Abstract

Ambloplites rupestris ELISA heat shock cognate protein Heat shock protein hsc/hsp-70 Ictalurus natalis Pimephales promelas Salmo trutta seasonal variation
1. 1.|Fish ( Pimephales promelas, Salmo trutta, Ictalurus natalis and Ambloplites rupestris) respond to seasonal changes in their environment by synthesizing heat shock proteins with a molecular weight of approximately 70 Kd (hsc/hsp-70). 2. 2.|Lowest levels of hsc/hsp-70 measured with ELISA occurred in winter, followed by a high level in spring, a significant decrease in summer and another in fall. 3. 3.|Caution must be applied in developing heat shock proteins as biomarkers so that their presence in organisms under “normal” conditions is not misinterpreted as an indication that the organisms are stressed.
