Abstract Blood transports lysine and other nutrients derived from the diet and ensures good health and greater productivity for the fish. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the hematological behavior of juvenile tambaqui Colossoma macropomum nourished with levels of 9.72, 12.84, 15.96, 19.08 and 22.20 g.Kg-1 of total lysine, corresponding, respectively, to the supplementation levels with L-lysine: 0.00, 4.00, 8.00, 12.00, 16.00 and 20.00 g.Kg-1 of L-lysine. The blood of the fish was collected in the initial and final periods by puncture of the caudal vein. The variables were validated by ANOVA and Tukey's test (p< 0.05). No differences were found for hemoglobin, hematocrit, CHCM, leukocytes of the eosinophil and monocyte types, and thrombocytes (p> 0.05). The changes observed in total leukocytes were not attributed to diets (p= 0.00). Means of CMV, HCM, lymphocytes and neutrophils, varied over the initial period, but not in regard to different lysine levels (p< 0.05). Thus, it is concluded that the varying lysine levels of the diets did not compromise the hematological parameters analyzed.

One of very important prerequisites for achieving good results in races, in addition to genetic predisposition, quality training and good health, are optimal values for number of erythrocytes, concentration of haemoglobin and hematocrit, of which depends efficient oxygen supply of muscles during great efforts. The stated values, along with data on heart rate, are useful indicators of the degree of horse fitness and readiness for horse race. The influence of physical exertion on the values of basic hematological parameters as well as on heart rate, was investigated on 6 trotters, in training at the Belgrade racetrack (one head of Italian trotter, male, 3 years old; 3 heads of American trotter, male, 3,4 and 6 years old and two heads of Serbian trotter, female, 4 and 5 years old). The blood samples for hematological tests were taken by punction of jugular vein in resting phase - immediately before the commencement of work, after light trot warming for 3000 m and fast trot for 1000 m, with 30 minutes rest between the two runnings. The heart rate was monitored continuously by radio telemetry cardiometer, from the moment they were taken from their boxes and harnessing to the completion of work. The obtained results confirm the relationship between the rise of heart rate and hematocrit values: maximal hematocrit values were determined after the first running (0.49?0.05, in regard to 0.42?0.03 in resting phase), but 30 minutes after the second running there was a slight drop of hematocrit values (0.46?0.04). The blood samples in both cases were taken after fast trot during which there were recorded maximal pulse values, so in the moment of sampling the pulse lowered close to the values in resting - after the first running from 192.23?19.66, and after the second from 180.33?17.22 to 40.67?5.76.

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of the water-soluble fraction of gasoline (WSFG) on the Neotropical freshwater fish Prochilodus lineatus. The WSFG was prepared by mixing gasoline in water (1:4) and animals were exposed for 6, 24 and 96h to 5% diluted WSFG or only to water. After exposure, blood was collected from the caudal vein and the gills were removed. The following parameters were analyzed: hematological (hemoglobin, hematocrit, number of red blood cells), osmo-ionic (plasma Na+, Cl- and K+ and plasma osmolarity), metabolic (total plasma proteins and glucose), endocrine (cortisol), density and distribution of chloride cells [CC] in the gills (immunohistochemistry), and branchial Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) activity. Hemolysis was found to occur after 96h exposure to WSFG, as indicated by the decrease in the hematological parameters analyzed, followed by an increase in plasma K+. Secondary stress response was revealed by the occurrence of hyperglycemia in the three periods of exposure, despite the absence of significant increases in the plasma cortisol. The exposure to WSFG also caused an increase in the quantity of CC and in plasma Na+, after 24h, as well as in the enzymatic activity of NKA and plasma osmolarity, after 24h and 96h. These results indicate that fish exposed to the WSFG showed physiological adjusts to maintain their osmotic balance. However, the increase in the quantity of CC in the lamellae may interfere in the gas exchange impairing respiration.

ABSTRACT Colossoma macropomum, known locally as tambaqui, is the native fish most farmed in Brazil, however, technological advances are needed to reach efficient production rates. Modulating growth factors, such as growth hormone, may be associated with improved growth rate and feed efficiency. The use of exogenous hormone for fish rearing is prohibited in Brazil, yet the experimental use of bovine hormone can be useful in research aimed at understanding how to stimulate endogenous growth hormones in fish. Therefore, the present study had the strict objective of understanding the effects of growth hormone on the physiology and zootechnical parameters of C. macropomum under experimental conditions. The animals were intraperitoneally injected every fifteen days with 1, 10 and 100 μg g-1 of bGH using 0.9% NaCl saline as diluent. The 10 and 100 μg g-1 bolus had a positive effect on the performance indexes of C. macropomum: weight gain (g), growing length (cm), daily weight gain (g), feed conversion and specific growth rate (% per day). The bGH promoted a greater increase in length than in mass, which caused a reduction in condition factor of the individuals receiving a bolus of 10 and 100 μg g-1. Furthermore, bGH caused no changes in glucose levels, cortisol, hematological parameters, plasma levels of Na+ and K+, and activity of gill’s H+-ATPase and Na+, K+-ATPase, at least during the experimental period considered in the present study.

