This study investigated the effects of a drop in water temperature (18 °C to 9 °C in 24 h) on the pituitary and interrenal hormones of the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata. The in vitro sensitivity of the interrenal tissue to ACTH, plasma levels of cortisol, ACTH, -MSH, GH, glucose, lactate and ions were determined. In vitro ACTH, stimulated the release of cortisol from isolated interrenal glands from control gilthead sea bream in a concentration dependent fashion. However, the interrenal cells were less sensitive to ACTH as soon as 24 h following the onset of the temperature drop. At this time, plasma cortisol and ACTH levels were raised, and plasma GH concentrations were decreased, whereas no significant changes were found in plasma -MSH. After 96 h plasma ACTH levels had recovered whereas plasma cortisol levels were still higher than controls after 8 days of the beginning of the experiment. Interrenal sensitivity had recovered after 8 days. The results may help to clarify the relationship between the stress response and the aetiology of the winter syndrome in sea bream. 相似文献

This study investigates the effect of corticosteroid (cortisol) administration on the stress response of the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata subjected to a 48 h confinement. The effect of (in-vitro and in-vivo ) cortisol administration on the in-vitro ACTH sensitivity of the interrenal tissue; the plasma levels and tissue concentration of cortisol; and the plasma levels of ACTH, -MSH, -endorphin and glucose were determined. Confinement caused a transient and concomitant increase in plasma cortisol and ACTH levels. However, in cortisol-fed fish the plasma ACTH levels were lower, indicating a suppresion of the ACTH release from the corticotropes by cortisol. In contrast to the activation of the corticotropes, the levels of plasma melanotrope derived peptides were not affected. In spite of the fact that interrenal cells of cortisol-fed gilthead sea bream released less cortisol than controls, the interrenal sensitivity to ACTH was not affected by in-vivo and in-vitro cortisol administration. This suggests that the interrenal sensitivity to ACTH in stressed (confinement) sea bream is probably not regulated by -MSH, N-ac--END, or by cortisol. Thus, in gilthead sea bream the interrenal sensitivity to ACTH could be regulated at the hypothalamus and/or pituitary and communicated via circulating ACTH levels. 相似文献

Several experiments were performed to investigate the physiology of seawater acclimation in the striped bass, Morone saxatilis. Transfer of fish from fresh water (FW) to seawater (SW; 31–32 ppt) induced only a minimal disturbance of osmotic homeostasis.
Ambient salinity did not affect plasma thyroxine, but plasma cortisol remained elevated for 24h after SW transfer. Gill and
opercular membrane chloride cell density and Na+,K+-ATPase activity were relatively high and unaffected by salinity. Average chloride cell size, however, was slightly increased
(16%) in SW-acclimated fish. Gill succinate dehydrogenase activity was higher in SW-acclimated fish than in FW fish. Kidney
Na+, K+-ATPase activity was slightly lower (16%) in SW fish than in FW fish. Posterior intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity and water transport capacity (Jv) did not change upon SW transfer, whereas middle intestinal Na+,K+-ATPase activity increased 35% after transfer and was correlated with an increase in Jv (110%). As salinity induced only minor changes in the osmoregulatory organs examined, it is proposed that the intrinsic euryhalinity
of the striped bass may be related to a high degree of “preparedness” for hypoosmoregulation that is uncommon among teleosts
studied to data. 相似文献

