“…Water from the middle course of the Jihlava River is under a deeper anthropogenic impact than water from the course of small rills. The anthropogenic impact, such as pollution, could cause a lower rate of oxidative burst (Warinner et al 1988;Dunier and Siwicki 1993). Polluted water affects the phagocytic activity not only by the immunosuppressive substance content but also by a decreasing level of dissolved oxygen.…”

This study compares two fish farms in the Jihlava River basin that differ mainly in the intensity of rearing of the nase fry and in water sources. During rearing, we observed the health condition of fry from hatching to expedition at the age of one year. Four species of parasites (i.e., Ambiphrya ameiuri, Apiosoma piscicolum, Trichodina sp., Diplostomum spathaceum) were found to infest the fish and Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated by bacterial culture. In both breeding facilities the intensity and prevalence of Ambiphrya ameiuri increased during the summer. The state of health and its development including the recognised infections was similar in both farms. Immunological indicators such as differential white cell count, absolute white cell count and the oxidative burst in autumn were evaluated in the fry samples. Although fry from both farms had similar health condition, the results on immunological indicators show that fry from farm I are more exposed to the effects of stressors. In the next phase, we confronted immunological indicators of fry from farm II and brood fish from the Jihlava River. The results show differences in immunological indicators, which could be caused by a variety of stress factors having different effects on the immune system of these two fish categories. The environment affects greatly the immunity of juvenile as well as brood fish. It reflects in the different levels of immunological indicators in the comparison of fry from two farms as well as in the comparison of fry and brood fish from the river.

“…Exposure of trout cells to aluminum or to copper suppressed CL responsiveness to phagocytized bacteria (Elsasser et al, 1986). The phagocytosis-elicited CL response of kidney phagocytes from spot, Leiostomus xanthrus, collected from a river highly polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was negligible compared with the response in cells from spot living in a more pristine site (Warinner et al, 1988). Wishkovsky et al (1989) reported that tributyltin (TBT)…”

This research has been conducted both in-house and extramurally and has involved scientists from other Federal agencies, academic institutions, and the private sector. The need to enhance the integration of the research became increasingly evident as the program grew in the late 1980's. This growth came principally as a result of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers sponsorship of research to develop environmental applications of new, in vivo hazard assessment models for use in the burgeoning Department of Defense environmental remediation program. One of the many uses of these models is to answer the question, "How clean is clean?" and to assist in the establishment of more realistic clean-up goals for hazardous waste sites.An annual research review meeting was undertaken to facilitate the integration and technology transfer of this research program. This publication is the second 14. SUBJECT TERMS Fish, Medaka, Irout, #13.(Continuation) compendium of these meetings.The papers contained in this document are meant to provide the program management staff with an additional means of reviewing the status and progress of extramural and selected in-house studies in the area of new toxicity assessment models. The papers are, therefore, the principal investigators' (PIs') best efforts to characterize the research at the time of the meeting.Some papers cover the results of several years of research and others outline only the planned research of a new project. The data presented and conclusions of the authors represent the best professional judgment of the respective PI at the time of the workshop but are not equivalent to a peer-reviewed report of completed research.

“…They found that copper was particularly effective in reducing macrophage CL, which might explain the observations that copper exposure can predispose fish to infection when challenged with viral (Hetrick et al, 1979) or bacterial (Knittel, 1981) pathogens. Warinner et al (1988) examined the response of kidney phagocytes from control and pollutant-exposed fish.…”
