Abstract


The effects of ceramic balls on live transfer conditions of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, (Walbaum,1792)) were determined by examining ammonia, pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature of water and gill histology of fish. Salt addition and various pH levels of water were also studied for comparison. The study was designed two different pH levels (high 7.98±0.2 and low 6.01±0.1), salt (6g/L), and ceramic ball (10g/l) addition and fish stock density to be 62.3 kg/m3. The trial tanks were mounted on a vehicle to represent actual transport conditions. Fish were sampled every hour for gill histology. As a results, the lowest ammonia value was determined as 1.98 mg/L in the ceramic ball. The highest ammonia value in the high pH group was 2.83 mg/l. When the gill tissues of the fish were examined, the significant differences observed were oedema and epithelial lifting in the control and high pH groups. Hyperplasia, epithelial lifting, and multiple deformations were observed in all the experimental groups except the ceramic ball group. This study showed that based on the histological results of the gills and the stability of the pH levels of the water and the effect on the reduction of the ammonia value of the water, that the ceramic balls are particularly useful for the transport of live fish.

Abstract


Seramik topların gökkuşağı alabalığının (Oncorhynchus mykiss, (Walbaum, 1792)) canlı transfer koşulları üzerindeki etkileri, balıkların solungaç histalojisi ve taşıma suyunun amonyak, pH, çözünmüş oksijen ve su sıcaklığı değerleri incelenerek belirlenmiştir. Seramik topların karşılaştırılması için tuz ilavesi yapılmış grup ve farklı pH seviyeleri hazırlanmış taşıma grupları oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma iki farklı pH seviyesi (yüksek 7.98±0.2 ve düşük 6.01±0.1), tuz (6g/L) ve seramik top (10g/l) ilavesi ve balık stok yoğunluğu 62.3 kg/m3 olacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır. Deneme tankları, gerçek nakliye koşullarını temsil etmek için bir araca monte edildi. Solungaç histolojisi için balıklardan her saat başı numune alındı. Sonuç olarak seramik bilyede en düşük amonyak değeri 1,98 mg/L olarak belirlendi. Yüksek pH grubunda en yüksek amonyak değeri 2,83 mg/l idi. Balıkların solungaç dokuları incelendiğinde, kontrol ve yüksek pH gruplarında ödem ve epitel dokuda ayrılma olduğu gözlendi. Seramik top grubu dışındaki tüm deney gruplarında hiperplazi, epitel dokuda ayrılma ve çoklu deformasyonlar gözlendi. Bu çalışma, solungaçların histolojik sonuçlarına ve suyun pH seviyelerinin stabilitesine ve suyun amonyak değerinin azalmasına olan etkisine dayanarak, seramik bilyelerin özellikle canlı balıkların taşınması için yararlı olduğunu göstermiştir.