The present study elucidates the relationship between deep-hole MR cells (Lee et al. 1996) and salinity adaptation in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Freshwater tilapia were transferred to salt water of various salinities, i.e., 5 (hypotonic), 10 (isotonic), 20 (hypertonic), and 30 (hypertonic), for 2 weeks. The density of MR cells, protein content, activity, and localization of the sodium pump were examined. There was no significant difference in serum osmolarity and Na+, K+, Cl– levels in fish of the various treatment groups. The amounts of protein and activity of Na,K-ATPase were elevated in fish from SW with the highest salinity. MR cells observed by scanning electron microscope revealed small pits (0.5–1.0 m in diameter) in groups from hypotonic and isotonic water and large crypts (2.4–3.8 m in diameter) in fish from hypertonic water. Moreover, the density of these deep-hole MR cells increased significantly in fish adapted to hypertonic SW. Larger and more numerous deep-hole MR cells of euryhaline tilapia may account for higher protein amounts and activities of Na,K-ATPase, probably to meet the physiological demand of euryhaline teleosts engaged in hyporegulation. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to determine the effects of supplemental dietary sodium chloride on salt water acclimation of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Fish were fed a basal diet supplemented with NaCl (8%) during three weeks in fresh water (FW) and then transferred to salt water (SW) at 15 and 20. Changes in plasma osmolality, chloride ion concentration (Cl–), plasma level of cortisol and gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity were measured at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 h after transfer to 15SW, while the higher strength SW group (20) was only monitored up to 24 h. Morphological changes in the gill mitochondria-rich (MR) cells were examined in relation to environmental salinity. The changes associated with dietary NaCl were sporadic and of small magnitude. The plasma osmolality and Cl– increased immediately after transfer up to 12–24 h, but fish fed dietary salt (S) showed lower values than the control group (C). The S group showed higher plasma levels of cortisol than the control, which maintained its initial levels during the experiment. Gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity of the S group began to increase in the first hours after transfer, reaching maximum at 12 h and returned to basal level at 24 h, while the control group maintained basal levels. The differences between gill Na+, K+-ATPase activity of S and C fish were significant (p < 0.05) at 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that MR cells in SW show more mitochondria and a more developed tubular system arising from the basolateral membrane. The MR cells of both groups frequently formed a multicellular complex in SW, consisting of a main MR and one or more accessory cells. Such complexes are rarely observed in FW. Some MR cells of fish fed supplemented dietary salt displayed convex apical membrane in FW. 相似文献

Three natriuretic peptides with similar structures were isolated from eels and their amino acid sequences determined; atrial
natriuretic peptide (ANP) from atria, ventricular natriuretic peptide (VNP) from ventricles, and C-type natriuretic peptide
(CNP) from brains. All three hormones were circulating in eel blood, and their plasma levels invariably decreased when eels
were transferred from fresh water (FW) to seawater (SW). Eel ANP and VNP inhibited drinking in FW and SW eels. Eel ANP inhibited
water and Na+ absorption by the intestine of SW eels. The potency of these ANP effects was 2–3 orders greater than those of other hormones
which are known to have similar effects. Eel ANP and VNP induced antidiuresis but not antinatriuresis in FW eels. Eel ANP
increased plasma cortisol level in SW eels but not in FW eels. The antidiuretic effect and the stimulation of cortisol secretion
in eels are opposite to the ANP effects reported in mammals. These data suggest that ANP plays a complex role in the eel osmoregulation.
Résumé Trois peptides natriurétiques présentant des structures similaires ont été isolés chez l'anguille et leurs séquences en acides aminés a été déterminées; le peptide atrial natriurétique (ANP) dans l'atria, le peptide ventriculaire natriurétique (VNP) dans les ventricules et le peptide natriurétique de type C dans le cerveau. Ces trois hormones sont présents dans le sang d'anguille et leur niveau plasmatique decroit invariablement quand les anguilles sont transférées d'eau douce en eau de mer. L'ANP et le VNP d'anguille inhibent l'action de boire chez les anguilles d'eau douce et d'eau de mer. L'ANP d'anguille inhibe l'absorption d'eau et de Na+ par l'intestin d'anguille en eau de mer. Ces effets de l'ANP sont 2 à 3 fois plus grands que ceux observés avec d'autres hormones qui sont connues pour avoir des effets similaires. L'ANP et le VNP d'anguille induisent l'antidiurèse mais pas l'antinatriurèse chez les anguilles d'eau douce. L'ANP d'anguille augmente chez ce poisson les niveaux de cortisol plasmatique en eau de mer mais pas en eau douce. L'effet antidiurétique et la stimulation de la sécrétion de cortisol chez l'anguille sont contraire aux effets de l'ANP observés chez les mammifères. Ces résultats suggèrent que l'ANP joue un role complexe dans l'osmorégulation de l'anguille.相似文献

