Abstract
Hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀×E. lanceolatus ♂) (mean weight 27.3±3.8 g, mean length 11.6±0.7 cm) were exposed to waterborne nitrite at 0, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1600mg L-1 for 96 hours. The hematocrit and hemoglobin values were significantly decreased by exposure to 100 mg L-1 and 400 mg L-1, respectively. In plasma components, no significant change was observed in magnesium. Glucose was significantly increased by 200 and 400 mg L-1 nitrite but reduced by 800 mg L-1. Cholesterol was significantly decreased by 400 mg L-1 nitrite, but there was no significant change in total protein. GPT(glutamic pyruvate transaminase) was significantly increased by exposure to 200 and 400mg L-1. ALP(Alkaline phosphatase) was significantly increased by 800 mg L-1. The results of this study indicate that acute exposure to nitrite changes physiological parameters, such as hematological properties and plasma components.
