Behavioural avoidance responses of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) to aquatic hypoxia were investigated at 22 and 30°C using a modified shuttlebox system. Fish movement between a control side maintained at normoxia and a hypoxic side with stepwise decreasing water oxygen tension was analysed for entries into the hypoxic side, residence time per entry into the hypoxic side and total time in the hypoxic side. Acclimation to 30°C increased the oxygen threshold for the onset of hypoxia avoidance behaviours for entries and total time, while residence time per entry was unchanged. 相似文献

Changes in blood respiratory properties and cardiovascular function of Channa maculata are described in fish acutely exposed to water of different oxygen tensions. The oxygen dissociation curve of the blood was hyperbolic, and the blood had a high oxygen affinity ( P 50 = 7.6 mm Hg at pH = 7.6) and a large Bohr coefficient. The persistently higher blood oxygen level in the dorsal aorta compared with that in the bulbus arteriosus regardless of the ambient oxygen tensions tends to support Ishimatsu and Itazawa's (1983) suggestion that oxygenated and deoxygenated blood could be. at least partially, separated in the heart of Channa . Acute exposure to hypoxic water induced insignificant changes in blood oxygen tension and saturation. However, bradycardia, hypotension, haemodilution and antidiuresis were observed in fish exposed to severely hypoxic (PO2 ≤ 30 mmHg) but not to moderately hypoxic (PO2 = 50 mmHg) water. These data suggested that Channa maculala possessed adaptive blood respiratory properties and blood circulation pattern to allow the fish to take up oxygen from air without significant branchial oxygen loss to the surrounding hypoxic water. 相似文献

The average rate of swimming speed and the physiological status or stress of individual Atlantic cod Gadus morhua was monitored in response to short-term acute (STA) hypoxia ( i.e. partial pressure of oxygen, , reduced from 20·9 to 4·3 kPa within 1 h at 10° C). The STA hypoxic response of Atlantic cod was associated with a large primary increase (+29%) and a large secondary decrease (−54%) in swimming speed as well as major physiological stress ( e.g. plasma cortisol = 214·7 ng ml−1 and blood lactate = 2·41 mmol l−1 ). 相似文献

Determining hypoxic fraction in a rat glioma by uptake of radiolabeled fluoromisonidazole 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The usefulness of radiolabeled nitroimidazoles for measuring hypoxia will be clarified by defining the relationship between tracer uptake and radiobiologically hypoxic fraction. We determined the radiobiologically hypoxic fraction from radiation response data in 36B10 rat gliomas using the paired cell survival curve technique and compared the values to the radiobiologically hypoxic fraction inferred from mathematical modeling of time-activity data acquired by PET imaging of [(18)F]FMISO uptake. Rats breathed either air or 10% oxygen during imaging, and timed blood samples were taken. The uptake of [(3)H]FMISO by 36B10 cells in vitro provided cellular binding characteristics of this radiopharmaceutical as a function of oxygen concentration. The radiobiologically hypoxic fraction determined for tumors in air-breathing rats using the paired survival curve technique was 6.1% (95% CL = 4.3- 8.6%), which agreed well with that determined by modeling FMISO time-activity data (7. 4%; 95% CL = 2.5-17.3%). These results are consistent with the agreement between the two techniques for measuring radiobiologically hypoxic fraction in Chinese hamster V79 cell spheroids. In contrast, the FMISO-derived radiobiologically hypoxic fraction in rats breathing 10% oxygen was 13.1% (95% CL 7.9-8.3%), much lower than the radiobiologically hypoxic fraction of 43% determined from the radiation response data. This discrepancy may be due to the failure of FMISO to identify hypoxic cells residing at or above an oxygen level of 2-3 mmHg that will still confer substantial protection against radiation. The presence of transiently hypoxic cells in rats breathing reduced oxygen may also be under-reported by nitroimidazole binding, which is strongly dependent on time and concentration. 相似文献

