Summary: | ABSTRACT. Investigations were carried out on Siberian sturgeon (A. baeri Brandt) fry rearing in recir-culation systems conditions. Outer membrane antigen of A. salmonicida was administered in the single intra peritoneal injection. Test of NBT reduction (both cytochemical and spectrophotometric assay), li-sozyme activity, phagocytic ability of PMN neutrophils, levels of globulins and total protein, titres of natural and specific antibodies were determined during six weeks after injection. The results obtained showed significant elevation of the cellular and humoral response indices; production of specific anti-bodies began in the first week yet. |
