不同游泳速度条件下瓦氏黄颡幼鱼的有氧和无氧代谢反应

在(25±1)℃的条件下,测定瓦氏黄颡(Pelteobagrus vachelli Richardson)幼鱼体重(4.34±0.13)g的临界游泳速度(Ucrit),然后分别以临界游泳速度的不同百分比(20、40、60、80、100%Ucrit)将实验鱼分为5个速度处理组,另外设置静止对照组和高速力竭对照组。处理组实验鱼在不同游泳速度下分别游泳20min,在此过程中测定并计算运动代谢率(Activity metabolic rate,AMR),随后测定肌肉、血液和肝脏中的乳酸、糖原和葡萄糖含量。结果显示:实验鱼的绝对临界游泳速度为(48.28±1.02)cm/s,相对临界游泳速度为(6.78±0.16)BL/s;随着游泳速度的提高AMR显著增加(Pcrit时肌乳酸和血乳酸含量显著高于80%Ucrit的水平(P0.05);100%Ucrit时肝糖原含量显著低于40%Ucrit的水平(P0.05)。经计算瓦氏黄颡幼鱼到达临界游泳速度时的无氧代谢功率比例仅为11.0%,表明其游泳运动主要以有氧代谢供能;实验鱼的无氧代谢大约在80%Ucrit才开始启动,与其他鱼类比较启动时间较晚,说明其游泳运动对无氧代谢的依赖程度较低。研究提示瓦氏黄颡幼鱼是一种有氧运动能力较强的鱼类,这一能量代谢特征可能与提高其生存适合度有关。       

Dietary fatty acid composition affects the repeat swimming performance of Atlantic salmon in seawater

Repeated critical swimming performance trials (Ucrit) were performed on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to test the null hypothesis that the source of dietary lipids (fish-based, poultry-based, and plant-based) does not influence exercise and recovery performance. Four diets were prepared by extensively replacing supplemental lipid from anchovy oil (AO; 100% AO at 150 g/kg) with cold pressed flaxseed oil (FO; 25% AO, 75% FO), sunflower oil (SO; 25% AO, 75% SO), or poultry fat (PF; 25% AO, 75% PF). These diets had equivalent protein and energy concentrations, but due to the different supplemental lipid sources, varied widely in their fatty acid composition. Fish fed AO had a significantly higher (P<0.05) first Ucrit (2.62+/-0.07 body lenght s(-1)) than those fed PF (2.22+/-0.12 body lenght s(-1)) that had low muscle ratios of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) to saturated fatty acids (SFA) and arachidonic acid (AA), and high levels of oleic acid. Fish in the FO and SO diet groups swam as well as AO-fed fish in both swimming trials. The performance of fish fed AO decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the second swimming trial (i.e. Ucrit2/Ucrit1=0.92+/-0.02). No significant differences occurred between diet groups for the second swim trial. There was a positive correlation between both n-3 HUFA/SFA and n-3 HUFA/AA ratios, and Ucrit1. A negative correlation was found between dietary AA and oleic acids, and Ucrit1. The present study suggests that low dietary n-3 HUFA/ SFA and n-3 HUFA/AA ratios may negatively affect swimming performance. The former possibly can be offset by increasing linoleic acid in the presence of nutritionally adequate n-3 HUFA (e.g. SO diet). Lipid supplements consisting largely of vegetable oils did not compromise fish cardiorespiratory physiology under the conditions of this study.     

