This study was designed to compare the activities of sarcoplasmic (SR) Ca2+-ATPase and Ca2+ uptake in fish and mammalian hearts and to determine whether thermal acclimation has any effect on the function of the cardiac SR in fish. To this end, we measured thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+-ATPase activity and thapsigargin-inhibitable Ca2+ uptake velocity in crude cardiac homogenates of newborn and adult rats and of two teleost fish (crucian carp and rainbow trout) acclimated to low (4 degrees C) and high (17 degrees C and 24 degrees C for trout and carp, respectively) ambient temperatures. The TG-sensitive Ca2+-ATPase activity was highest in adult rat, and the corresponding activities of cold-acclimated trout, warm-acclimated trout, warm-acclimated carp, cold-acclimated carp and newborn rat were 76, 58, 43, 28 and 23 %, respectively, of that of the adult rat at 25 degrees C. SR Ca2+ uptake velocity, measured using Fura-2 at room temperature (approximately 22 degrees C), was highest in cold-acclimated trout, and the values for adult rat, warm-acclimated trout, newborn rat, warm-acclimated carp and cold-acclimated carp were 93, 56, 24, 21 and 14 % of the uptake velocity of cold-acclimated trout, respectively. When corrected to the body temperature of the animal, the relative rates of SR Ca2+ uptake were 100, 26, 19, 18, 11 and 2 % for adult rat, newborn rat, cold-acclimated trout, warm-acclimated trout, warm-acclimated carp and cold-acclimated carp, respectively. These findings show that SR Ca2+ uptake is slower in fish than in mammalian hearts and that marked species-specific differences exist among teleost fish in this respect. Furthermore, acclimation to cold increases the Ca2+ uptake rate of trout cardiac SR (complete thermal compensation) but decreases the SR Ca2+ uptake rate of crucian carp heart. This difference in acclimation response probably reflects the different activity patterns of the two species in their natural habitat during the cold season.

Little is known about whether glucocorticoids (GC) and GC responsiveness vary on a diel basis in the wild, especially for fish. Using bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque, 1819) as a model freshwater teleost fish, we tested whether baseline concentration and stress responsiveness of GCs (i.e., plasma glucose and cortisol) varied over a 24 h period. Blood samples from lake-dwelling wild bluegill were obtained across six periods representing a complete circadian cycle to determine GC levels in newly captured fish (i.e., within 3 min of capture; baseline), the maximum value (maximum) 45 min following exposure to a standardized aerial exposure stressor, and determining responsiveness (by subtracting minimum from maximum). Our results revealed that baseline glucose concentration did not vary on a diel basis, whereas baseline cortisol concentration did. Maximum and stress-induced glucose responsiveness varied significantly among several time periods with lowest values recorded at midnight and higher values at mid-day. Maximum and stress-induced cortisol responsiveness were consistent across time periods. Collectively, these data suggest that baseline concentrations and stress-induced values of GCs in a freshwater temperate teleost fish tend to be consistent across diel periods such that there is apparently an absence of strong GC diel patterns.
