Effect of relammal (diazepam) on free fatty acid (FFA) level in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) plasma under thermal stress

Abstract

The aim of this work was to determine the effect of an abrupt growth in temperature (from 24 to 35°C) on the FFA level in carp plasma, for the fish kept in water without and with Relanimal at concentration of 0.5 ml/l. It was noted, for the fish kept in pure water, the FFA level in fish plasma to decrease, respectively, by 20 and 70% after 15 and 30 min. exposure to increased temperature. With the Relanimal added the FFA in carp plasma, decreased by 5.4 and 10.8% respectively, after 15 and 30 min. exposure.