Some Atlantic cod in the Bornholm Basin undertake vertical foraging migrations into severely hypoxic bottom water. Hypoxic conditions can reduce the postprandial increase in gastrointestinal blood flow (GBF). This could subsequently postpone or reduce the postprandial increase in oxygen consumption (MO2), i.e. the SDA, leading to a disturbed digestion. Additionally, a restricted oxygen uptake could result in an oxygen debt that needs to be compensated for upon return to normoxic waters and this may also affect the ability to process the food. Long-term cardio-respiratory measurements were made on fed G. morhua in order to understand how the cardio-respiratory system of feeding fish respond to a period of hypoxia and a subsequent return to normoxia. These were exposed to 35% water oxygen saturation for 90 minutes, equivalent to the time and oxygen level cod voluntarily endure when searching for food in the Bornholm Basin. We found that i) gastric and intestinal blood flows, cardiac output and MO2 increased after feeding, ii) gastric and intestinal blood flows were spared in hypoxia, and iii) there were no indications of an oxygen debt at the end of the hypoxic period. The magnitude and time course of the measured variables are similar to values obtained from fish not exposed to the hypoxic period. In conclusion, when cod in the field search for and ingest prey under moderate hypoxic conditions they appear to stay within safe limits of oxygen availability as we saw no indications of an oxygen debt, or negative influence on digestive capacity, when simulating field observations. 相似文献

In the brackish water of the Baltic Sea successful spawning of Baltic cod Gadus morhua is restricted to the Bornholm, Gdansk and Gotland basins below the halocline, occurring at 50–80 m depth. Due to irregular mixing of the deep water, stagnant conditions occur regularly accompanied with unfavourable oxygen conditions. In avoiding stressful oxygen conditions maintenance of egg buoyancy is considered a major limiting factor for successful spawning of Baltic cod. Batches of eggs were incubated experimentally in a density gradient column. Egg specific gravity changed during development, decreasing from the time of gastrulation, then increasing prior to hatching. The changes in specific gravity varied among egg batches from different females and were related to egg quality, egg size and ambient salinity. Eggs achieve different specific gravity depending on incubation salinity. Initial egg specific gravity together with the ability of eggs to gain and maintain buoyancy up to hatching, determine larval specific gravity and the depth where hatching will occur, and thus opportunities for larval survival, avoiding stressful oxygen conditions and developing at favourable feeding conditions. 相似文献

Detection and avoidance of oxygen deficient sea water (≤3.0 ppm dissolved oxygen) by white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus (Linnaeus), and brown shrimp, P. aztecus (Ives), was measured under laboratory conditions. Shrimp were acclimated to control salinity (22%.) and temperature (22°C) for a minimum of 2 days and to the test chamber for l h before recording data. A shrimp's response to treatment water was determined by its (1) response time, i.e., time in min to first entrance into the control side of the chamber, and (2) total time spent in the treatment side of the chamber.White shrimp detected and significantly avoided intruding water containing ≤1.5 ppm dissolved oxygen. Brown shrimp were more sensitive and avoided water having dissolved oxygen concentrations ≤2.0 ppm. Behavioral responses of white shrimp and brown shrimp to hypoxic water included an initial increase in general level of activity, retreat from hypoxia by walking or swimming, rapid eye-stalk movements, and flexing of their antennal scales. In addition, white shrimp exhibited abdominal flexures and apparent exhaustion.Hypoxia along coastal Louisiana, west of the Mississippi River Delta, could markedly affect shrimp stocks by increased natural mortality through (1) physiological stress, (2) increased inter- and conspecific competition, and (3) increased predation. 相似文献

The effect of hyperthermia on the size of hypoxic and chronically hypoxic cell fractions in murine tumors was studied. The chronically hypoxic cell fraction was defined as a fraction of tumor cells which were not oxygenated under hyperbaric oxygen. Animals were C3Hf/Sed mice derived from our defined flora mouse colony. Tumors were FSa-II and MCa which were early generation isotransplants of a spontaneous fibrosarcoma and a mammary carcinoma, respectively. TCD50 (50% tumor control dose) or the radiation dose which yields a local tumor control in half the treated animals and TG (tumor growth) time or the time required for half the treated tumors to reach 1000 mm3 from the first treatment day were experimental end points. Hyperthermia was given by immersing animal feet into a water bath maintained at 43.5 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Animal tumors were irradiated with a 137Cs unit under hypoxic conditions, in air or under O2 30 psi. The hypoxic cell fraction increased immediately after hyperthermia in both MCa and FSa-II tumors. The chronically hypoxic cell fraction was, on the other hand, decreased following hyperthermia. The decrease was more substantial in the MCa than in FSa-II. 相似文献

