Seasonal variation of the metal (Zn, Fe, Mn) and metallothionein concentrations in the liver cytosol of the European chub (Squalius cephalus L.)
Seasonal variations of biometric parameters as well as metal and protein concentrations were analyzed in the liver cytosol of indigenous European chub (Squalius cephalus L.). Fish sampling was carried out in the reproductive (spring) and non-reproductive period (autumn) in order to define parameters which are seasonally dependent. The specimens caught in the spring period had higher biometric (liver mass, condition and hepatosomatic indices) and some biochemical parameters (metallothionein (MT) and Mn) that are characteristic for the reproductive period. Contrary, Fe hepatic cytosolic concentrations were significantly lower in specimens from spring than in autumn period. Total cytosolic proteins, Cu and Cd concentrations were not seasonally dependent. Range of constitutive levels was determined for total cytosolic proteins (17.7 to 24.7 mg ml-1) from the whole set of data. Constitutive range of seasonally dependent parameters MT (207 to 337 μ g ml-1) and Mn (0.11 to 0.19 μ g ml-1) is based on the data from non-reproductive period. In order to avoid the interference of reproductive cycle on the level of selected biochemical parameters, it is recommended to perform chub sampling during non-reproductive period.
