“…The sensitivity of sturgeon to these stressful conditions has been reported previously (Belanger et al, 2001;Eslamloo & Falahatkar, 2014). The cortisol reference range of Chinese sturgeon was 449.73-1437.95 pg/mL, which was lower than that reported in other sturgeon species, such as juvenile great sturgeon (3.17-40.00 ng/mL) and hybrid sturgeon (24-41 ng/mL) (Bani et al, 2009;Di Marco et al, 2011) Eslami et al, 2022;Eslamloo et al, 2012;Yousefi et al, 2020). The RIs for mucous TP (0.29-2.16 g/L) reported in this study were generally consistent with the range of values reported in Persian sturgeon studies (1.5-1.75 g/L) (Yousefi et al, 2020).…”

“…To our knowledge, no data exist on biochemical parameters in the mucus of Chinese sturgeon. Comparable baseline values of mucous immune, stress response, and organ function parameters have been established for sturgeon species such as beluga sturgeon ( H. huso ), Siberian sturgeon ( A. baerii ), and Persian sturgeon ( A. persicus ) (Eslami et al, 2022; Eslamloo et al, 2012; Yousefi et al, 2020). The RIs for mucous TP (0.29–2.16 g/L) reported in this study were generally consistent with the range of values reported in Persian sturgeon studies (1.5–1.75 g/L) (Yousefi et al, 2020).…”

“…In the present study, the reported RI for mucous LYZ activity was 0.09–4.19 U/L in adult Chinese sturgeon. The skin mucous LYZ activity was 20–25 U/mL in beluga juveniles fed a dietary ethanolic extract of propolis and 8–12 U/mL in Siberian sturgeon fed LF‐supplemented diets (Eslami et al, 2022; Eslamloo et al, 2012). Changes in enzyme activity are also thought to be related to the thickness of the skin epidermis and the number of mucous cells (Fast et al, 2002).…”

“…To our knowledge, data on biochemical parameters in sturgeon mucus were extremely limited. We discovered some indicators in beluga sturgeon (Huso huso), Siberian sturgeon (A. baerii), and Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) (Eslami et al, 2022;Eslamloo et al, 2012;Yousefi et al, 2020). The use of clinical pathology as a diagnostic adjunct for Chinese sturgeon was hampered by the lack of reliable and standardized data on reference ranges for biochemical tests.…”

The Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) is a critically endangered aquatic fish. Health monitoring and welfare assessments are critical for the conservation of Chinese sturgeon. In this study, biochemical parameters of serum and skin mucus in Chinese sturgeon were examined to evaluate the potential biomarkers. Serum and mucous samples were obtained from Chinese sturgeon, and the levels of total protein (TP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), lactic acid (LD), acid phosphatase (ACP), lysozyme (LYZ), glucose (GLU), and cortisol were determined. The concentrations of ALT, AST, cortisol, and LYZ were significantly higher in the mucous group than those in the serum group (p < 0.05). In addition, the concentrations of ALP, ACP, LD, LDH, CK, and TP were significantly higher level in the serum group than those in the mucous group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the correlations between serum and mucous biochemical parameters were established. Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between serum and skin mucous markers (ACP, cortisol, and LYZ). AST versus ALT in serum and mucus showed a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01). A significant positive correlation was found between cortisol and CK in mucus (p < 0.01). Moreover, LD versus LDH in serum showed a significant but weak positive correlation (p < 0.01). Principal component analysis revealed a complete separation between the serum and mucous groups, with the biomarkers that contributed the most being ALP, TP, ALT, and AST. This study provides baseline data and reference intervals for serum and mucous biochemical parameters in presumably healthy Chinese sturgeons. The current study has important implications for the development of conservation strategies and the conservation status of critically endangered species.

“…Bacterial cells were centrifuged and suspended in sterile PBS and adjusted to an optical density of 0.5 at 546 nm. The diluted bacterial suspension was mixed with serum homogenates for incubation at 37°C for 1 h. After incubation, the number of viable bacterial cells was counted (Eslami et al, 2022).…”

Fucoidan with its excellent biological activities such as growth promotion, antioxidant and strong immunity, is widely used in animal production. The present study was conducted to investigate the influences of feeding fucoidan on growth performance, biochemical indices, immunity, the antibacterial ability of plasma, the digestive enzyme activity of the intestine, antioxidant capacity, and the histological structure of liver in juvenile common carp. Five experimental diets added with 0 (Diet 1), 500 (Diet 2), 1,000 (Diet 3), 1,500 (Diet 4), and 2,000 (Diet 5) mg/kg fucoidan were fed to triplicate groups of 30 fish (35.83 ± 0.24 g) respectively for 8 weeks. The results showed that fish fed diets with a fucoidan supplementation of 1,666.67–1,757 mg/kg might have the best growth performance (p< 0.05). The levels of plasma total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) in Diet 3, Diet 4, and Diet 5 were higher than those in Diet 1 and Diet 2 (p< 0.05). Moreover, the contents of plasma C3, LYZ, and IgM; the antibacterial ability of serum; and the activity of SOD, CAT, POD, and GPX in the liver, and ACP, AKP, LPS, AMS, and TRY in the intestine significantly improved; the contents of LPO and MDA in the liver were notably decreased in diets with fucoidan supplement (p< 0.05). Furthermore, the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and the contents of total bilirubin (TB) and glucose (Glu) in Diet 5 were the highest among the groups. Meanwhile, proinflammatory factors (plasma IL-6 and IL-1β) had a higher expression, but anti-inflammatory factors (plasma IL-1) had a lower expression in Diet 5 (p > 0.05). It indicated that a higher dose (2,000 mg/kg) of fucoidan may induce inflammation and metabolic disorders. Interestingly, histological results of liver also indicated that dietary fucoidan intake in certain amounts (500–1,500 mg/kg) could ameliorate hepatic morphology, but the high dosage (2,000 mg/kg) probably damaged the liver. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on the application of fucoidan as a functional additive to juvenile common carp. The results of the present study can be used to guide the application of fucoidan in healthy aquaculture and can further reveal the effect and mechanism of fucoidan on the nutritional physiology of aquatic animals.
