Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in aquaculture to prevent and control fish mortality. It affects redox regulation, inflammatory and immune responses, and can cause oxidative stress.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in aquaculture to prevent and control fish mortality often associated with fungal, bacterial, and parasitic infections. Its main advantage by its reduced environmental impact. However, H2O2 affects redox regulation of cell survival and proliferation, controls inflammatory and immune responses, and is related to oxidative stress. Here we evaluated the behavioral response, opercular beats, and weight loss as stress indicators in captive-bred Hippocampus reidi seahorses exposed to four different concentrations of H2O2 (4.4 mM, 10.9 mM, 12.0 mM, and 13.0 mM). The lowest concentration (4.4 mM) was considered safe up to 60 min of exposure, with little impact on weight loss, behavior changes, and opercular beats. Conversely, H2O2 concentrations & GE;10.9 mM led to a high frequency of stress-associated behaviors (irregular swimming, pipe, and curled tail), severe alterations in locomotion and opercular beats, and were lethal at 12 mM and 13 mM. The lowest dose tested increased the locomotion time of seahorses by 55% and decreased benthic behavior by 47% compared to seahorses not exposed to H2O2. The opercular beats were increased in the presence of H2O2 following a dose-response curve. H2O2 exposure induced a significant decrease in the mean body weight of the seahorses in a dose-dependent manner. We conclude that H2O2 can be used as a potential treatment by immersion (i.e. bath) for H. reidi in a concentration of 4.4 mM for 60 min.
