS was induced only in the SW trial on feeding diet A. Stimulated gastro-intestinal (GI) smooth muscle contractility, and fluid transport by the pyloric caeca were different in GDAS-affected fish, which also showed osmoregulatory dysfunction. Cardiac stomach (CS) smooth muscle contractility in response to acetylcholine and potassium chloride (KCl) was significantly reduced in fish fed diet A relative to controls from weeks 3-5. In contrast, maximal pyloric sphincter (PS) circular smooth muscle contraction in response to KCl was significantly elevated in fish fed diet A in weeks 4 and 5. Serum osmolality was elevated in GDAS-affected fish from week 2 of the SW trial. Fluid transport from the mucosal to serosal surface of isolated pyloric caeca was significantly reduced in weeks 3, 4 and 5 in SW fish fed diet A. Gastric evacuation from the stomach of healthy fish was shown to be significantly different when diets of low- and high-cohesion were fed. The results are consistent with the intestinal brake playing a role in the development of the disease. 相似文献

Morphological changes in gill mitochondria-rich (MR) cells were examined in cultured Japanese eel acclimated to deionized
freshwater (DFW), freshwater (FW), 30%-diluted seawater (DSW), and seawater (SW). The gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity was higher in SW-acclimated eel than in those acclimated to DFW, FW, and DSW. Immunocytochemical observations
revealed that MR cells in the gill filaments were most developed in SW, whereas MR cells in the lamellae were preferentially
observed in DFW, suggesting that filament and lamellar MR cells are responsible for ion secretion and absorption, respectively.
In scanning electron microscopic observations, the apical membrane of lamellar MR cells appeared as a flat or slightly projecting
disk with a mesh-like structure on its surface. In contrast, the apical membrane of filament MR cells showed a slightly concave
surface. Whole-mount immunocytochemistry revealed that most MR cells showed cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
immunoreaction in their apical region in fish in DSW and SW, but not in those in DFW and FW, indicating that MR cells developed
in DSW and SW function as an ion-secreting site. In addition to MR cells, distinct Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreaction was observed in the outermost layer of gill epithelia, suggesting that pavement cells are an additional
site of ion uptake in the gills. 相似文献

Several experiments were performed to investigate the physiology of seawater acclimation in the striped bass, Morone saxatilis. Transfer of fish from fresh water (FW) to seawater (SW; 31–32 ppt) induced only a minimal disturbance of osmotic homeostasis.
Ambient salinity did not affect plasma thyroxine, but plasma cortisol remained elevated for 24h after SW transfer. Gill and
opercular membrane chloride cell density and Na+,K+-ATPase activity were relatively high and unaffected by salinity. Average chloride cell size, however, was slightly increased
(16%) in SW-acclimated fish. Gill succinate dehydrogenase activity was higher in SW-acclimated fish than in FW fish. Kidney
Na+, K+-ATPase activity was slightly lower (16%) in SW fish than in FW fish. Posterior intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity and water transport capacity (Jv) did not change upon SW transfer, whereas middle intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity increased 35% after transfer and was correlated with an increase in Jv (110%). As salinity induced only minor changes in the osmoregulatory organs examined, it is proposed that the intrinsic euryhalinity
of the striped bass may be related to a high degree of “preparedness” for hypoosmoregulation that is uncommon among teleosts
studied to data. 相似文献

The effect of cortisol on osmoregulatory parameters was studied in rainbow trout, (Salmo gairdneri), kept in freshwater (FW) and/or transferred to seawater (SW). Repeated injections of 20 μg cortisol/g fish stimulated gill
and gut Na+/K+-ATPase activity and reduced plasma Na+ and Cl− levels after 2 weeks of treatment in FW-adapted fish. Cortisol doses of 0.05 and 1.0 μg/g were without effect. Repeated injections
of 10 μg cortisol/g stimulated gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity and reduced plasma Na+ and Cl− levels in fish in FW, and significantly improved ion regulation after their transfer to 28SW. Higher doses of cortisol (10
and 20 μg/g) induced hyperglycemia, whereas low doses (0.05 and 1.0 μg/g were without effect or induced hypoglycemia. Plasma
glucose levels decreased in cortisol-treated fish transferred to SW, whereas transient hyperglycemia was seen in the control
fish. 相似文献

