Seasonal and sex-related variations in serum steroid hormone levels in wild and farmed brown trout Salmo trutta L. in the north-west of Spain

Abstract: Serum steroid profiles were investigated in order to evaluate the potential use of circulating sex steroid levels as a tool for sex identification in brown trout. Changes in the serum concentrations of testosterone (T), progesterone (P), 17-β-estradiol (E2), and cortisol (F) in wild and farmed mature female and male brown trout, Salmo trutta L., were measured in each season (January, May, July, and October) in six rivers and four hatcheries located in the north-west of Spain. Serum cortisol levels in farmed br… Show more

“…Alteration of the circadian rhythmicity occurring when food is continuously available in the hatchery environment can lead to maladaptative activity behavior of hatchery fish into the wild ( Alioravainen et al 2019 ). Finally, differential expression of genes implicated in hormonal production may also directly be related to the individual fitness as a seasonal production of gametes that mismatch the natural hatching period will result in a lower reproductive success ( Fregeneda-Grandes et al 2013 ; Christie et al 2014 ). Altogether, such differential gene expression observed between hatchery and wild fish in different salmonid species and in the absence of apparent genetic differences bring increasing support to the hypothesis that early-life rearing environment could have a significant impact on individual fitness.…”

“…In the case of the cortisol, these results are similar to other studies in S . trutta [ 36 ] where the cortisol levels did not change between sexes during the year. A similar pattern was obtained for the estradiol, another steroid hormone that can directly affect energy metabolism [ 37 ].…”

“…The study of endocrinology in teleost fish has been fundamental for understanding the functional roles of hormones in biological systems. In recent years, the existence of a complex and infinite number of interactions between hormones and nerve structures has been demonstrated [5][6][7][8][9] . Reproduction is one of the most important biological processes of organisms since the survival and perpetuation of the species depend on it 1,10 .…”