Cortisol-induced changes in oxygen consumption and ionic regulation in coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) parr 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The influence of cortisol on oxygen consumption and osmoregulatory variables was examined in coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) parr kept in fresh water (FW) and transferred to seawater (SW). Intraperitoneal implants containing cortisol (50 g g–1) in vegetable oil resulted in elevated plasma cortisol titres similar to those observed in fish following a 24h SW exposure. Cortisol treatment significantly increased the oxygen consumption and plasma glucose levels of trout in FW, consistent with the glucocorticoid role of cortisol. Cortisol treatment did not cause any changes in plasma ion concentrations or gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity in FW after 10 days. Cortisol-implanted fish exposed to SW for 24h showed slightly improved ion regulatory ability compare to non-implanted controls. The results of this study suggest that during SW transfer in juvenile salmonids, increases in cortisol may act as both a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid, depending on the developmental state of the fish (e.g., smolt versus parr). Furthermore, the relative energetic costs of osmoregulation and that of the stress associated SW transfer cannot be discerned using whole-animal oxygen consumption rates. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined the long-term effects of environmental salinity, diet (35% and 25% crude protein) and 17-methyltestosterone (MT) on corresponding levels of pituitary and serum growth hormone (GH) and prolactins (tPRL177 and tPRL188) in the tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). We observed no discernible patterns in serum GH that would suggest an effect of salinity, diet or MT. However, serum GH levels in all treatments declined at 1 and 3h after first feeding. Serum tPRL177 and tPRL188 were significantly higher in freshwater (FW) than in seawater (SW) and levels were significantly affected by dietary protein. tPRL177 levels were higher in all groups fed a 35% protein diet, but tPRL188 levels were higher only in the groups fed the MT-treated 35% protein diet; only serum tPRL188 levels were affected by MT. Moreover, serum tPRL177 and tPRL188 increased throughout the sampling time-course. Subsequent work using fasted tilapia suggests that first feeding is likely to initiate the post-prandial suppression of serum GH levels. In contrast with the picture observed in blood, pituitary glands of SW animals showed higher levels of GH than FW fish. Pituitary GH was elevated by MT in both FW and SW. We also observed that pituitary tPRL177 and tPRL188 levels were higher in FW fish than in SW fish; tPRL177 and tPRL188 levels were elevated by MT only in FW animals. To assess the somatomedin activity of plasma from FW- and SW-reared tilapia, we measured [35S]-sulfate incorporation into ceratobranchial cartilage explants in vitro. Plasma from SW-adapted tilapia showed greater activity in this assay than plasma from FW-reared tilapia, suggesting that the GH-dependent IGF bioactivity of plasma is higher in SW-reared tilapia. Collectively, these studies suggest that the growth-promoting actions of SW rearing and of MT administration in tilapia may be linked to elevations in GH and/or prolactin (tPRL177 and tPRL188)levels. 相似文献

Relationships between insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and thyroxine (T4) and cortisol hormones were studied in female
brood stocks of Persian sturgeon [Acipenser persicus; caught from both sea water (SW) and fresh water (FW)] during late stages of sex maturation. A number of biometrical traits
were also studied that could represent the reproductive and/or growth states of brood stocks, and the possible relationship
between IGF-I and growth was assessed in juvenile Persian sturgeons between 1 and 4 years of age. IGF-I, T4 and cortisol were
measured in serum samples using commercially available kits. A four-parameter logistic model test was performed between the
standard curves and the sample dilutions for each hormone. Parallelism, linearity and regression coefficients for the linearized
standard curves and serial dilutions of samples were not significantly different (P < 0.05). Serum IGF-I levels in the juveniles were higher than those in the SW brood stocks, and cortisol levels in the former
were lower than those in both brood stocks (P < 0.05). T4 levels in serum samples of juveniles were below the detectable level. IGF-I concentrations in juveniles were
correlated with total weight, total length and fork length, but they did not increase significantly with increasing age from
1 to 4 years old (P < 0.05). Compared with SW brood stock, the FW brood stock was younger, had a smaller girth, smaller polarization index and
higher ova diameter (P < 0.05). There were no differences between IGF-I and T4 levels in the two brood stocks, but cortisol levels were significantly
higher in the FW brood stock. Percentage of fertilization was correlated with serum IGF-I in both brood stocks (P < 0.05). Our results support a role for IGF-I during the juvenile growth and reproductive physiology in female brood stocks
of the Persian sturgeon. 相似文献

