This study aimed to assess the extent to which chasing, handling and confining Oncorhynchus mykiss to a small respirometer chamber during respirometric experiments is stressful and affects metabolic measurements. The study observed increased cortisol levels in animals tested using a chase protocol and subsequent intermittent-flow respirometry, suggesting that this procedural treatment may stress animals.
本研究旨在评估在呼吸测量实验期间追逐、处理虹鳟并将其限制在小型呼吸计室中对其造成应激的程度,以及这种处理对代谢测量的影响。该研究观察到,采用追逐方案和后续间歇流呼吸测量法进行测试的动物体内皮质醇水平升高,这表明这种实验处理可能会使动物产生应激反应。
