“…Of the six species whose stress response was measured in the present study, O. mykiss has been best described previously. The baseline and stress-induced levels of plasma cortisol, glucose, lactate and total amino acids observed in O. mykiss during the present study are similar to those reported for fish exposed to broadly similar stressors (Pottinger & Carrick, 1999b, 2000Wagner et al, 2002;Trenzado et al, 2003;Momoda et al, 2007;Weber & Silverstein, 2007;Cairns et al, 2008;Fernandes-de-Castilho et al, 2008;Gesto et al, 2008). For S. trutta, fewer data are available for comparison, but the data presented here are again largely consistent with earlier results (Pickering et al, 1982(Pickering et al, , 1986Norris et al, 1999;Ruane et al, 1999).…”