饥饿对南方鲇幼鱼游泳能力个体变异和重复性的影响

为考察肉食性鱼类有氧和无氧运动能力的种内个体变异、重复性及其对饥饿的响应, 研究以南方鲇（Silurus meridionalis Chen）幼鱼为实验对象, 在（250.5）℃条件下测定对照组（n=28）和饥饿组（n=29）的临界游泳速度（Critical swimming speed, Ucrit）、暴发游泳速度（Constant acceleration speed, Ucat）和固定流速耐受时间（Endurance）, 分析游泳能力的个体变异、稳定性及饥饿的影响。结果显示: （1）饥饿组的体重、体长和肥满度均分别显著下降了（15.100.86）%、（2.570.40）%和（7.941.59）%（P0.05）, 而对照组无明显变化; （2）对照组的Ucat和耐受时间无明显变化（P0.05）, 但Ucrit下降（6.632.25）%（P=0.031）, 而除耐受时间外饥饿组其Ucrit和Ucat分别显著下降了（26.002.76）%和（13.681.86）%（P0.001）, 并饥饿组Ucrit的下降比例显著大于其Ucat（P0.001）; （3）并且对照组三个指标的变异系数（Coefficient of variation, CV）变化方向和程度不尽相同, 饥饿组的Ucrit、Ucat和耐受时间的CV全部增加; （4）南方鲇幼鱼Ucrit和Ucat呈正相关且2周的饥饿并未改变此正相关。饥饿明显降低南方鲇幼鱼两种游泳能力并导致游泳能力的个体变异变大, 但没有改变该种鱼的有氧运动能力和无氧运动能力之间的内在正相关关系。研究表明无氧运动能力在环境改变后显得更为保守, 种内个体变异的变动可能有利于在相同自然选择压力下种内个体采取不同的捕食和避敌对策。       

溶氧水平对鳊鱼、中华倒刺鲃幼鱼游泳能力的影响

在(25 1)℃条件下, 以鳊鱼(Parabramis pekinensis)体重(4.70 0.11)g, n=32、中华倒刺鲃(Spinibarbus sinensis)体重(3.26 0.06)g, n=32幼鱼为研究对象, 采用鱼类游泳代谢测定仪在水体溶氧为8、4、2、1 mgO2/L条件下分别测定其临界游泳速度(Ucrit)和游泳代谢率(MO2), 并计算出静止代谢率(MO2rest)、最大游泳代谢率(MO2max)、代谢范围(MS)及单位位移能耗(COT)等相关参数。结果显示, 随着溶氧水平的下降, 鳊鱼、中华倒刺鲃幼鱼的Ucrit均逐渐下降, 除中华倒刺鲃幼鱼的值在4与8 mgO2/L下没有显著性差异外, 其他各组均差异显著(P0.05); 在同一溶氧水平下的中华倒刺鲃Ucrit显著大于鳊鱼(P0.05)。两种鱼的MO2max和MS均随DO的下降而显著下降, 但MO2rest在溶氧水平低于1 mgO2/L才显著下降(P0.05)。研究还发现鳊鱼、中华倒刺鲃幼鱼的MO2在同一游泳速度下随溶氧水平下降而降低, 而在相同溶氧水平下随游泳速度的上升而显著升高(P0.05); COT随游泳速度上升而显著降低(P0.05), 但在高游泳速度下相对稳定, 在同一游泳速度下随着DO的下降有所减小。中华倒刺鲃的COT整体上小于鳊鱼, 且在低游泳速度下差异更大。87.5%(1-8 mgO2/L)溶氧水平的下降导致两种鱼类相似的Ucrit变化(53% vs. 50%), 但溶氧水平由8降到4 mgO2/L时, 鳊鱼32%MO2max的下降导致Ucrit下降13%, 但同样的溶氧水平下降虽然导致中华倒刺鲃的MO2max下降20%, 但由于MO2rest和COT的下降, 其Ucrit并没有显著的变化。实验结果表明: 不同溶氧水平对不同鱼种游泳能力的影响存在差异, 这种差异与其代谢对策密切相关。       

溶氧水平对鲫鱼代谢模式的影响

为了探讨水体溶氧水平对鲫幼鱼(Carassius carassius)运动、消化能力及其交互作用的影响,在(25.0±0.5)℃温度条件下,测定了8(饱和溶氧水平)、2和1mg/L溶氧水平下摄食(饱足摄食)和空腹组(空腹2 d)鲫鱼的临界游泳速度(Ucrit)、运动前耗氧率(MO2pre-exercise)、活跃耗氧率(MO2active)和代谢范围(MS)。摄食诱导的耗氧率上升在各溶氧水平下无显著差异。在饱和溶氧水平下,摄食组和空腹组的Ucrit没有显著差异,但在1和2 mg/L条件下,摄食组的Ucrit显著低于空腹组(P<0.05)。在饱和溶氧水平条件下,消化和运动诱导的耗氧率上升在各个游泳水平均能完全叠加,且摄食组鱼类与空腹组鱼类具有相似的MS和Ucrit和更高的MO2active,提示鲫鱼在常氧下为添加代谢模式。随着溶氧水平下降至2和1mg/L,呼吸能力(摄食组的MO2active)对溶氧水平下降较运动耗氧率更为敏感,消化诱导的耗氧率增加只能在较低游泳速度叠加,与空腹组鱼类比较,摄食组鱼类的MS和Ucrit显著下降,MO2active无显著差异,提示低氧下消化和运动对氧气需求竞争的加剧使其代谢模式转化为消化优先。     

