Abstract
Overcoming a stress situation, such as hypoxia episodes, which involve an allostatic load, will depend on the ability of fish to modulate physiological and biochemical systems to maintain homeostasis. The aim of the study was to determine the integrated stress response after acute hypoxia of the rainbow trout considering the different elements and areas of the stress response: systemic and mucosal, local and global, and from the systemic hypothalamic–pituitary–interrenal axis to skin mucosa. For this purpose, trout were subjected to acute hypoxia (dissolved O2 down to 2 mg/L) for 1 h and then recovered and sampled at 1, 6, and 24 h after reoxygenation. Physiological responses were significantly affected by hypoxic stress and their interaction with time after the challenge, being significant for plasma lactate and cortisol levels, in both plasma and skin mucus. At the central brain level, only trh expression was modulated 1 h after hypoxia which indicates that brain function is not heavily affected by this particular stress. Unlike the brain, the head kidney and skin were more affected by hypoxia and reoxygenation. In the head kidney, an upregulation in the expression of most of the genes studied (gr, il1β, il6, tgfβ1, lysozyme, caspase 3, enolase, hif-1, myoglobin, sod2, gpx, gst, and gsr) took place 6 h after recovery, whereas only hsp70 and il10 were upregulated after 1 h. On the contrary, in the skin, most of the analyzed genes showed a higher upregulation during 1 h after stress suggesting that, in the skin, a local response took place as soon as the stressor was detected, thus indicating the importance of the skin in the building of a stress response, whereas the interrenal tissue participated in a later time point to help prevent further alteration at the central level. The present results also show that, even though the stressor is a physical/environmental stressor, all components of the biological systems participate in the regulation of the response process and the recovery process, including neuroendocrine, metabolism, and immunity.

Abstract
This discussion is on immune response to Amyloodinium ocellatum, Cryptobia salmositica, Trypanoplasma borreli and Trypanosoma carassii. Piscidin and histone-like proteins enhance innate resistance to Amyloodinium. Fish that are naturally resistant to Cryptobia and Trypanoplasma can be bred. Cryptobia resistance in charr is controlled by a dominant Mendelian locus and protection is via the Alternative Pathway of Complement Activation. Studies on Cryptobia-tolerant charr may lead to production of transgenic Cryptobia-tolerant salmon. Innate response to T. borreli is associated with NO in macrophages. Transferrin regulates resistance and carp have been bred for transferrin genotypes. Recovered fish are protected from homologous challenge, and complement fixing antibodies are crucial in protection. Studies on antigens in T. carassii may lead to a vaccine. There are two vaccines against cryptobiosis; a single dose of the attenuated vaccine protects salmonids. On challenge fish inoculated with the metalloprotease-DNA vaccine do not have the disease and they recover faster.

Abstract
Cell membranes act as an interface between the interior of the cell and the exterior environment and facilitate a range of essential functions including cell signalling, cell structure, nutrient uptake and protection. It is composed of a lipid bilayer with integrated proteins, and the inner leaflet of the lipid bilayer comprises of liquid ordered (Lo) and liquid disordered (Ld) domains. Lo microdomains, also named as lipid rafts are enriched in cholesterol, sphingomyelin and certain types of proteins, which facilitate cell signalling and nutrient uptake. Lipid rafts have been extensively researched in mammals and the presence of functional lipid rafts was recently demonstrated in goldfish, but there is currently very little knowledge about their composition and function in fish. Therefore a protocol was established for the analysis of lipid rafts and membranous lipids in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) tissues. Twelve lipids were identified and analysed in the Ld domain of the membrane with the most predominant lipids found in all tissues being; triglycerides, cholesterol, phosphoethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. Four lipids were identified in lipid rafts in all tissues analysed, triglycerides (33-62%) always found in the highest concentration followed by cholesterol (24-32%), phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Isolation of lipid rafts was confirmed by identifying the presence of the lipid raft associated protein flotillin, present at higher concentrations in the detergent resistant fraction. The data provided here build a lipid library of important carp tissues as a baseline for further studies into virus entry, protein trafficking or environmental stress analysis.

Abstract
Tyrosine nitration is a hallmark for nitrosative stress caused by the release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species by activated macrophages and neutrophilic granulocytes at sites of inflammation and infection. In the first part of the study, we used an informative host-parasite animal model to describe the differential contribution of macrophages and neutrophilic granulocytes to in vivo tissue nitration. To this purpose common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were infected with the extracellular blood parasite Trypanoplasma borreli (Kinetoplastida). After infection, serum nitrite levels significantly increased concurrently to the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression. Tyrosine nitration, as measured by immunohistochemistry using an anti-nitrotyrosine antibody, dramatically increased in tissues from parasite-infected fish, demonstrating that elevated NO production during T. borreli infection coincides with nitrosative stress in immunologically active tissues. The combined use of an anti-nitrotyrosine antibody with a panel of monoclonal antibodies specific for several carp leukocytes, revealed that fish neutrophilic granulocytes strongly contribute to in vivo tissue nitration most likely through both, a peroxynitrite- and an MPO-mediated mechanism. Conversely, fish macrophages, by restricting the presence of radicals and enzymes to their intraphagosomal compartment, contribute to a much lesser extent to in vivo tissue nitration. In the second part of the study, we examined the effects of nitrosative stress on the parasite itself. Peroxynitrite, but not NO donor substances, exerted strong cytotoxicity on the parasite in vitro. In vivo, however, nitration of T. borreli was limited if not absent despite the presence of parasites in highly nitrated tissue areas. Further, we investigated parasite susceptibility to the human anti-trypanosome drug Melarsoprol (Arsobal), which directly interferes with the parasite-specific trypanothione anti-oxidant system. Arsobal treatment strongly decreased T. borreli viability both, in vitro and in vivo. All together, our data suggest an evolutionary conservation in modern bony fish of the function of neutrophilic granulocytes and macrophages in the nitration process and support the common carp as a suitable animal model for investigations on nitrosative stress in host-parasite interactions. The potential of T. borreli to serve as an alternative tool for pharmacological studies on human anti-trypanosome drugs is discussed.

