Serum Biochemical Parameter Levels in Different Freshwater Fish Species Cultured Under Controlled Conditions: Urea, Glucose, Creatinine, ALT, AST and ALP

Abstract

Aquaculture has become a rapidly growing and evolving sector. The sustainability of this growth largely depends on the cultivation of healthy fish individuals. In this context, monitoring the physiological status of fish is essential for aquaculture facilities. To ensure accurate assessments, species-specific biochemical reference values are required. This study aimed to establish reference ranges for key biochemical parameters—urea, glucose, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)—in adult individuals of three economically important fish species: common carp (Cyprinus carpio), Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The health status of the sampled individuals was confirmed through microbiological and hematological analyses. Results revealed statistically significant differences among the species for certain parameters. This study provides essential reference data for health assessments based on biochemical monitoring in aquaculture practices. It is further recommended that future studies focus on different life stages of these species to broaden the applicability of these findings.

Kontrollü Koşullarda Yetiştirilen Farklı Tatlısu Balıklarında Kan Biyokimyasal Parametre Değerleri: Üre, Glukoz, Kreatinin, ALT, AST ve ALP

Öz

Su ürünleri yetiştiriciliği, giderek büyüyen ve gelişen bir sektör haline gelmiştir. Bu büyümenin sürdürülebilirliği, sağlıklı balık bireylerinin yetiştirilmesiyle mümkündür. Bu bağlamda, üretim tesislerinde sağlıklı bireylerin fizyolojik durumlarının değerlendirilmesi vazgeçilmez bir ihtiyaçtır. Bu değerlendirmelerin yapılabilmesi için türlere özgü biyokimyasal referans değerlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışma, önemli ticari değere sahip üç balık türü olan sazan (Cyprinus carpio), Karaca mersin balığı (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) ve gökkuşağı alabalığında (Oncorhynchus mykiss), yetişkin bireylerden elde edilen üre, glukoz, kreatinin, alanin aminotransferaz (ALT), aspartat aminotransferaz (AST) ve alkalen fosfataz (ALP) gibi temel biyokimyasal parametrelerin referans değerlerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Balıkların sağlıklı bireyler olduğu ise mikrobiyolojik ve hematolojik testlerle doğrulanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, türler arasında bazı parametrelerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, yetiştiricilik faaliyetlerinde biyokimyasal izlemeye dayalı sağlık değerlendirmeleri için temel bir referans sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, gelecekte yapılacak çalışmaların bu türlerin farklı yaşam evrelerine odaklanması önerilmektedir.
