Present studies yielded the following conclusions: The transport caused statistically significant rise of ACTII and cor tisol concentrations in the blood of carp reared in the thermal effluent channel. Usage of glass tanks for accommodating the fish caused prolongation of the stress reaction and maintenance of high ACTII and cortisol levels beyond the 7-day period monitored in the present experiment.
