Dissolved oxygen
Sufficient dissolved oxygen is highly necessary to support normal metabolism, growth and immune function. Too high (Hyperoxia) or too low (Hypoxia) will cause physiologic stress, stagnated growth, reduced swimming capacity or ultimately lead to death.
​
Temperature
There is an inverse realtionship between DO and temperature, which means higher temperature = lower DO. Rapid temperature changes will cause metabolic changes and lower the immune system, leading to increased susceptibility to diseases and parasites.
​
G-force
High acceleration and impacts with hard surfaces can cause a pressure gradient in the brain and lead to blood vessels to burst and celebral hemorrhage to occur. In addition to head injuries, other parts of the fish are also highly susceptible to serious shock injuries, such as fins, scales and bones.
pH
The ocean acts as a buffer system, always in equilibrium around pH 8. However, high densities of fish can change the local level. High pH can cause osmotic stress and reduce uptake of essential nutrients. Low pH affects ion balance, metabolism, growth and reproductivety.