Impact of osmoregulation on plasma sex steroid levels and gonadal histo‐architecture was monitored to elucidate the effects of deviation from habitat salinity on gonadal recrudescence in an active reproductive season of an euryhaline fish Etroplus suratensis (pearlspot). Fish were maintained in three different salinities of 0 ppt Fresh Water (FW), 15 ppt Brackish Water (BW) and 30 ppt Sea Water (SW) for a period of 60 days. Plasma osmolality values were found to be significantly highest in SW‐acclimated fish accompanied by highest levels of plasma K? and Cl¯ ions. The progress of gonadal recrudescence was higher in BW followed by FW and SW as evident from the cellular features of gonads and increased level of plasma sex steroids, such as, in case of female and 11‐keto Testosterone and Testosterone in case of males. Plasma cortisol levels were comparatively higher in fish of both sexes in SW group. Significantly high levels of cortisol in SW suggest its role in hypo‐osmoregulation and associated stress. This study clearly reveals that salinity changes during the active reproductive phase can suppress the steroid‐mediated gonad recrudescence maximally under hypo‐osmoregulation in an euryhaline fish. 相似文献

The regulation of the interrenal of teleostean fishes is reviewed from the perspective of non-classical control mechanisms
and new evidence is presented suggesting gonadotropic control of the interrenal. Cortisol secretion by the interrenal, in
addition to regulation by ACTH, appears to be mediated by other hormones. Physiologically relevant, direct control of interrenal
function by hydromineral factors is unclear.In vitro experiments with interrenals of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) indicate that salmon gonadotropin is extremely corticotropic and both ACTH and gonadotropin stimulate the secretion of large
quantities of androstenedione from the interrenal. 相似文献

Euryhaline tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) can breed either in fresh water (FW) or in seawater, and the developing embryos and larvae withstand direct transfer from FW to SW or vice versa, before the development of osmoregulatory organs. In the study, developmental changes in drinking rate and ion and water permeability were examined after transfer of the embryos from FW to SW. Drinking was measured by accumulation of fluorescent beads in the intestine and also by 14C-dextran accumulation he whole body. The drinking rate increased steadily from 2 to 10 days after hatching, and the larvae in SW consistently imbibed more water than those in FW. The diffusional water permeability remained low during embryonic stages but increased markedly after hatching in both FW and SW; the water permeability was consistently less in SW-adapted embryos and larvae than those in FW. In contrast, the turnover rates of chloride ion in SW were 50 to 100 times greater than those in FW, and increased markedly after hatching. The drinking rate as well as ion and water permeability of the tilapia embryos and larvae in FW and SW were comparable with those reported for stenohaline species. These results clearly indicate that different water and ion regulatory mechanisms are operating in the tilapia embryos and larvae in FW and those in SW to convey their strong euryhalinity. 相似文献

