Abstract:
In aquaculture, fluctuating water temperatures can act as a potent stressor, influencing the virulence and transmission dynamics of pathogenic bacteria, potentially triggering outbreaks and impacting fish health. The purpose of this work was to examine the impact of Shewanella spp. infection on hematological, biochemical, and antioxidant-immune parameters of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under different water temperatures. For this purpose, 180 fish were divided into 6 groups in triplicate (30 fish per group; 10 fish per replicate). Group 1 (G1), G2, and G3 were reared at varying water temperatures (22 ◦C, 28 ◦C, and 31 ◦C, respectively) without infection. While G4, G5, and G6 were IP-injected with 0.2 mL of Shewanella spp. (0.14 × 105) and reared at 22 ◦C, 28 ◦C, and 31 ◦C, respectively. Shewanella spp. infection induced significant lowering (p < 0.05) in hematological parameters (red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and packed cell volume%) and immuneantioxidant responses (phagocytic activity%, phagocytic index, lysozyme, nitric oxide), total antioxidant capacity, catalase, and reduced glutathione, especially at 22 ◦C. Moreover, a significant increase (p < 0.05) in the hepato-renal function indicators (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, urea, and creatinine), stress biomarkers (glucose and cortisol), malondialdehyde, and pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α) were the consequences of the Shewanella spp. infection, especially at 22 ◦C. The Shewanella spp. infection exhibited marked histopathological changes in the hepatic and renal tissues. Worthily, Shewanella spp. can cause detrimental alterations in Nile tilapia’s hematological, biochemical, and antioxidantimmune parameters at various water temperatures, but the major detrimental changes were observed at a water temperature of 22 ◦C. Consequently, we can conclude that the infection dynamics of Shewanella spp. are exaggerated at 22 ◦C. These outcomes could help in understanding the nature of such an infection in Nile tilapia.
