Salinity stress, enhancing basal and induced immune responses in striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (Sauvage)

During moderate chronic saline stress, juvenile striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, S.) failed to osmoregulate and body osmolality increased. In the kidney proteome, salinity stressor enhanced several markers of the immune response and may end up to higher susceptibility after exposure to virulent bacteria.202