锦鲫的摄食代谢与运动代谢及其相互影响

为了探讨锦鲫(Carassius auratus)幼鱼摄食后特殊动力作用(SDA)的变化特征及运动代谢与摄食代谢之间的相互影响,实验首先灌喂锦鲫4%体重的饲料和等体积的纤维素(湿重),测定灌喂前后的耗氧率;另设灌喂饲料、灌喂纤维素、空腹组(对照组)3个组,测定3组的临界游泳速度(Ucrit)和运动耗氧率(MO2);然后在70%、0%临界游泳速度下,分别测定饱足摄食组和空腹组的耗氧率。结果显示:1灌喂饲料后代谢率快速上升,达到峰值后又迅速下降,代谢时间较短,没有一个相对稳定的平台期,灌喂纤维素后代谢率没有显著性变化(P0.05)。提示锦鲫幼鱼的特殊动力作用功率曲线为一个典型的"三角型"模型,且在特殊动力作用总耗能中,生化特殊动力作用占特殊动力作用总耗能的绝大部分,而机械特殊动力作用只占特殊动力作用的极少部分。2锦鲫幼鱼在摄食后临界游泳速度显著下降(P0.05),代谢率显著升高(P0.05)。摄食后的运动过程中,代谢率从摄食开始到代谢率回落至空腹组代谢的标准误范围内的首个数据所对应的时间长度均为6.5 h,且摄食代谢无显著性差异。提示,对锦鲫幼鱼来说,摄食代谢降低了其运动能力,而运动代谢并没有影响摄食代谢。     

Development of a PCR-based method for the detection of Listonella anguillarum in fish tissues and blood samples

A PCR assay for detection and identification of the fish pathogen Listonella anguillarum was developed. Primers amplifying a 519 bp internal fragment of the L. anguillarum rpoN gene, which codes for the factor sigma54, were utilized. The detection limit of the PCR using L. anguillarum pure cultures was approximately 1 to 10 bacterial cells per reaction. For tissue or blood samples of infected turbot Scophthalmus maximus, the detection limit was 10 to 100 L. anguillarum cells per reaction, which corresponds to 2 x 10(3) to 2 x 10(4) cells g(-1) fish tissue. Our results suggest that this PCR protocol is a sensitive and specific molecular method for the detection of the fish pathogen L. anguillarum.     

Adaptation of rainbow fish to lake and stream habitats

Fish occupy a range of hydrological habitats that exert different demands on locomotor performance. We examined replicate natural populations of the rainbow fishes Melanotaenia eachamensis and M. duboulayi to determine if colonization of low-velocity (lake) habitats by fish from high-velocity (stream) habitats resulted in adaptation of locomotor morphology and performance. Relative to stream conspecifics, lake fish had more posteriorly positioned first dorsal and pelvic fins, and shorter second dorsal fin bases. Habitat dimorphism observed between wild-caught fish was determined to be heritable as it was retained in M. eachamensis offspring raised in a common garden. Repeated evolution of the same heritable phenotype in independently derived populations indicated body shape divergence was a consequence of natural selection. Morphological divergence between hydrological habitats did not support a priori expectations of deeper bodies and caudal peduncles in lake fish. However, observed divergence in fin positioning was consistent with a family-wide association between habitat and morphology, and with empirical studies on other fish species. As predicted, decreased demand for sustained swimming in lakes resulted in a reduction in caudal red muscle area of lake fish relative to their stream counterparts. Melanotaenia duboulayi lake fish also had slower sustained swimming speeds (Ucrit) than stream conspecifics. In M. eachamensis, habitat affected Ucrit of males and females differently. Specifically, females exhibited the pattern observed in M. duboulayi (lake fish had faster Ucrit than stream fish), but the opposite association was observed in males (stream males had slower Ucrit than lake males). Stream M. eachamensis also exhibited a reversed pattern of sexual dimorphism in Ucrit (males slower than females) relative to all other groups (males faster than females). We suggest that M. eachamensis males from streams responded to factors other than water velocity. Although replication of muscle and Ucrit phenotypes across same habitat populations within and/or among species was suggestive of adaptation, the common garden experiment did not confirm a genetic basis to these associations. Kinematic studies should consider the effect of the position and base length of dorsal fins.     