Long term exposure to brackish water (171 mm NaCl) affected the capacity of common carp Cyprinus carpio to deal with hypoxic conditions and the critical oxygen concentrations for oxygen consumption increased. In addition, regulation of ammonia excretion was lost. The cytosolic phosphorylation potential (the index of the energy status of a cell in terms of potential transferable phosphate groups) in the lateral muscle on the other hand remained relatively unaffected, indicating that oxygen transport to the tissues was not severely compromised. It appears that exposure to brackish water reduces the capacity of common carp to cope with hypoxic conditions mainly because of the high energetic cost of hyperventilation under conditions where energy stores are depleted, and not because of any impeded oxygen transport mechanisms. 相似文献

A massive beaching and mortality of fishes occurred in Coliumo Bay, a shallow bay located along the coast of the eastern South Pacific Ocean on 3 January 2008. This stranding was a consequence of an abrupt decrease in the dissolved oxygen concentration throughout the whole water column, due to the effect of intense upwelling along the coast off central‐southern Chile. The main objectives of this study were: (1) to characterize taxonomically and biologically the fish species assemblage present in this beaching; (2) to evaluate several physiological indicators for the condition of the beached species at the time of their death; and (3) to assess the possible cause–effect mechanisms involved in the fishes death and the changes that took place in the fish community throughout the time. In this beaching, 26 fish species were identified: 23 teleosts, one myxiniform and two elasmobranchs. Most beached specimens were juveniles. Haematological and histological evidence indicate that severe hypoxia that lasted for at least 48 h was the most plausible cause of death. The main conclusion of this study is that the presence of oxygen‐poor equatorial sub‐surface water in the shallow coastal zone due to intense regional‐scale upwelling caused the fish stranding. Although the effect of the hypoxic event was severe for the fish assemblage of Coliumo Bay, the rapid recuperation observed suggests that hypoxic events at the local spatial scale can be buffered by migration processes from the fish community inhabiting close by areas non‐affected by low oxygen conditions. The effect that severe hypoxic events may have on larger spatial scales remains unknown. 相似文献

Plasma and tissue metabolite levels were measured in the air-breathing Channa maculata during acute and prolonged exposure to normoxic and hypoxic water. Exposure of the fish to hypoxic water (water oxygen partial pressure, PwO 2 = 50 mmHg) for 1 h caused increases in plasma glucose and lactate, liver and brain lactate, liver a-amino acid, heart and brain alanine and brain succinate levels. The metabolic changes in heart, brain and muscle could only be detected when Pw O2 was 30 or 10 mmHg. Heart glycogen and liver lipid decreased during acute exposure. Prolonged exposure to hypoxic water ( Pw O2 = 30 mmHg) for 3 days caused an increase in plasma glycerol and liver lactate dehydrogenase activity, and a depletion of glycogen store in all tissues investigated. However, metabolite levels which had been elevated during acute hypoxic exposure were observed to return to their normoxic values after prolonged exposure. It was concluded that anaerobic metabolism was triggered by acute exposure to hypoxic water. Prolonged exposure to hypoxic water induced a metabolic readjustment involving mobilisation of lipid and glycogen stores, which is probably a reflection of the high metabolic load of aerial respiration imposed on the fish during exposure to hypoxic water. 相似文献

Cellular oxygen consumption is a determinant of intracellular oxygen levels. Because of the high demand of mitochondrial respiration during insulin secretion, pancreatic β-cells consume large amounts of oxygen in a short time period. We examined the effect of insulin secretion on cellular oxygen tension in vitro. We confirmed that Western blotting of pimonidazole adduct was more sensitive than immunostaining for detection of cellular hypoxia in vitro and in vivo. The islets of the diabetic mice but not those of normal mice were hypoxic, especially when a high dose of glucose was loaded. In MIN6 cells, a pancreatic β-cell line, pimonidazole adduct formation and stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were detected under mildly hypoxic conditions. Inhibition of respiration rescued the cells from becoming hypoxic. Glucose stimulation decreased cellular oxygen levels in parallel with increased insulin secretion and mitochondrial respiration. The cellular hypoxia by glucose stimulation was also observed in the isolated islets from mice. The MIN6 cells overexpressing HIF-1α were resistant to becoming hypoxic after glucose stimulation. Thus, glucose-stimulated β-cells can become hypoxic by oxygen consumption, especially when the oxygen supply is impaired. 相似文献

