Blood lactate loads of redthroat emperor Lethrinus miniatus associated with angling stress and exhaustive exercise
journal contribution
posted on 2013-11-01, 00:00 authored by L M Currey, M R Heupel, C A Simpfendorfer, Timothy ClarkTimothy ClarkBaseline, post-angling and maximum attainable blood lactate concentrations were measured for the fishery species redthroat emperor Lethrinus miniatus to gain insight into the condition of fish released following c. 30 s angling and <45 s air exposure. Mean ± S.D. baseline blood lactate was 1·5 ± 0·6 mmol l⁻¹, which increased and plateaued around 6 mmol l⁻¹ at 15-30 min post-angling. These values were significantly lower than those obtained from fish maximally exhausted with a prolonged chase and air exposure protocol following capture (10·9 ± 1·8 mmol l⁻¹), suggesting that L. miniatus is not maximally exhausted during standard angling practices.
