Resumen

In this research, the dynamics of blood responses in Orthopristis rubra are analyzed addressing the impacts during capture, transport, and confinement-induced stress. Spanning 504 hours, the study captures the changes in hematological variables during the acclimatization of this species in artificial environments. The results obtained from two groups of fish, captured and examined with a four-month difference, support the reproducibility of the observed hematological changes. Notable fluctuations in parameters such as total hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and white blood cell count highlight acute stress responses in the initial hours, followed by stabilization, indicative of a successful adjustment to the challenges posed by captivity. These reliable indicators of acclimatization are crucial for assessing the well-being of fish in artificial environments. Critical hydrological variations, including oxygen levels and temperature disparities, significantly impact hematological parameters. The fish's capacity to respond and maintain elevated values post-acclimatization emphasizes their ability to fine-tune physiological mechanisms. The study not only enhances our understanding of O. rubra's responses but also lays a foundation for future investigations into the underlying mechanisms governing stress and acclimatization in fish