Impact of osmoregulation on plasma sex steroid levels and gonadal histo‐architecture was monitored to elucidate the effects of deviation from habitat salinity on gonadal recrudescence in an active reproductive season of an euryhaline fish Etroplus suratensis (pearlspot). Fish were maintained in three different salinities of 0 ppt Fresh Water (FW), 15 ppt Brackish Water (BW) and 30 ppt Sea Water (SW) for a period of 60 days. Plasma osmolality values were found to be significantly highest in SW‐acclimated fish accompanied by highest levels of plasma K? and Cl¯ ions. The progress of gonadal recrudescence was higher in BW followed by FW and SW as evident from the cellular features of gonads and increased level of plasma sex steroids, such as, in case of female and 11‐keto Testosterone and Testosterone in case of males. Plasma cortisol levels were comparatively higher in fish of both sexes in SW group. Significantly high levels of cortisol in SW suggest its role in hypo‐osmoregulation and associated stress. This study clearly reveals that salinity changes during the active reproductive phase can suppress the steroid‐mediated gonad recrudescence maximally under hypo‐osmoregulation in an euryhaline fish. 相似文献

The effects of ovine prolactin (oPRL) on osmoregulatory ability (electrolyte balance, plasma osmolality and activity of gill chloride cells and gill Na+/K+‐ATPase) and stress responses (plasma cortisol, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase: AST and alanine aminotransferase: ALT) were investigated in black porgy transferred to freshwater (FW). Fish in seawater (SW) were injected twice at a 24 h interval with oPRL (at 1, 3, or 5 μg g–1 body weight) or vehicle (0.9% NaCl) and then transferred to FW. They were sampled 3 days after the transfer. With oPRL at 5 μg g–1, levels of plasma Na+ and Cl? and osmolality were significantly higher than in saline‐treated fish, whereas gill CCs number and Na+/K+‐ATPase activity were lower. Also, the 5 μg g–1oPRL treatment led to significantly lower plasma cortisol levels than did saline treatment. However, there were no significant differences in plasma AST and ALT between groups. These results support the positive osmoregulatory role of PRL in black porgy during FW adaptation. 相似文献

Abiotic factors like salinity are relevant to survival of pelagic fishes of the San Francisco Bay Estuary. We tested the effects of 4 parts per thousand (ppt) salinity increases on Delta Smelt (DS) in a laboratory experiment simulating salinity increases that might occur around the low-salinity zone (LSZ) (<6 ppt). Adult DS, fed 2 % body mass per day, starting at 0.5 ppt [freshwater (FW)], were exposed to weekly step-increases of 4 ppt to a maximum of 10 ppt saltwater (SW) over 19 days, and compared to FW controls. DS (n = 12/treatment per sampling) were sampled at 24, 72, and 96 h (1, 3, and 4 days) post-salinity increase for analyses of hematocrit, plasma osmolality, muscle water content, gill chloride cell (CC) Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) and apoptosis after being weighed and measured (n = 3 tanks per treatment). No apparent increase in length or weight occurred nor did a difference in survival. Following step-increases in SW, hematocrit increased over time. Other fish responses generally showed a pattern; specifically plasma osmolality became elevated at 1 day and diminished over 4 days in SW. Percent muscle water content (%) did not show significant changes. CCs showed increased NKA, cell size and apoptosis over time in SW, indicating that CCs turnover in DS. The cell renewal process takes days, at least over 19 days. In summary, DS are affected by salinities of the LSZ and ≤10 ppt, though they employ physiological strategies to acclimate. 相似文献

Cortisol-induced changes in oxygen consumption and ionic regulation in coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) parr 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The influence of cortisol on oxygen consumption and osmoregulatory variables was examined in coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) parr kept in fresh water (FW) and transferred to seawater (SW). Intraperitoneal implants containing cortisol (50 g g–1) in vegetable oil resulted in elevated plasma cortisol titres similar to those observed in fish following a 24h SW exposure. Cortisol treatment significantly increased the oxygen consumption and plasma glucose levels of trout in FW, consistent with the glucocorticoid role of cortisol. Cortisol treatment did not cause any changes in plasma ion concentrations or gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity in FW after 10 days. Cortisol-implanted fish exposed to SW for 24h showed slightly improved ion regulatory ability compare to non-implanted controls. The results of this study suggest that during SW transfer in juvenile salmonids, increases in cortisol may act as both a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid, depending on the developmental state of the fish (e.g., smolt versus parr). Furthermore, the relative energetic costs of osmoregulation and that of the stress associated SW transfer cannot be discerned using whole-animal oxygen consumption rates. 相似文献
