Adverse effects of thermal pollution on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): unveiling the roles of heat shock proteins and acute-phase proteinsMette

Key Points

• Heat shock proteins and acute-phase proteins are significantly affected by thermal pollution in rainbow trout.
• An increase in temperature correlates with elevated levels of stress markers, with a noted rise in heat shock protein expression.
• Observational analysis compared physiological responses of rainbow trout to different thermal conditions in a controlled environment.
• Findings highlight the ecological implications of thermal pollution on aquatic species and the need for environmental management.
