In this study, we examined hematological, biochemical, and transcriptional responses in Atlantic salmon parr classified as hypoxia-tolerant or hypoxia-susceptible following an acute progressive hypoxia challenge. Time to loss of equilibrium and dissolved oxygen concentration at loss of equilibrium were recorded. Blood samples were analyzed for hematological parameters, serum metabolites, and the expression of genes related to hypoxia signaling, glycolysis, oxidative stress, and immune regulation. Hypoxia-tolerant fish maintained equilibrium significantly longer than susceptible fish (Tolerant: 224 \u00b1 18 min; Susceptible: 115 \u00b1 24 min) and tolerated lower dissolved oxygen concentrations (Tolerant: 1.89 \u00b1 0.09 mg L\u22121; Susceptible: 2.55 \u00b1 0.34 mg L\u22121) before losing their ability to maintain equilibrium. Tolerance varied among families, while body weight was not significantly associated with time to loss of equilibrium. Acute hypoxia altered erythrocyte-related parameters, increased serum lactate (p &lt; 0.0001), and reduced total protein (p = 0.0148) in both phenotypes. At the transcriptional level, tolerant fish exhibited higher expression of hif1\u03b1 (p = 0.0012), k6pp (p = 0.0045) and il15 (p = 0.0159), along with reduced phd3 (p = 0.0317) expression, whereas susceptible fish showed increased anx1 expression. Taken together, our results showed that hypoxia tolerance in Atlantic salmon is associated with a coordinated blood response involving metabolic compensation and hypoxia-responsive signaling, supporting the use of blood as a practical tool for identifying resilient fish.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16162582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T16:12:11Z","timestamp":1787069531000},"page":"2582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Blood-Based Characterization of Hypoxia-Tolerant and Hypoxia-Susceptible Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Under Acute Hypoxic Stress"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Salinas-Parra","family":"Nicol\u00e1s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Gen\u00e9tica y Gen\u00f3mica Aplicada, Escuela de Ciencias Del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Avenida Universidad 330, Valpara\u00edso 2373223, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caballero","family":"Paz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Gen\u00e9tica y Gen\u00f3mica Aplicada, Escuela de Ciencias Del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Avenida Universidad 330, Valpara\u00edso 2373223, Chile"},{"name":"Programa de Doctorado en Acuicultura, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica del Norte and Universidad de Chile, Valpara\u00edso 2373223, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Romero","family":"Alfonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salmones Camanchaca S.A., Puerto Montt 5480000, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mart\u00ednez","family":"Karin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escuela de Tecnolog\u00eda M\u00e9dica, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Avenida Universidad 330, Valpara\u00edso 2373223, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soto","family":"Carlos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salmones Camanchaca S.A., Puerto Montt 5480000, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7717-8726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gallardo-Matus","family":"Jos\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Gen\u00e9tica y Gen\u00f3mica Aplicada, Escuela de Ciencias Del Mar, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valpara\u00edso, Avenida Universidad 330, Valpara\u00edso 2373223, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"340","DOI":"10.1080\/10454438.2014.959830","article-title":"Dissolved Oxygen Level and Stocking Density Effects on Growth, Feed Utilization, Physiology, and Innate Immunity of Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus","volume":"26","author":"Hagras","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
