Primary Stress Responses Of Common Carp, Cyprinus Carpio Exposed To Copper Toxicity, Mathan Ramesh, Ahmed Mustafa, Sathyanarayanan Senthil Kumaran, Chokkalingam Kavith, Monoharan Saravanan Apr 2012

Primary Stress Responses Of Common Carp, Cyprinus Carpio Exposed To Copper Toxicity, Mathan Ramesh, Ahmed Mustafa, Sathyanarayanan Senthil Kumaran, Chokkalingam Kavith, Monoharan Saravanan

Ahmed Mustafa Dr.

Copper is a heavy metal, and an aquatic pollutant, known for its bio-accumulative and non-biodegradable properties. In the aquatic ecosystems, acute and sublethal concentrations of copper may be linked to a variety of effects. Recently, hormones, particularly those regulating vital functions, such as osmoregulation, energy metabolism, and reproduction, may be used as potential biomarkers for sublethal toxicity studies. In the present study, the potential effect of a heavy metal—copper on hormonal changes (cortisol and prolactin) in an economically important fresh-water fish—common carp, Cyprinus carpio, was examined.


Effects Of Iodized Feed On Stress Modulation In Steelhead Trout, Oncorhynchus Mykiss (Walbaum), Monica Gensic, Patrick Wissing, Timothy Keefe, Ahmed Mustafa Apr 2012

Effects Of Iodized Feed On Stress Modulation In Steelhead Trout, Oncorhynchus Mykiss (Walbaum), Monica Gensic, Patrick Wissing, Timothy Keefe, Ahmed Mustafa

Ahmed Mustafa Dr.

In the aquaculture industry, the physiological systems of fish can be chronically stressed by various biological, chemical and physical factors. Chronic stress leads to a decrease in the overall health and growth of the fish, making them more prone to diseases. Dietary iodine has been shown to reduce this stress response in chickens and increase disease resistance in dairy cattle, but the mechanisms by which iodine affects stress resistance and immunocompetency is not completely understood and has not been extensively studied in fish. This study investigated the effects of iodized feed as a nutritional supplement in relation to stress modulation …


Teaching Stress Physiology Using Zebrafish (Danio Rerio), Michael Cooper, Shree Dhawale, Ahmed Mustafa Apr 2012

Teaching Stress Physiology Using Zebrafish (Danio Rerio), Michael Cooper, Shree Dhawale, Ahmed Mustafa

Ahmed Mustafa Dr.

A straightforward and inexpensive laboratory experiment is presented that investigates the physiological stress response of zebrafish after a 5 °C increase in water temperature. This experiment is designed for an undergraduate physiology lab and allows students to learn the scientific method and relevant laboratory techniques without causing significant stress to animals. An additional experimental design and a set of additional questions for lab report are also included.

Estimating The Cost Of Sea Lice To Salmon Aquaculture In Atlantic Canada, Ahmed Mustafa, Wimal Rankadua, Pat Campbell Apr 2012

Estimating The Cost Of Sea Lice To Salmon Aquaculture In Atlantic Canada, Ahmed Mustafa, Wimal Rankadua, Pat Campbell

Ahmed Mustafa Dr.

Parasitic sea lice are serious problems in aquaculture. The true cost of these parasites is unknown. We demonstrate the economic burden imposed by sea lice, so that researchers, aquatic specialists, and policy makers can approximate the economic cost of this problem and work towards developing alternative control methods.