The energetic consequences of fighting, which may depend on environmental conditions, can be an important factor shaping contest strategy and duration. Energy expenditure may be costly to fitness because it depletes reserves that could otherwise have been allocated to reproduction, and metabolites are produced that may constrain subsequent activities. We examined the variation in the metabolic consequences of fighting in relation to hypoxia. Contests were staged between pairs of size-matched male shore crabs Carcinus maenas L., under a range of water oxygen tensions (between 10 and 100% oxygen saturation) which crabs experience in their natural habitat. Fighting under normoxic and hypoxic conditions resulted in significantly elevated concentrations of haemolymph metabolites (L-lactate and glucose) compared with crabs at rest. However, these concentrations were much lower than in crabs that had been walking on a treadmill. Glycogen concentrations differed only under hypoxic conditions: glycogen stores were reduced in crabs after fighting and this reduction was similar to that after exercise on a treadmill. Contests were shorter when they were staged below a water P o2of 6.7 kPa ( approximately 30% normoxia). As water oxygen tensions were reduced, fighting crabs had greater concentrations of L-lactate and glucose in their blood and tissues whilst glycogen stores were reduced. Fights became shorter when crabs were exposed to severe hypoxia (P o2=2 kPa) for increasing lengths of time, and blood L-lactate concentrations increased. The results suggest that as fights progressed, crabs experienced an increasing metabolic debt, in the form of accumulation of L-lactate and a reduction in energy stores, which was amplified by hypoxic conditions.

Homing behaviour and group cohesion in Atlantic cod Gadus morhua from the northern Gulf of St Lawrence were studied based on tagging-recapture data from two periods, the 1980s and a recent period from 1996 to 2008. Two or more tags from a single tagging experiment were frequently recovered together in subsequent years. The null hypothesis was tested that the frequency of matching tag recoveries occurred by chance only through random mixing of tagged G. morhua before their recapture by the commercial fishery. The alternative hypothesis was that non-random, positive association (group cohesion) existed among tagged individuals that persisted through time and during migrations. Results show that the G. morhua population exhibits a homing behaviour, with temporal stability across seasons and years: 50% of recaptured fish in the recent period were caught <34 km from their mark site, even 3 years after release. In the 1980s, G. morhua were located at <10 km from their release site 1 year after tagging during summer and at <16 km during spring and autumn combined. Despite the increasing distance between the mark and recapture sites over time, the difference was not significant. In addition, occurrences of two or more tagged fish from the same release event that were caught together indicated a non-random association among individual fish for periods of one to several years and through migrations over several hundred kilometres. Hence G. morhua showed group cohesion in addition to site fidelity. These two interacting behaviours may be fundamental for the rebuilding and conservation of depleted fish stocks. 相似文献

River impoundments are characterized by low oxygen levels as a result of reduced water velocity and increased water depth. Bimodally respiring turtle species are likely to be highly sensitive to changes in aquatic PO2 with decreases in oxygen levels impacting upon their diving ability. The acute and long-term effects of aquatic hypoxia on dive duration, oxygen consumption and blood respiratory properties were examined in hatchlings of the endangered Mary River turtle Elusor macrurus . It was hypothesized that acute exposure to aquatic hypoxia would cause a decrease in dive duration as a consequence of a decrease in reliance on aquatic respiration. With long-term exposure to hypoxia, we predicted that Elu. macrurus would have the capacity to compensate for the acute effect of hypoxia and that dive duration would increase due to an increase in aquatic respiration, haemoglobin concentration and oxygen affinity (P50 ). When exposed to hypoxic conditions, aquatic respiration in Elu. macrurus was substantially reduced resulting in a 51% decrease in dive duration. Contrary to our predictions, Elu. macrurus hatchlings did not acclimate, and long-term exposure to hypoxic conditions caused Elu. macrurus to lose significantly more oxygen to the hypoxic water than the normoxic acclimated turtles. The exacerbation of long-term hypoxia on the respiratory physiology and diving ecology of Elu. macrurus raises concerns about the impacts of long-term environmental change as a result of habitat alteration on the survival of freshwater turtle populations. 相似文献

Oxygen preference of the planktonic crustacean Daphnia magna was observed within an oxygen gradient. Long-term acclimation to specific oxygen conditions determined the preferred oxygen tension. Animals from hypoxic acclimation stayed in oxygen-poor water at first. They chose oxygen tensions above the critical partial pressure, thus maintaining aerobic energy supply, but they avoided higher oxygen concentrations. However, they gradually took more oxygen-rich positions within 2 d. Animals from severe hypoxic and hyperoxic acclimation showed stenoxic behavior. Specimens raised in moderately hypoxic or normoxic medium spread out more widely in the oxygen gradient (euryoxic behavior). The possible role of hemoglobin and antioxidant defense capacity limiting the animals' distribution at low or high oxygen concentrations, respectively, is discussed. In tests with mixed groups of D. magna from opposing oxygen acclimation conditions, the animals clustered at intermediate oxygen conditions. However, the acclimation condition of the major group was found to determine the position taken within the gradient to a greater extent. Selected oxygen tensions were closer to the preference values of the larger group, yet the influence of the minority prevented the majority in heterogeneous groups from taking their originally determined preference position. Thus, aggregation behavior interfered with the acclimation-dependent oxygen preference behavior. 相似文献

