This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triploid fish could be beneficial to aquaculture sustainability due to their effective sterility preventing escaped farmed fish from mating with wild fish. However, experience to date has suggested that they are less tolerant of environmental stressors. The goal of this study was therefore to determine whether acclimation to warm temperature improves the performance of both diploid and triploid brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) under conditions of high temperature and hypoxia. A preliminary experiment tested fish of both ploidies acclimated to two different temperatures (15 and 18°C) at a range of test temperatures (ambient, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30°C) to determine the oxygen tension (PO2) at loss of equilibrium and time taken to reach loss of equilibrium, during progressive hypoxia. A follow-up experiment involved first acclimating fish to the same two temperatures and then reacclimating the 18°C fish to 15°C before using the same protocol to test hypoxia tolerance at a narrower range of temperatures (ambient, 24, 26, 28, 30°C). Warm acclimation (18°C) improved high temperature and hypoxia tolerance in both ploidies, but this improvement did not last after reacclimation to cooler temperatures. Triploids had slightly lower hypoxia tolerance in both experiments. This study shows that (1) while increasing acclimation temperature improves tolerance of fish regardless of ploidy in high temperature and hypoxic conditions, the effect is not long-lasting, and (2) the difference in tolerance between ploidies may not be great enough for triploids to have a negative impact on the aquaculture industry and instead should be used to minimize negative impacts caused by farmed salmon mating with wild populations of Atlantic salmon. However, further research needs to be done to optimize this approach for use in the aquaculture industry.

Book excerpt: Focusing on pathobiology and protective strategies against protozoan and metazoan parasites of fish, this book reviews the latest research on important parasites: those that cause financial hardships to the aquaculture industry, have been introduced to new geographical regions through transportation of infected fish, are pathogenic to groups of finfish and detrimental to production, are highly adaptable and not host-specific with worldwide distributions, and that may serve as disease models for studies on other pathogens. It also highlights gaps in the knowledge to help direct future research.
Download or read book Vertebrate Red Blood Cells written by Mikko Nikinmaa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the respiratory function of vertebrate red cells. I have defined the phrase "respiratory function" broadly to include, in addition to the actual oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, erythropoiesis, haemoglobin synthesis, red cell structure, the deformability of red cells in circulation, ion and substrate transport across the cell membrane, cellular metabolism, and control of cellular volume and pH. All of these aspects of the red cell function may affect gas transport between the respiratory epithelia and the tissues. Throughout the book, I have tried to relate our current knowledge about the nucleated red cell function to the wealth of information about the function of mammalian red cells. However, whenever possible, I have placed the emphasis on the nucleated red cell function for two reasons. First, the erythro cytes of 90% of vertebrate species are nucleated, and, second, nucleated red cell function has not been reviewed earlier in a single volume. This being the case, I have tried to make the reference list as complete as I could with regard to nucleated red cells. I hope that the approach adopted is useful for both com parative and human physiologists. Many people have contributed to the making of this book directly or in directly. Antti Soivio started me in this field. Prof. Henrik Wallgren has always encouraged fresh scientific ideas in his department. My present ideas of red cell function have been influenced by work carried out with Prof. Roy E.

Book excerpt: Biology of Stress in Fish: Fish Physiology provides a general understanding on the topic of stress biology, including most of the recent advances in the field. The book starts with a general discussion of stress, providing answers to issues such as its definition, the nature of the physiological stress response, and the factors that affect the stress response. It also considers the biotic and abiotic factors that cause variation in the stress response, how the stress response is generated and controlled, its effect on physiological and organismic function and performance, and applied assessment of stress, animal welfare, and stress as related to model species. Provides the definitive reference on stress in fish as written by world-renowned experts in the field Includes the most recent advances and up-to-date thinking about the causes of stress in fish, their implications, and how to minimize the negative effects Considers the biotic and abiotic factors that cause variation in the stress response

This book was released on 1998 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identification of protozoan parasites in animal tissues is often difficult and confusing. The purpose of this atlas is to create a single reference containing illustrations of the numerous species of protozoans and their stages as they appear within infected tissues. This atlas provides 257 color photographs of these organisms, as well as 36 color photomicrographs of fungi, prepared by techniques that best identify them. It also includes simplified life-cycle drawings as well as brief descriptions of the parasites, hosts, transmission, and pathogenesis. This second edition includes minor textual changes and profound enhancement of the color photographs. The illustrations in this atlas represent the most common stages under optimal conditions for identification. This atlas is intended as an aid for students, teachers, diagnosticians and researchers by facilitating identification of protozoan parasites of animals.
