Salinity impose stress on the physiology of
the exposed freshwater fish population can modify their structure. In this
study some indicators of behavioral and physiological stress responses were
examined during exposure of Java barb (Barbonymus
gonionotus) to different saline concentrations. Based on the result of
median lethal salinity level (LC₅₀) (12.9ppt), one sub-lethal
(12ppt) and two lethal salinity levels (14ppt and 16ppt) were selected to study
the acute stress responses of fish for a period of 72h. A number of
physiological responses, such as disturbance in body fluid, alterations of
blood biochemical and hematological parameters and behavioral responses were
detected with increasing ambient salinity. Fish
exposed to different sub-lethal and lethal salinities exhibited clinical signs
agitated behavior, respiratory distress, abnormal nervous behavior and death
were recorded. From the present investigation, it was observed that
higher salinity may affect the physiological and behavioral stress responses in
freshwater fish.
