Abstract
El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar el efecto de tres tipos de ambiente de transporte sobre el tiempo de aparición y progreso de los cambios autolíticos de muestras de alevines muertos, enviados para ser procesados para análisis histopatológico. Para ello se depositaron 300 cadáveres de alevines completos en tres ambientes de transporte: sumergidos agua a 4 °C, sumergidos agua a 15 °C y ambiente seco a 4 °C. Cada una hora, desde el tiempo cero hasta las 24 horas, grupos de 4 alevines por ambiente fueron fijados en formalina al 10% y procesados con la técnica histológica convencional de hematoxilina&eosina. En todos los grupos se determinó el tiempo de aparición de los cambios autolíticos en los distintos segmentos del riñón e hígado, clasificándose en cambios autolíticos tempranos, avanzados y autólisis completa. Se observó que los cambios autolíticos se evidencian primero en los hígados de los cadáveres a 4 °C en ambiente seco y al último en los cadáveres sumergidos en agua a 4 °C (1 y 6 horas, respectivamente). Respecto al riñón, los primeros cambios autolíticos se presentaron en cadáveres a 4 °C en ambiente seco y al último en los cadáveres sumergidos en agua a 4 °C (3 y 9 horas, respectivamente). De este estudio se concluye que de los tres ambientes de transporte comparados, el que conserva por más tiempo la estructura histológica y citológica de los tejidos de los peces para análisis histológico es la conservación sumergidos en agua a 4 °C, evidenciando el rol clave de la temperatura y humedad ambiental en el progreso de la autólisis de peces.
The aim of this work was to compare three types of transport conditions on the appearance and progress of autolytic changes in samples of dead fry sent to be processed for histopathological analysis. 300 whole fry corpses were subjected to three transport conditions: submerged in water at 4 °C, submerged in water at 15 °C and dry atmosphere at 4 °C. Every hour from 0 to 24 hours, groups of 4 fry per condition were fixed in 10% formalin and processed using the conventional hematoxylin and eosin stain technique (H&E). The appearance time of the autolytic changes in the different segments of the kidney and liver were determined in each group, classifying the changes as early autolytic, advanced autolytic and complete autolysis. It was observed that the autolytic changes appeared first in the livers of the corpses at 4 °C under dry condition while last ones to be affected were the corpses submerged in water at 4 °C (1 and 6 hours, respectively). The first autolytic changes appeared in the kidneys of the corpses at 4 °C in the dry atmosphere and the last in the corpses submerged in water at 4 °C (3 and 9 hours, respectively). It was concluded that out of the three transport conditions studied, the one preserving for longer the histological and cytological structure of the fish tissue for histological analysis was water preservation at 4 °C, demonstrating the key role of the temperature and atmospheric humidity in the progress of fish autolysis.