Abstract
Trypanoplasma borreli is an extracellular blood parasite of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) transmitted by fish-biting leeches. The infestation with this parasite in juvenile carp may range between 75% and 100%, especially in fish recovering from the first hibernation period. T. borreli is perfectly adapted to its prolonged survival in a cyprinid host. Elevated numbers of activated neutrophils in peripheral blood and tissues are reported during T. borreli infection, but in context of the disease, the direct reason for elevated neutrophil numbers and their role during the infection remain unclear. In this study, a quantitative transmigration system, permitting the harvest of highly pure (> or = 97%) neutrophil populations was applied to investigate the modulation of carp neutrophil functions during T. borreli infection. We demonstrate time-dependent kinetics of a serum-induced down-regulation of neutrophil chemotaxis and an up-regulation of ROS production during the course of infection. With highly pure neutrophil populations, we could show that this divergent alteration of neutrophil functions was neither caused by T. borreli metabolites nor by the parasite itself. Moreover, when added to highly purified neutrophils, parasite metabolites did not alter the leukotriene B4-induced neutrophil chemotaxis nor the Staphylococcus aureus-induced ROS production. We conclude that the haemoparasite T. borreli does not interact with neutrophils directly, but indirectly modulates their functions via serum factors induced by parasite interaction with other components of the immune system.

Abstract
The cellular innate immune response of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) against the myxozoan Enteromyxum leei was studied. Enteromyxosis was transmitted by maintaining uninfected fish (recipients) together with infected animals. A group of fish not exposed to the infection served as controls. After 10, 22, 38, 52 and 108 days, control and recipient fish were sampled and leucocyte subpopulations and cellular immune responses (leucocyte peroxidases, phagocytosis, respiratory burst and cytotoxicity) of the head-kidney leucocytes were determined. The percentage of acidophilic granulocytes was significantly lower in non-parasitized and parasitized recipient fish than in control fish after 22 days but no significant differences were seen between non-parasitized and parasitized recipient animals. The leucocyte peroxidase content, phagocytosis and respiratory burst activity were seen to have decreased significantly at different sampling times in both non-parasitized and parasitized recipient fish with respect to the controls, whereas cytotoxic activity was up to 2.3 times higher than in control fish. Within the recipient group, little difference was observed in the studied parameters between non-parasitized and parasitized fish. These data demonstrate that cytotoxic activity may have an important role in the defence of gilthead seabream against the myxosporean E. leei. Immunological implications of E. leei infections are discussed.

Abstract
SUMMARY
We established that corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), CRH-binding protein (CRH-BP) and CRH-receptor 1 (CRH-R1) are expressed in the gills and skin of common carp Cyprinus carpio, an early vertebrate. Immunoreactive CRH was detected in macrophage-like cells in gills and skin, in fibroblasts in the skin and in endothelial cells in the gills. The involvement of the CRH system in gills and skin was investigated in response to infection and in an acute restraint stress paradigm. Carp were infected with the protozoan leech-transmitted blood flagellate Trypanoplasma borreliand subjected to acute restraint stress by netting for 24 h. The expression of CRH-BP and CRH-R1 genes in the gills and in the skin is downregulated after both infection and restraint. Thus the peripheral CRH system reacts to infection and stress. The gills and skin separate the internal from the external environment and are permanently exposed to stress and pathogens. Because of their pivotal role in maintaining the homeostatic equilibrium,these organs must act locally to respond to diverse stresses. Clearly, the CRH system is involved in the response of the integument to diverse stresses at the vulnerable interface of the internal and external milieu.

Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., affected by amoebic gill disease (AGD) are resistant to re-infection. These observations were based upon a comparison of gross gill lesion abundance between previously infected and naïve control fish. Anecdotal evidence from Atlantic salmon farms in southern Tasmania suggests that previous infection does not protect against AGD as indicated by a lack of temporal change in freshwater bathing intervals. Experiments were conducted to determine if previous infection of Atlantic salmon with Neoparamoeba sp. would provide protection against challenge and elucidate the immunological basis of any protection. Atlantic salmon were infected with Neoparamoeba sp. for 12 days then treated with a 4-h freshwater bath. Fish were separated into two groups and maintained in either sea water or fresh water for 6 weeks. Fish were then transferred to one tank with a naïve control group and challenged with Neoparamoeba sp. Fish kept in sea water had lower mortality rates compared with first time exposed and freshwater maintained fish, however, these data are believed to be biased by ongoing mortalities during the sea-water maintenance phase. Phagocyte function decreased over exposure time and freshwater maintained fish demonstrated an increased ability to mount a specific immune response. These results suggest that under the challenge conditions herein described, antigen exposure via infection does not induce protection to subsequent AGD.
