Changes in Some Serum Biochemical Values of Yellowfin Sea Bream (Acanthopagrus latus) in Mahshahr Creeks (Persian Gulf)

Biochemical indices are indicators measured in a biological system which can be related to exposure to a xenobiotics compound. In the current paper some serum biochemical parameters in five creeks of Mahshahr region in North West of Persian Gulf with different levels of pollutant were detected to characterize biochemical response of Yellowfin seabream to environmental pollutant and undesirable materials. The quantitative determination of serum glucose was carried out using commercially available diagnostic Experimental Protocols kits by the glucose oxidase method. Serum total protein levels were determined with bovine serum albumin serving as standard. Values recorded for activity of total protein show depletion in infected creeks with respect to clean creek, however, there was no significant variation. Glucose significantly increased in infected that pollutants have direct correlation with fish serum biochemical abnormalities and also indicated that the different in environmental condition of marine ecosystems may cause several changes in the serum biochemical parameters of the studied fish.
