Effect of Stress Factors on the Coagulogram of Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio

Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of the coagulogram of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) following stress induced through acute hypoxia within 72 hours. In addition, stress markers (glucose, cortisol, hemoglobin) were analyzed on the basis of correlation and regression. It has been established that by the increase in thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and an increase in the level of fibrinogen in fish blood by the 4th day of the experiment, that the coagulation processes were accelerated under the influence of hypoxic stress. Also, the dynamics of the stress markers corresponds to the stages of the classical adaptation syndrome. It has been concluded that any of them can be used to indicate stressful conditions.
