Abstrakt: To clarify the effects of spilled crude oil on fish bacterial disease resistance, rockfish ( Sebastes schlegeli) were exposed to Iranian Heavy crude oil (IHCO) and Streptomyces iniae in combination. Hepatic biotransformation enzymes (ethoxyresorufin O-de-ethylase, glutathione- S-transferase) and plasma biochemical parameters (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase and glucose) in fish exposed to IHCO were not significantly different from those in unexposed fish. The level of biliary 1-OH-pyrene and cytochrome P4501A mRNA expression increased in a dose-dependent manner with IHCO exposure. The interferon stimulated gene 15, interleukin- 1beta and cathepsin L were increased significantly in the liver in IHCO-exposed fish, but not dose-dependently, but the granulocyte colony stimulating factor was not related to IHCO exposure. The percentage mortality in fish following a single exposure to S. iniae was positively correlated with IHCO exposure concentration. We concluded that IHCO exposure exacerbates fish mortality following environmental bacterial infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
