- Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of high salinity on the some physiological parameters of common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) which gradually exposed to salt concentrationsof 5, 10 and 15 g/liter, as well as tap water (control 0.1g/liter) for 90 days .80 fish wererandomly distributed on eight glass tanks with 2 replicates as 10 fish / replicate at averageweight of 15 ± 3 g to study the effect of salinity on the Alkaline phosphatase enzyme(ALP), ALT and AST enzymes. Fish were fed during the trial on commercial diet with 31.9% protein content. Results showed an increase in the alkaline phosphatase to 43.12, 57.69 and 82.35IU/L when the salinity increased to 5, 10 and 15 g/l respectively, compared with the control treatment (34.17 IU/L). Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) also increased to 84.18, 103.21 and 125.47 IU/L, when the salinity increased to 5, 10 and 15 g/l respectively, in comparison with control treatment (66.06 IU/L), while Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) increased to 53.25, 69.59 and 81.02 IU/L, when the salinityincreased to 5, 10 and 15 g/l respectively, in comparison with control treatment (36.71 IU/L).
