Abstract

Being aware of the health condition of the biological material in a fish farm allows us to establish the preventive measures required to prevent spreading of a disease and the treatment to be applied in case that a mass disease occurs. That is why, to know the normal value of the serical glycemia, the total protein and the protein fractions in serum enables us to differentiate the normal physiological condition of the fish material under research from the eventual pathological modifications having occurred due to the defence reaction of the organism. The level of the serical glycemia, represents a high value marker indicator of the stress condition, while the level of total protein in serum is, first of all, a synthetical indicator of the nutritional condition of the organism. Most of the diseases have but little influence on the concentration of the total protein in the blood, but some influence on certain protein fractions, and they alter the ratio between albumins and globulins. A decrease below 0.3 in value of the ratio albumins/globulins in serum is significant for the health condition of fish.