Antimicrobial peptides protect coho salmon from Vibrio anguillarum infections

Fish losses from infectious diseases are a significant problem in aquaculture worldwide. Therefore, we investigated the ability of cationic antimicrobial peptides to protect against infection caused by the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum. To identify effective peptides for fish, the MICs of certain antimicrobial peptides against fish pathogens were determined in vitro. Two of the most effective antimicrobial peptides, CEME, a cecropin-melittin hybrid peptide, and pleurocidin amide, a C-terminally amidated form of the natural flounder peptide, were selected for in vivo studies. A single intraperitoneal injection of CEME did not affect mortality rates in juvenile coho salmon infected with V. anguillarum, the causative agent of vibriosis. Therefore, the peptides were delivered continuously using miniosmotic pumps placed in the peritoneal cavity. Twelve days after pump implantation, the fish received intraperitoneal injections of V. anguillarum at a dose that would kill 50 to 90% of the population. Fish receiving 200 microg of CEME per day survived longer and had significantly lower accumulated mortalities (13%) than the control groups (50 to 58%). Fish receiving pleurocidin amide at 250 microg per day also survived longer and had significantly lower accumulated mortalities (5%) than the control groups (67 to 75%). This clearly shows the potential for antimicrobial peptides to protect fish against infections and indicates that the strategy of overexpressing the peptides in transgenic fish may provide a method of decreasing bacterial disease problems.     

齐口裂腹鱼幼鱼疲劳后游泳特性恢复状况研究

以中国地质公园（神农架）野生动物繁育基地提供的齐口裂腹鱼（Schizothorax prenanti）幼鱼（体长为14.017.5 cm,体重为39.665.6 g）为研究对象,利用自制鱼类游泳特性（Swimming performance）研究装置,运用递增流速法（Stepped velocity test）,研究了鱼类疲劳后20d和40d的游泳特性恢复状况。结果表明:（1）在20d内齐口裂腹鱼临界游泳速度（Critical swimming speed,Ucrit）相比于初次测试（20d前）有所降低,20d内的恢复状况较差;而在40d后,临界游泳速度已经基本恢复到最初状况,40d内的恢复状况较好。（2）疲劳后鱼类游泳效率显著下降,并且在40d后无法恢复正常。虽然40d后速度指数低于20d后速度指数,40d后游泳效率高于20d后游泳效率,但是相对于初次测试,40d后游泳效率恢复效果并不明显。（3）齐口裂腹鱼在疲劳后40d内,恢复能力（Recovery capability）无法恢复到正常状况,但由于3次测试中疲劳后过量耗氧（Excess post-exercise oxygen cost,EPOC） 波动并不大,说明疲劳对其恢复能力影响并不大。（4）20d后和40d后无氧呼吸时间均较第一次测试时提前,说明疲劳损伤对其有氧呼吸能力产生了持续影响。（5）疲劳对鱼类生态行为（Ecological behavior）影响不明显。研究有利于为鱼道建设提供基础资料,对生物多样性保护具有深远意义。       

Changes in the condition factor have an impact on metabolic rate and swimming performance relationships in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.)

In the field, Atlantic cod face seasonal changes in food availability that in turn lead to changes in condition. To examine the physiological consequences of these changes in condition, we measured routine metabolic rate (RMR) to estimate standard metabolic rate (SMR), active metabolic rate (AMR), aerobic scope, critical swimming speed (Ucrit), cost of transport, sprint performance, time to exhaustion, and postexhaustion metabolic rate (EMR) for 24 Atlantic cod from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Cod were measured at their initial condition (condition factor of 0.676+/-0.076) and after 9 wk of feeding (condition factor of 0.923+/-0.096). These levels of condition are representative of wild cod in the Gulf of St. Lawrence during the spring and during the fall-early winter, respectively. The improved condition did not change mass-specific SMR. However, mass-specific AMR, aerobic scope, and EMR decreased with the improvement in condition. The various measures of swimming performance were affected differently. Ucrit increased and cost of transport at 1.3 and 1.5 body lengths s(-1) decreased with improved condition, but the cost of transport at 0.3, 0.9, 1.1, 1.7, and 1.9 body lengths s(-1), sprint performance, and time to exhaustion did not change. Hierarchies for the speed at first burst-coast, the proportion of Ucrit supported by burst-coasts, and time to exhaustion were maintained with the improvement in condition. The relationships between metabolic rates and swimming performance differed with condition level, with stronger correlations apparent in the cod at their initial condition. Given the low condition of wild cod stocks, these responses indicate that reduced performance, due to both maintenance of metabolic expenditures and modified swimming capacities, may impair survival under conditions of reduced food availability.     

