Brief AC electroshock caused significant elevations in plasma cortisol, glucose, osmolality, and chloride levels in rainbow trout within 15 min, but plasma protein was reduced at 3 h. Circulating granulocytes had declined by 15 min, but other haematological features remained unchanged. Thus, AC electrofishing would not be suitable for monitoring physiological conditions in trout if short delays are encountered before blood is sampled. 1996 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
