Investigation of Oxidative Stress in Van Fish (Alburnus tarichi Guldenstadt, 1814) During Reproductive Migration
Abstract
Van Fish is an anadromous species of endemic to Turkey's largest lake. The fish migrate to the freshwater pouring from the alkaline Lake Van to the lake for the reproduction every year. Fish are exposed to different stress factors such as fasting, salt and pH adaptation during migration. In this study, total oxidant and antioxidant, lipid peroxidation and DNA damages in tissues such as gill, liver, plasma, brain and muscle were compared before and after reproductive migration. Total oxidant status (TOS) of the fish caught in the lake before reproduction, liver and kidney tissues, total antioxidant status (TAS), fish liver caught from freshwater, fish from the lake were observed to be high in the brain and kidney tissues (P <0.05). Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were found to be higher in the liver and kidney of the fish sampled from the freshwater and lake, respectively. (P <0.05). DNA damage was found only in the liver of fish sampled from freshwater. As a result, the reactions of the organs against stress effects encountered during reproduction migration were determined.
