Stress Factors in Aquaculture

What is Stress ?

• Stress is any condition that causes physical or mental discomfort that results in the release of stress-related hormones or results in specific physiological responses.

• Stress can be physical, psychological, or environmental.

• Stress can either be short and sudden, or long and chronic.

• Mild, short-term stress has few serious health effects, but long-term stress or severe, short-term stress contribute to many of the illnesses and deaths in aquarium fish.

Effect of Stress on Fish’s and Shrimp’s Health • Short-term stress will cause an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration • The fish can only maintain these altered states for a short period of time and then they will adapt or the stress will become chronic.

• In addition to having a negative effect on growth, reproduction, and digestion, chronic stress will also lower the ability of the immune system to respond effectively and fully.

• Powered immune response is what allows parasites, bacteria, and fungi to infect a stressed fish and cause disease and death.

Causes of Stress • Elevated Ammonia • Elevated Nitrate • Improper PH level • Fluctuation in Temperature • Improper Salinity • Low Oxygen level • Medication and Water treatments • Harassment from Other Fish

How To Eliminate Stress • One can limit or prevent many causes of stress.

• Acute stress is more obvious and needs to be addressed very quickly.

Chronic stress is often not visible.

• One should maintain the Ammonia and Nitrate level in the water.

• Maintain proper PH Level of the water.

• Maintain the DO in the water by using good aeration technique.
