The present work evaluated the acute inflammatory response induced by carrageenin (500
µg) injection into the swim bladder of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) after consecutive
stress of capture. Fish were subjected to air exposition of 30 seconds repeatedly at 60
minutes intervals over six hours. The cellular inflammatory component was evaluated six
hours after either the carrageenan or the control (saline injection) by total and differential
counts. Cortisol and glucose were analyzed each hour. In the inflammatory exudate …
