  • effects of acute changes in salinity and temperature on routine metabolism and nitrogen excretion in Gambusia Gambusia affinis and zebrafish danio rerio
    Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology A-molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2010
    Co-Authors: E Uliano, M Cataldi, Francesca Carella, O Migliaccio, D Iaccarino, C Agnisola
    Abstract:

    Abstract Acute stress may affect metabolism and nitrogen excretion as part of the adaptive response that allows animals to face adverse environmental changes. In the present paper the acute effects of different salinities and temperatures on routine metabolism, spontaneous activity and excretion of ammonia and urea were studied in two freshwater fish: Gambusia, Gambusia affinis and zebrafish, Danio rerio , acclimated to 27 °C. The effects on gill morphology were also evaluated. Five salinities (0‰, 10‰, 20‰, 30‰ and 35‰) were tested in Gambusia, while four salinities were used in zebrafish (0‰, 10‰, 20‰ and 25‰). Each salinity acute stress was tested alone or in combination with an acute temperature reduction to 20 °C. In Gambusia, both salinity and temperature acute stress strongly stimulated urea excretion. Routine oxygen consumption was barely affected by acute salinity or temperature stress, and was reduced by the combined effects of temperature and high salinity. Gills maintained their structural integrity in all stressing conditions; hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mitochondria-rich cells were observed. In zebrafish, temperature and salinity acute changes, both alone and in combination, scarcely affected any parameter tested. The major effect observed was a reduction of nitrogen excretion at 20 °C–25‰; under these extreme conditions a significant structural disruption of gills was observed. These results confirm the high tolerance to acute salinity and temperature stress in Gambusia, and demonstrate the involvement of urea excretion modulation in the stress response in this species.

The effects on gill morphology were also evaluated. Five salinities (0 per thousand, 10 per thousand, 20 per thousand, 30 per thousand and 35 per thousand) were tested in Gambusia, while four salinities were used in zebrafish (0 per thousand, 10 per thousand, 20 per thousand and 25 per thousand). Each salinity acute stress was tested alone or in combination with an acute temperature reduction to 20 degrees C. In Gambusia, both salinity and temperature acute stress strongly stimulated urea excretion.

Gills maintained their structural integrity in all stressing conditions; hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mitochondria-rich cells were observed. In zebrafish, temperature and salinity acute changes, both alone and in combination, scarcely affected any parameter tested. The major effect observed was a reduction of nitrogen excretion at 20 degrees C-25 per thousand; under these extreme conditions a significant structural disruption of gills was observed. These results confirm the high tolerance to acute salinity and temperature stress in Gambusia, and demonstrate the involvement of urea excretion modulation in the stress response in this species.