The effects of stress induced by cortisol administration on the repeatability of swimming performance tests in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.)

The impact of stress induced by cortisol administration on the swimming performance of the European sea bass was tested measuring the fish recovery capability using a respirometer. The recovery test consisted of two exhaustive swimming exercises (U _crit) separated by a recovery period. Thirty-eight fish were subjected to this trial preceded or not (control group) by a cortisol (cortisol group) or saline (placebo) injection. For validation, the classical stress parameters (cortisol, glucose, lysozyme, Hct, Hb and RBCC) were monitored. During the recovery tests, only the cortisol group showed a significant reduction in the recovery capability that was interpreted as a sign of possible physiological impairment. Hct, Hb and RBCC did not show significant inter and intra-group differences, while cortisol and glucose increased as a response to fatigue in all the groups at the end of the trials. No immune (lysozyme) response was observed in control and placebo groups, while a reduction was evidenced in the cortisol group.     

First report on antibody response of Seriola dumerilii (Risso 1810) challenged with Listonella anguillarum

The greater amberjack, Seriola dumerilii (Risso 1810) is a semi-pelagic fish and a worldwide species; it is considered a promising candidate for the diversification of Mediterranean aquaculture. In this paper an experimental injection with Listonella (Vibrio) anguillarum was performed to study the immune response of S. dumerilii. Antibody titres to L. anguillarum O1 were determined with indirect-ELISA at different times over a period of 42 days. Results showed that the antibody levels against L. anguillarum were significantly higher in the challenged fish compared to the control. They started developing since the 5th day reaching the highest peak on day 20 after injection, indicating a fast response of the immune system. The observed antibody titre was very high versus L. anguillarum if compared to other fish species.     

Sublethal effects of mosquito larvicides on swimming performance of larvivorous fish Melanotaenia duboulayi (Atheriniformes: Melanotaeniidae)

Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the sublethal effects of exposure to selected larvicides on the critical swimming speed (Ucrit) of crimson-spotted rainbowfish, Melanotaenia duboulayi (Castlenau). This native fish is common throughout southeastern Queensland, and it is increasingly being distributed as a biological control agent of mosquitoes. The selected larvicides included, two organophosphate (OP) compounds (temephos and pirimiphos-methyl), two microbial larvicides (Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis [Bti] de Barjac and Bacillus sphaericus [Bs] Neide), and an insect growth regulator (IGR) (s-methoprene). Exposure to the OP temephos at 10 times the effective field concentration (EFC; 0.33 mg/liter), and OP pirimiphos-methyl at the EFC (0.50 mg/liter), resulted in a significant reduction in the Ucrit of M. duboulayi under controlled conditions. Conversely, exposure to the microbial (Bti and Bs) and IGR (s-methoprene) larvicides at 10 times the EFC had no effect on the Ucrit of M. duboulayi. Accordingly, these products are suitable for integrated pest management programs in Australia.     

Intestinal colonization potential of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)- and dab (Limanda limanda)-associated bacteria with inhibitory effects against Vibrio anguillarum.

Of more than 400 bacteria isolated from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), 89 have previously been shown to inhibit the in vitro growth of the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of seven of these strains, as well as of intestinal isolates (four strains) from a closely related fish, dab (Limanda limanda), for colonizing farmed turbot as a means of protecting the host from infection by V. anguillarum. In addition, the inhibitory effect of these strains on the pathogen was further studied. Colonization potential was measured by the capacity of the strains to adhere to and grow in turbot intestinal mucus. These parameters were also used to investigate the potential of V. anguillarum to amplify in the turbot intestinal tract. Because of the observed rapid growth of V. anguillarum in intestinal mucus, it can be proposed that the intestinal tract is a site for V. anguillarum multiplication. Strains isolated from the intestine showed greater capacity for adhesion to and growth in fish intestinal mucus than did the pathogen and the skin mucus isolates. All of the isolates released metabolites into the culture medium that had inhibitory effects against V. anguillarum. The results are discussed with emphasis on administering bacteria of host origin to farmed turbot in order to control V. anguillarum-induced disease.

