Abstract
The effects of environmental temperature on certain humoral immune parameters in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) were studied. Serum samples were collected from captive cod, of wild origin, kept at different temperatures for 12 months. It was found that immunoglobulin and natural antibody levels increased with increasing temperature whereas the total serum protein concentration, anti-protease activity, iron concentration, unsaturated and total iron binding capacity decreased with increasing temperature. Haemolytic activity and percentage iron saturation also tended to decrease with increasing temperature although this was not statistically significant.Entities:
