Little is known about whether glucocorticoids (GC) and GC responsiveness vary on a diel basis in the wild, especially for fish. Using bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Rafinesque, 1819) as a model freshwater teleost fish, we tested whether baseline concentration and stress responsiveness of GCs (i.e., plasma glucose and cortisol) varied over a 24 h period. Blood samples from lake-dwelling wild bluegill were obtained across six periods representing a complete circadian cycle to determine GC levels in newly captured fish (i.e., within 3 min of capture; baseline), the maximum value (maximum) 45 min following exposure to a standardized aerial exposure stressor, and determining responsiveness (by subtracting minimum from maximum). Our results revealed that baseline glucose concentration did not vary on a diel basis, whereas baseline cortisol concentration did. Maximum and stress-induced glucose responsiveness varied significantly among several time periods with lowest values recorded at midnight and higher values at mid-day. Maximum and stress-induced cortisol responsiveness were consistent across time periods. Collectively, these data suggest that baseline concentrations and stress-induced values of GCs in a freshwater temperate teleost fish tend to be consistent across diel periods such that there is apparently an absence of strong GC diel patterns.