Heretofore few quantitative studies on the tolerance of red drum (Sciaenops ocellata Linnaeus) to freshwater (FW) or dilute sea water have been conducted. In the laboratory we subjected larval and juvenile stages of red drum to dechlorinated FW for 96 hours and found 5% survival in larvae (23-day-old, 6.2 mm SL), 70% for postlarvae (34 and 47-day-old, 16.2 mm to 19.7 mm SL) and 95% for juveniles (57-day-old, 56.9 mm SL). Survival in control salinities of 10 ppt was 90% or greater. The results indicate that tolerance to dilute media is size dependent. In a separate experiment growth of juvenile red drum (52 mm SL) over a 30-day period was compared in two raceways with flow-through supplies of dechlorinated FW, and SW of ambient (35±2 ppt) salinity. SW fish grew significantly larger (P < .01) than those acclimated to FW. Within both treatments a large size differential developed with time. Food conversion efficiency was improved and appetite drive was enhanced in the SW treatment. Percent survival after 30 days was comparably high (93%) in both treatments. Fast growth and high survival of juvenile (>20 mm SL) red drum promote the feasibility of this valuable sport and commercial species in both FW and SW aquaculture. Its potential as a control fish in FW fishery management deserves further investigation. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to elucidate the osmoregulatory ability of the fish pearl spot (Etroplus suratensis) to know the scope of this species for aquaculture under various salinities. Juvenile pearl spot were divided into three groups and acclimated to freshwater (FW), brackish water (BW) or seawater (SW) for 15 days. The fish exhibited effective salinity tolerance under osmotic challenges. Although the plasma osmolality and Na+, K+ and Cl? levels increased with the increasing salinities, the parameters remained within the physiological range. The muscle water contents were constant among FW-, BW- and SW-acclimated fish. Two Na+/K+-ATPase α-isoforms (NKA α) were expressed in gills during acclimation in FW, BW and SW. Abundance of one isoform was up-regulated in response to seawater acclimation, suggesting its role in ion secretion similar to NKA α1b, while expression of another isoform was simultaneously up-regulated in response to both FW and SW acclimation, suggesting the presence of isoforms switching phenomenon during acclimation to different salinities. Nevertheless, NKA enzyme activities in the gills of the SW and FW individuals were higher (p < 0.05) than in BW counterparts. Immunohistochemistry revealed that Na+/K+-ATPase immunoreactive (NKA-IR) cells were mainly distributed in the interlamellar region of the gill filaments in FW groups and in the apical portion of the filaments in BW and SW groups. The number of NKA-IR cells in the gills of the FW-acclimated fish was almost similar to that of SW individuals, which exceeded that of the BW individuals. The NKA-IR cells of BW and SW were bigger in size than their FW counterparts. Besides, the relative abundance of branchial Na+/K+/2Cl? co-transporter showed stronger evidence in favor of involvement of this protein in hypo-osmoregulation, requiring ion secretion by the chloride cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the wide salinity tolerance of E. suratensis involving differential activation of ion transporters and thereby suggesting its potential as candidate for fish farming under different external salinities. 相似文献

Radioimmunoassay measurement of pituitary AVT content and plasma AVT concentration indicated comparable levels in fully adapted sea water (SW) and fresh water (FW) flounders. Circulating AVT represented less than 0.1% of the pituitary AVT reserve. The urophysis contained AVT but the total content was only 2 or 3 fold that of circulating AVT. In fish adapted to hypertonic media, there was a close correlation between plasma AVT concentration and plasma Na+ concentration or osmolality. The present study examined the effects of acute osmotic challenge, associated with FW to SW transfer, and the influence of extracellular fluid volume status on AVT secretion. Short-term transfer of fish from FW to SW (up to 3 days) did not evoke a clear change in plasma AVT levels, though pituitary content was reduced at 24 h. During the first 3 days after transfer to SW, only small increments in plasma tonicity were apparent. The sensitivity of AVT secretion to osmotic stimuli may only be expressed when plasma osmolality has exceeded a specific threshold, which was probably not reached in these transfer studies. Fish in hypotonic media showed no relationship between plasma osmolality/tonicity and plasma AVT concentration. Acute extracellular fluid volume expansion of SW adapted fish also abolished the normally observed relationship between plasma osmolality and AVT concentration in these hypertonic media fish. This trend indicates that volume status may modulate the sensitivity of AVT secretion to osmotic stimuli as occurs in tetrapods. 相似文献

The growth-independent effect of ovine growth hormone (oGH) and oGH + cortisol treatment on seawater (SW) adaptation in immature
rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri was investigated. Fish were injected every second day with saline, 2.0 μg oGH/g or 2.0 μg oGH + 8.0 μg cortisol/g for a maximum
of 8 injections in freshwater (FW). Subgroups were transferred to 28‰ SW after 4 or 8 injections, and changes in plasma Na+ and Cl−, muscle water content and gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity were measured. In both of the hormone-treated groups retained in FW, gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity and interlamellar chloride cell density increased. The effects were most pronounced in the oGH + cortisol
group after 2 weeks of treatment. After transfer to SW most of the control fish died due to the osmotic stress, whereas in
the hormone-treated groups, mortality was low and there was a positive correlation between pretransfer gill Na+/K+-ATPase and the ability to maintain ionic-osmotic homeostasis after SW transfer. After two weeks of oGH + cortisol treatment,
gill Na+/K+-ATPase activity was maximal. In contrast, after SW transfer, Na+/K+-ATPase activity increased further in the oGH-treated group. This group regulated ionic-osmotic parameters less effectively
than the oGH + cortisol-treated group. The data indicate that GH and cortisol are important hormones in the regulation of
hypoosmoregulatory mechanisms in S. gairdneri. 相似文献
