“…The increases in blood glucose concentrations found in the present study reflected the response of anaesthetised fish to metabolic stress. Increases in plasma glucose are mediated by the release of catecholamines, presumably in response to the hypoxia caused by cessation of respiration in anaesthetised fish (Gingerich and Drottar 1989;Iwama et al 1989).…”

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to compare the effect of four anaesthetics on the haematological and blood biochemical profiles of vimba bream (Vimba vimba). The haematological and blood biochemical profiles of vimba bream were evaluated 10 min and 24 h after anaesthesia with MS 222 (100 mg/l), clove oil (33 mg/l), 2-phenoxyethanol (0.4 ml/l), Propiscin (1.0 ml/l) and compared to non-anaesthetised controls. The 10 min exposure to any of the anaesthetics did not show any effects on haematological profiles. The exposure to 2-phenoxyethanol and Propiscin significantly (P < 0.01) influenced levels of glucose and ammonia, and the activity of aspartate aminotransferase compared with the control group. The level of triacylglycerols was significantly (P < 0.01) increased and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase was significantly (P < 0.01) decreased by exposure to MS 222. The use of clove oil showed no effects on the haematological and blood biochemical profiles and is recommended as a suitable anaesthetic for vimba bream. Other anaesthetics tested affected blood biochemical profiles to some extent.

“…transported by the blood) participate in the above mentioned process [28]. Activation of chromaffin system at stress [29,30] leads to fast and sharp (by tenths times) concentration of catecholamines in blood plasma [28,[30][31][32][33][34]. These hormones are responsible for various functions.…”

“…These responses are likely to be a reflection of the oxygen status of the fish. Plasma catecholamines are elevated in response to hypoxia (Mazeaud et al 1977;Ristori and Laurent, 1989;Aota et al 1990;Perry et al 1991;, and this may explain the similar rise caused by chemical stressors such as anaesthetics (Gingerich and Drottar, 1989;Hathaway and Epple, 1989;Iwama et al 1989).…”

“…The three hormones exist in different proportions depending on the species (Mazeaud et al 1977;Mazeaud and Mazeaud, 1981;Folmar, 1993;Pickering, 1993b). The relative amounts of circulating adrenaline and noradrenaline, the main catecholamines involved in fish responses to stress, vary from one species to another (Mazeaud et al 1977;Mazeaud and Mazeaud, 1981;Gingerich and Drottar, 1989;Hathaway and Epple, 1989).…”

“…These physiological indicators have been measured in a range of fish species to evaluate the trauma inflicted on fish by various stressors (Mazeaud et al 1977;Giesy et al 1988;Folmar, 1993;Pickering, 1993a,b). Identifying stress responses can be achieved by determining the changes in plasma catecholamines (Mazeaud et al 1977;Mazeaud and Mazeaud, 1981;Barton, 1988;Tang and Boutilier, 1988;Gingerich and Drottar, 1989;Aota et al 1990) and plasma corticosteroids (Donaldson, 1981;Sumpter et al 1986;Thomas and Rice, 1987;Pickering and Pottinger, 1989;Whitehead and Brown 1989;Waring et al 1992;Foo and Lam, 1993;Mazur and Iwama, 1993;AlKindi et al 1996). These primary (endocrine) responses to stress are more immediate than the induced secondary (metabolic) responses (Barton and Toth, 1980;Mazeaud and Mazeaud, 1981).…”

ABSTRACT:Various endocrine and physiological responses of fish exposed to forceful physical and chemical stimuli are reviewed with emphasis on the effects of crude oils and their hydrocarbon constituents. The chemistry and toxicity of petroleum hydrocarbons are examined and methods for experimental exposure of fish to crude oil and petroleum hydrocarbons are considered. A variety of blood-borne parameters recognized as reliable tools in determining the relative severity of stress in fish are reviewed. The effects of stress and petroleum hydrocarbons on endocrine responses including changes in plasma AL-KINDI, BROWN, and WARING catecholamines, corticosteroids, and thyroid hormones are reviewed. The physiological responses: changes in plasma glucose, osmotic and ionic regulation, blood oxygen, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentration are explored, and histopathological effects of crude oil on fish are reviewed. Recent studies of the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on fish larvae are considered and the increased sensitivity of the early life stages of fish are highlighted.