Physical and chemical conditions and fish were studied during spring and summer in 1974 and 1975 in Holyrood Pond, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland. It is a landlocked body of water lying at sea level (length = 21.72 km; maximum width = 1.55 km; maximum depth = 100.0 m) which is occasionally opened to the sea. The landlocked condition is caused by prevailing southwest winds and wave action which create a beach barrier that effectively isolates the mouth from St. Mary's Bay. Under landlocked conditions, there was a continual decrease in salinity and dissolved oxygen at all depths. Temperature profiles were of a dichothermic nature; a certain amount of temporal variability was noted in lower lying water. When the barrier was opened (by bulldozer) and the pond came under tidal influence, there was a replenishment of salt water and dissolved oxygen. Temperature profiles retained the same overall shape but were more erratic, and compared with the closed barrier condition, showed greater variability with time especially in the deeper water. A small amount of commercial fishing is carried out in the pond during both open and closed barrier conditions. A total of 30 species of fish was encountered during the sampling period. Of these, Salvelinus fontinalis, Gadus morhua, Urophycis tenuis, Pseudopleuronectes americanus and Alosa pseudoharengus were studied in detail. Aspects of their biology are compared with other populations and discussed in the context of environmental conditions peculiar to Holyrood Pond. 相似文献

When exposed to severely hypoxic water, many teleosts skim the better oxygenated surface layer (aquatic surface respiration, ASR). Information is scarce concerning the thresholds triggering ASR and its cardio-respiratory consequences. To assess the ambient conditions leading to ASR and to evaluate its effects on cardio-respiratory function, we exposed specimens of Piaractus mesopotamicus to gradual hypoxia (water oxygen tension ranging from 120 to 10 torr) with or, alternatively, without access to the surface. Concurrently, ASR, cardiac and respiratory frequencies, O2 uptake and gill ventilation were monitored. With surface access, ASR developed below the critical tension for O2 uptake (34 torr) by normal gill ventilation. Moreover, the time spent in ASR increased with prolonged hypoxic exposure to a maximum of 95% of total time. Without surface access, the species exhibited hypoxic bradycardia, that had not occurred in the group with fully developed ASR. Even without ASR, P. mesopotamicus recovered readily from hypoxic exposure, showing that this species possesses a number of mechanisms to cope with environmental hypoxia. 相似文献

Seven types of plastics sometimes used in construction of physiological chambers were tested for their utility as devices employed to measure oxygen or oxygen uptake. They were equilibrated with air and exposed to hypoxic water, and the release of oxygen from the plastic to the water was measured. Nylon, acetal, and polyvinylchloride released the least amount of oxygen and thus are the most useful; acrylic and high-density polyethylene are less useful; polycarbonate and Teflon should be avoided. 相似文献

Bioturbation, the displacement and mixing of sediment particles by fauna or flora, facilitates life supporting processes by increasing the quality of marine sediments. In the marine environment bioturbation is primarily mediated by infaunal organisms, which are susceptible to perturbations in their surrounding environment due to their sedentary life history traits. Of particular concern is hypoxia, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations ≤2.8 mg l(-1), a prevalent and persistent problem that affects both pelagic and benthic fauna. A benthic observing system (Wormcam) consisting of a buoy, telemetering electronics, sediment profile camera, and water quality datasonde was developed and deployed in the Rappahannock River, VA, USA, in an area known to experience seasonal hypoxia from early spring to late fall. Wormcam transmitted a time series of in situ images and water quality data, to a website via wireless internet modem, for 5 months spanning normoxic and hypoxic periods. Hypoxia was found to significantly reduce bioturbation through reductions in burrow lengths, burrow production, and burrowing depth. Although infaunal activity was greatly reduced during hypoxic and near anoxic conditions, some individuals remained active. Low concentrations of DO in the water column limited bioturbation by infaunal burrowers and likely reduced redox cycling between aerobic and anaerobic states. This study emphasizes the importance of in situ observations for understanding how components of an ecosystem respond to hypoxia. 相似文献
