Blodgass- og elektrolyttanalyse av regnbueørret, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Abstract

Abstract In this bachelor thesis, we investigated blood gas parameters and electrolytes in whole blood and plasma from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The aim was to assess the biochemical condition of the fish. The focus is on “loser fish”, individuals showing signs of chronic stress and a reduced ability to cope with environmental challenges (1). The study had two main objectives. First, to identify biochemical differences between healthy fish and loser fish by using blood gas analysis. Second, to evaluate how pre-analytical factors and analytical techniques affect the results. This was done to ensure reliable and comparable data. Blood samples were collected from O. mykiss at Hofseth Aqua AS, Tafjord facility, from both healthy and loser fish. Blood gas parameters, electrolytes, hematocrit (Hct), and derived values were analyzed using the ABL80 FLEX analyzer. The study also includes a comparison between venous whole blood and plasma, as well as the effects of plasma freezing. The results revealed biochemical differences between healthy fish and loser fish, specifically in pH, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂), and base excess (BE). These parameters suggest differences in metabolic status and acid-base regulation between the two groups. Furthermore, the analyses showed that blood gas parameters measured in plasma had lower values for pO₂ and pCO₂ compared to whole blood, likely due to the absence of hemoglobin in plasma. Although some parameters exhibited deviations after freezing, several electrolytes remained stable and may be suitable for future analyses. To obtain the most representative results, fresh whole blood samples should be used for blood gas and electrolyte measurement.

Sammendrag I denne bacheloroppgaven har vi undersøkt blodgassparametere og elektrolytter i fullblod og plasma hos Oncorhynchus mykiss (regnbueørret). Dette for å vurdere biokjemiske parametere i fisken. Fokuset er rettet mot taperfisk, individer som viser tegn til kronisk stress og redusert evne til å håndtere miljømessige utfordringer (1). Oppgaven har et todelt formål, først å belyse biokjemiske forskjeller mellom frisk fisk og taperfisk ved å benytte blodgassanalyser. Videre ble det vurdert hvordan preanalytiske faktorer og analyseteknikk påvirker resultatene for å sikre pålitelige og sammenlignbare resultater. Det ble tatt blodprøver fra O.mykiss, ved Hofseth Aqua AS, avdeling Tafjord fra både friske fisker og taperfisker. Blodgassparametere, elektrolytter, hematokrit (Hct) og deriverte parametere ble analysert med ABL80 FLEX. Studiet inkluderer også en sammenligning av venøst fullblod og plasma, i tillegg til effekten av frysing av plasma. Resultatene avdekket biokjemiske forskjeller mellom friske fisker og taperfisker, spesifikt for pH, partialtrykket av karbondioksid (pCO₂) og base excess (BE). Disse parameterne antyder ulikheter i metabolsk status og syre-baseregulering mellom de to fiskegruppene taper og friske. Videre viste analysene at blodgassparametere målt i plasma hadde lavere verdier for pO₂ og pCO₂ sammenlignet med fullblod, som skyldes fraværet av hemoglobin i plasma. Selv om enkelte parametere viste avvik etter frysing, forble flere elektrolytter stabile og kan trolig benyttes i fremtidig analyse. For mest representative resultat burde ferske fullblodsprøver benyttes ved blodgassanalyse og elektrolyttmålinger.