五种淡水鱼类幼鱼游泳能力的比较

为了探讨栖息于不同生境中鱼类的游泳能力和偏好游泳速度及其生理机制,本研究以中华倒刺鲃(Spinibarbus sinensis)、异育银鲫(Carassius auratus gibelio)、岩原鲤(Procypris rabaudi)、青鱼(Mylopharyngodon piceus)和胭脂鱼(Myxocryprinus asiaticus)5种鱼的幼鱼为对象,在(25±1)℃条件下测定了5种鱼类的标准代谢率(SMR)、最大代谢率(MMR)、有氧代谢范围(MS)、临界游泳速度(Ucrit)、最大匀加速游泳速度(Ucat)和偏好游泳速度(Upref)。结果发现:5种实验鱼中,中华倒刺鲃的游泳能力最强,游泳能力较差的为青鱼和胭脂鱼;5种鱼之间的代谢和游泳能力差异显著,其偏好游泳速度主要集中在(10~24.5cm·s^-1)区域。研究表明,鱼类游泳能力的种间差异可能主要由心鳃系统相关的呼吸能力和体型相关的游泳效率所决定。本研究提供的有关鱼类游泳能力、偏好游泳速度等资料对于鱼道设计等有一定的参考价值。     

PFOS对中华倒刺鲃幼鱼爆发游泳及运动后代谢恢复的影响

为探究水体全氟辛烷磺酸(PFOS)污染对鱼类爆发游泳及其代谢恢复能力的影响, 将中华倒刺鲃幼鱼(Spinibarbus sinensis)暴露在不同浓度(0、0.32、0.8、2和5 mg/L)PFOS后, 测定PFOS暴露对其静止代谢率(RMR)、爆发游泳速度(U_burst)以及运动力竭后代谢恢复特征的影响。结果发现, 暴露浓度对实验鱼的U_burst和相对爆发游泳速度(rU_burst)均影响显著(P<0.05), 5 mg/L PFOS暴露导致U_burst和rU_burst分别下降了17.4%和10.8%, PFOS对rU_burst的影响表现出“非单调剂量效应”; 暴露浓度对实验鱼的RMR影响显著(P<0.05), 5 mg/L PFOS暴露导致RMR显著升高, 但PFOS对运动后代谢峰值(MMR)、代谢率增量(MS)、代谢变化倍率(F-MS)、力竭运动后过量氧耗(EPOC)无显著影响(P>0.05)。研究结果提示: PFOS污染改变实验鱼能量代谢水平的下限, 而对其代谢水平的上限无明显的限制性作用; PFOS污染将可能对鱼类捕食——逃避捕食者、穿越激流寻找适宜生境等生存关联的生命活动起到负面影响, 但对无氧代谢关联的代谢恢复能力无显著的生态毒理效应。     

The effects of low-speed swimming following exhaustive exercise on metabolic recovery and swimming performance in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)

Experiments were conducted to determine whether low-speed swimming during recovery from exhaustive exercise improved both metabolic recovery and performance during a swimming challenge. For these experiments, brook trout were allowed to recover from exhaustive exercise for 2 h while swimming at 0, 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 body length (BL) s(-1) or allowed to recover from exhaustive exercise for 1, 2, or 3 h while swimming at 1.0 BL s(-1). At the appropriate interval, either (i) muscle and blood samples were removed from the fish or (ii) fish were assessed for performance (i.e., fatigue time) during a fixed-interval swimming test. Low-speed swimming during recovery from exhaustive exercise resulted in significantly longer fatigue times compared with fish recovering in still water (i.e., 0 BL s(-1)). However, swimming during recovery did not expedite recovery of muscle lactate or blood variables (e.g., lactate, osmolarity, glucose). These observations suggest that metabolic recovery and subsequent swimming performance may not be directly linked and that other factors play a role in swimming recovery in brook trout.
