“…Across all groups, only the group C fish could maintain over 3200 lg/l concentration of streptomycin in serum over 8 h. When compared with the group D Clarias gariepinus which were the control, the comparatively higher level of streptomycin in group C serum might be strongly influenced by better absorption associated with enteritis. This phenomenon may have been responsible for the observation made by Oladele et al (2011b) when severe mortality in Clarias gariepinus was brought under control after a 10-day therapy with streptomycin at a comparatively lower dosage of 20 mg/kg via medicated feed.…”

Most bacteria causing fish diseases in Nigeria have been observed to be susceptible to aminoglycosides like streptomycin. However, route of administration for effective therapy has been a challenge due to the reported poor intestinal absorption, hence a need to study its kinetics.Clarias gariepinus were divided into four groups of 14 fish each. Fish in A were Staphylococcus aureus-infected while those in B were uninfected and both received streptomycin by bath at 70 mg/l, while it was 70 mg/kg via gastric gavage for groups C which were Staphylococcus aureus-infected and D which were uninfected. Blood and tissue collection was done between 1 and 120 h post exposure to streptomycin. Samples were analyzed by ELISA, while some portions of tissues of infected fish were fixed for histopathology.Sum of area under curve values for serum and kidney (AUC 0-8h ) were 5876.5 lg h/l and 399,287 lg h/kg; 4519.3 lg h/l and 183,474 lg h/kg; 27,771.2 lg h/l and 82,539 lg h/kg; as well as 18,768.4 lg h/l and 33,252.5 lg h/kg respectively for groups A, B, C and D. Microscopically the lesions were localized and extensive hepatic coagulative necrosis with diffuse tubular necrosis.Possible systemic therapeutic value is suggested, depending on increased distribution of streptomycin and levels of streptomycin in kidneys of diseased fish at corresponding times being higher than in sera. ª 2014 National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.

“…The changes in some serum biochemical indices of farmed Clarias gariepinus caused by stress due to exposure to environmental pollutants, pathogen challenge, or nutritional toxicities have been reported (Onusiruke and Ufodike, 2000;Oladele et al, 2011;Adeyemo et al, 2016). According to Lio-po and Lim (2002) more data is needed for monitoring of managements and or therapeutic interventions in the culture of this fish species.…”

The monitoring of health in fish farms partly relies on the availability of exact serum biochemistry reference intervals as these data provides a base for the interpretation of tests to assess health status. Serum biochemistry reference intervals for Clarias gariepinus cultured in earthen pond system was established following evaluations of two hundred and forty healthy fish sampled across eight farms. Other results include Lactate dehydrogenase 28.06-54.03 mg/dl in juveniles and Urea 1.96-4.11 mg/dl in juvenile fish. These data will serve as a tool for the monitoring of health and nutritional condition of Clarias gariepinus farmed in ponds at the Southern Guinea Savanna agro-ecological zone of Nigeria.
