Understanding baseline levels of physiological stress tolerance from excessive exercise in a holobenthic octopus species, Octopus pallidus

Cephalopods receive a great deal of attention due to their socioeconomically important fisheries and aquaculture industries as well their unique biological features. However, basic information about their physiological responses under stress conditions is lacking. This study investigated the impact of a simple stressor, exercise to exhaustion, on the activity levels of antioxidant enzymes and the concentrations of molecules involved in oxidative stress response in the pale octopus (Octopus pallidus). Eight biochemical assays were measured in the humoral (plasma) and cellular (hemocyte) components of O. pallidus haemolymph, the invertebrate analogue to vertebrate blood. Overall, exercise resulted in an increase in activity of plasma catalase (CAT) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and the decrease in activity of plasms glutathione reductase (GR). In the hemocytes, the exercise elicited a different response, with a reduction in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), GR, and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and a reduction in nitric oxide (NO) concentration. Malondialdehyde (MDA) activity was similar in the plasma and haemocytes in control and exercised treatments, indicating that exercise did not induce lipid peroxidation. These results provide an important baseline for understanding oxidative stress in octopus, with exercise to exhaustion serving as a simple stressor which will ultimately inform our ability to detect and understand physiological responses to more complex stressors.
