Abstract

Salmonid individuals show a relatively high variability in the time required to abandon the gravel nest where they hatch, the so-called 'emergence time'. Different behavioral and physiological traits have been shown to be associated with emergence time in wild salmonids. In general, early- and late-emerging fish have traits resembling those of proactive and reactive stress coping styles, respectively. Proactive fish are considered to be more resilient to stress and probably to disease, so it was hypothesized that fish with different emergence times have different abilities to resist repeated episodes of stress without suffering deleterious effects on their welfare or health status. In this study, rainbow trout eyed eggs were hatched and larvae were fractionated according to their emergence time (early fraction: first 20% of fish to emerge; intermediate fraction: mid 20%; late fraction: last 20%). When the fish were 4 months old, they were exposed to a daily repeated stress protocol for 15 days. The next day, both naïve and repeatedly stressed fish were exposed to an acute stress challenge. Different plasma (cortisol, glucose, lactate) as well as CNS (serotonergic activity) stress markers were assessed to evaluate the stress res...Continue Reading
