Tissue compensatory metabolic profiles in Tilapia mossambica (Peters) on acclimation to sublethal acidic and alkaline media. Gill glycogen metabolism.
Freshwater Fish, Tilapia mossambica (Peters) was acclimated to sublethal acidic and alkaline media and branchial tissue glycogen metabolism was studied. In acidic media, the glycogenolysis is elevated in the tissues and glycolysis is suppressed. In contrast, in alkaline media, the tissue glycolytic pathway is accelerated with accumulation of organic acids. In both the cases tissue had elevated G-6-PDH activity indicating stress conditions on the tissue metabolism. The tissue compensatory changes provided survival value to the fish under altered pH media.