Hematology is an important pathological and diagnostic tool. This paper describes the hematological parameters of 76 specimens of Hoplias malabaricus infested with monogenean parasites, which were collected from two lagoons. The hematological parameters included: erythrocyte count (Er), microhematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The blood parameters showed no significant changes associated with the infestation. Water temperature was found to be negatively correlated with MCV and Hct, with values of rs= −0.52, p<0.0001 and rs= −0.48, p<0.0001, respectively. The mean Relative Condition Factor was Kn=1.01, indicating good health conditions of the fish in these lagoons. No correlation was found between the monogenean infestation and the blood parameters, or between the environmental factors and the monogeneans.

ABSTRACT Tambaqui,Colossoma macropomum is a fish of primary importance in Brazilian aquaculture and in the Amazon region in particular. The aim of this work is to analyze the combined effects of physical training and levels of dietary cassava (Manihot esculenta) on the hematological parameters, food intake, conversion efficiency, growth ratio and swimming performance of this fish. A diet for tambaqui consisting of 30% cassava caused decreases in weight gain and specific growth rate compared with the control group. Diets containing 15% or 45% cassava did not affect these indices and did not cause hematological changes in tambaqui juveniles, indicating that some amount of cassava can be used as an alternative energy source for this important aquaculture species.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts of metazoan parasites on hematological and biochemical parameters and relative condition factor of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum ) farmed in northern Brazil. A total of 32 juvenile fish were captured from a commercial fish farm located in the municipality of Rio Preto da Eva, Amazonas state, Brazil. Parasite prevalence was 100% for Anacanthorus spathulatus, Mymarothecium boegeri and Notozothecium janauachensis, 100% for Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae and 53.13% for Dolops geayi. The greatest mean parasite intensity was found in acantocephalans followed by monogeneans and branchiuran crustaceans. A negative correlation was observed between abundance of N. buttnerae and hematocrit percentage, hemoglobin concentration, total thrombocyte count and glucose and between abundance of the monogenean and glucose concentration. Parasitic infections caused damage in tambaqui in terms of the observed hematological parameters that were characterized by hypochromic anemia and thrombocytopenia, which are important parameters to be used in parasitic diagnosis. This study is the first record of the occurrence of Dolops geayi in farmed tambaqui in the Amazon.

The aimed of the study was to evaluate the effect of continuous artificial aeration on zootechnical performance, hematological characteristics and glucose concentration of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) cultivated in a system without water flow. The study was conducted with two treatments, with aeration and without artificial aeration. Were 600 tambaqui juveniles with an average initial weight of 15 ± 0.15g were distributed in two excavated tanks. Thirty fish were captured per cultivation unit to perform monthly biometric measurements and were subjected to blood collection to determine hematological parameters. There was no difference between hematological variables (p<0.05). However, the continuous use of artificial aeration provided fish with more comfortable conditions, resulting in greater performance (p<0.05) in up to 90 days of cultivation, with an average daily weight gain of 4.82 g compared to 4.49g to the system without artificial aeration. It can be inferred that fish grown in a system without artificial aeration presented, when compared to those raised in a system with continuous artificial aeration, smaller values (p<0.05) of growth, both in weight and in length, consequently the continuous use of the aerator provided favorable conditions for the fish, resulting in average daily weight gain and total biomass gain.

Hematological profiles of imported Holstein bulls were studied twice after quarantine in order to control the process of adaptation of animals to new environmental conditions. It is shown that after quarantine in animals there was an increased content of leukocytes and hemoglobin in the blood relative to the physiological norm, which reflects the change in the functional state of the organism of bulls in connection with the change of the environment. The leukocyte content of 1/4 of imported bulls remained almost unchanged during the study period, and in more than 66 % of cases its subsequent decrease to the upper limit of the norm was observed. At the same time, it was noted that in some animals the decrease in the level of leukocytes occurred smoothly, while in others there were sharp falls. There were cases of a sharp increase in the number of lymphocytes (up to 93 %) a month after the quarantine of animals on the background of a decrease in neutrophils. The average content of erythrocytes in the blood was included within the boundaries of the reference values. Variation of this indicator was not high, in 83.3 % of animals it remained almost at the same level. The ratio of the volume of shaped elements and blood plasma in the studied bulls did not go beyond the physiological norm. The number of platelets in the blood of all bulls was within the reference limits. The imported bulls in the initial period of adaptation observed changes in the hematological profile, and subsequently formed a tendency to normalize the level of hematological parameters, which in the future will allow the animals to realize the genetic potential.
