Abstract: 【Objective】To explore the effects of salinity on growth performance,gill ATPase activities,and liver antioxidant function in farmed chum salmon(Oncorhynchus keta).【Methods】Four treatments were set up including freshwater(CK),salinity 8‰,salinity 16‰ and salinity 24‰. The growth performance of chum salmon(2-year-old) after 42 d were calculated,and the gill ATPase activities,liver superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX),acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities,as well as the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde(MDA) content in the liver were measured.【Results】The final body mass,body mass growth rate and specific growth rate of chum salmon in salinity 8‰ treatment were 374.95 g,29.41% and 0.61 %/d,respectively,significantly higher (P<0.05) than CK and salinity 24‰ treatment. Salinity 16‰ treatment had no significant difference (P>0.05) in final body mass,body mass growth rate and specific growth rate,compared with other treatments. Chum salmon gill Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase activities increased first and then decreased with the increase of salinity. Among them,salinity 8‰ treatment had the highest enzyme activities of 1.89 U/mg and 1.46 U/mg,respectively. With the increase of salinity,the activities of SOD and CAT in liver increased first and then decreased,with salinity 16‰ treatment being the highest at 244.49 U/mg and 34.16 U/mg,respectively. The activity of GSH-PX decreased first and then increased with the increase of salinity,with CK,salinity 8‰,and salinity 16‰ treatment significantly higher(P<0.05) than salinity 24‰ treatment. With the increase of salinity,ACP activity increased first and then decreased with no significant differences(P>0.05) between the treatments. With the increase of salinity,AKP activity gradually decreased with CK significantly higher(P<0.05) than other treatments. The content of MDA in CK was significantly higher(P<0.05) than that in other treatments. And there was no significant difference(P>0.05) in T-AOC among the treatments.【Conclusion】The suitable aquaculture water salinity for 2-year-old chum salmon was between 8‰ and 16‰.
