Saltwater Barrel Physiological Compensatory Mechanisms in Hypothermia
Author(s): Olawale Onada*
The freshwater drum, or Aplodinotus grunniens, is a common type of eurythermal
freshwater fish in North America. New aquaculture opportunities emerged as a
result of our team's significant advancements in artificial breeding and cultivation
in 2019 and research into the physiological responses of the organisms to their
surroundings. Its capacity to adapt to hypothermia and maintain metabolic
homeostasis, on the other hand, is poorly understood. This experiment used
cold stress for eight days at temperatures of 18 °C (LT18) and 10 °C (LT10), with
a control temperature of 25 °C (Con), in order to investigate the effects of shortterm
hypothermia on the physiology and metabolism of freshwater drum. LT18
and LT10 had significantly lower levels of free essential amino acids than Con after
two days of cold stress. At LT10, both the activity of lipase.. View More»
