Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate the effects of starvation on serum biochemical indexes in 9-month-old large yellow croaker(Larimichthys crocea)at low temperature(13℃). Four hundred fishes were randomly divided into 2 groups, one group as control group was fed with formula feed, and the other as experimental group was starved. Eleven serum biochemical indexes were examined 30 d after experiment started. The results revealed that the UA, UREA, TC, and ALT of experimental group were extremely significantly higher than control group(P < 0. 01);while the ALB and AST of experimental group were extremely significantly lower than control group(P < 0. 01). Compared to control group, the TG and Ca2+ of experimental group were significantly higher(P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in both TP and Mg2+ between experimental and control group.

Key words: low temperature, starvation, large yellow croaker(Larimichthys crocea), serum biochemical indexes
