Hypoxia generally refers to a dissolved oxygen (DO) level that is less than 2–3 mg/L. With ongoing global warming and environment pollution, environmental or geological studies showed hypoxia frequently occurs in global aquatic systems including ocean, river, estuaries and coasts. A preliminary study was performed to evaluate hypoxia tolerant of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with parameters of mortality, behavior, endocrine and metabolite, identifying three DO levels including normoxia (Ctrl, 7.0 mg/L), non-lethal hypoxia (NH, 4.5 mg/L) and lethal hypoxia (LH, 3.0 mg/L). Furthermore, trout was treated by Ctrl, NH and LH for six hours to mimic the acute hypoxia in wild and/or farming conditions. A significantly higher mortality was observed in LH group. Trout of NH and LH showed stressful responses with unnormal swimming, increased serum cortisol and up-regulated gill hif1α transcription. Despite trout of NH and LH increased the oxygen delivery abilities by increasing the serum hemoglobin levels, the anerobic metabolism were inevitably observed with increased lactate. This study also showed a prolonged influence of NH and LH on growth after 30-days’ recovery. Based on RNA-Seq data, different expression genes (DEGs) associated with stress, apoptosis, antioxidant, chaperone, growth, calcium and vitamin D metabolism were identified. Enrichment analysis showed DEGs were clustered in osteoclast differentiation, apoptosis and intracellular signaling transduction pathways. Results further showed NH and LH significantly decreased bone calcium content and disrupted the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor (GH-IGF) axis. Our study might contribute to a better understanding of the effects of hypoxia on rainbow trout.
