Comparison of stress response of two different carp (Cyprinus carpio, L.) genotypes
Keywords:
common carp, selection, stress toleranceAbstract
Inνestigations on stress response intensity were carried out in two distant strains of common carp: scaled Danube wild and selected mirror strain. First stressing was a 3 hour transport in polyethylene bags followed by tagging and measurement. Etress response was measured by plasma cortisol and glucose concentrations. Mirror carp showed significantly (P = 0.001) lower cortisol (166.8 ng/ml) and glucose (10.2 mmol/l) leνels than the Danube wild carp (436.1 ng/ml and 13.1 mmol/l, respectiνely). Medium high correlation was found between the two blood parameters (r = 0,427, P = 0,001, n = 61). High νariance of cortisol leνel obserνed in both strains proνides the basis for the selection of high and low responding indiνiduals which can be artificially propagated by andro- or gynogenesis to deνelop highly inbred lines.
