The present study was to investigate the effects of stocking density on the welfare of juvenile
Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) cultured in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) …

The prediction of the fertilizing ability of a sire or a given insemination dose is a primary aim
in the field of artificial insemination. Centrifugal countercurrent distribution analysis (CCCD) …

Abstract N-(1, 3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) is used as a
ubiquitous rubber antioxidant worldwide and has been shown to be potentially toxic to …

The biological actions of growth hormone (GH) are pleiotropic, including growth promotion,
energy mobilization, gonadal development, appetite, and social behavior. Accordingly, the …

The Growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) axis plays a central role as the
endocrine regulator of physiological functions in teleost fish and other vertebrates. The basic …

We aim to study the optimum salinity concentration for Nile tilapia, through the assessment
of its growth performance and the expression of its related genes (Gh and Igf-1), as well as …

The focus of this review is on the importance and regulation of fish growth hormone (GH),
during exposure to stress. Alterations in environmental salinity impose osmoregulatory …

Temperature is important for optimization of rearing conditions in aquaculture, especially
during the critical early life history stages of fish. Here, we experimentally investigated the …
