This review deals with the gonadal masculinization induced by thermal stress in fish with
focus on the action of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) as this mechanism key …

Besides the well-known function of thyroid hormones (THs) for regulating metabolism, it has
recently been discovered that THs are also involved in testicular development in mammalian …

Hypoxia is amongst the most widespread and pressing problems in aquatic environments.
Here we demonstrate that fish (Oryzias melastigma) exposed to hypoxia show reproductive …

In recent years, natural and anthropogenic factors have increased aquatic hypoxia the world
over. In most organisms, the cellular response to hypoxia is mediated by the master …

Human activities have been exerting widespread stress and environmental risks in aquatic
ecosystems. Environmental stress, including temperature rise, acidification, hypoxia, light …

Tropical inland fishes are predicted to be especially vulnerable to thermal stress because
they experience small temperature fluctuations that may select for narrow thermal windows …

Cichlid fishes are champion caregivers that protect, clean, aerate, and sometimes even feed
their young. This tropical fish family's extensive species radiation combined with great …

As the end of the continuous event, environmental sex determination (ESD) is considered as
a counterpart of genotypic sex determination (GSD), with GSD plus environmental effects …

Vast stretches of open water bodies are gradually becoming hypoxic as a result of depletion
of oxygen levels mainly due to various human anthropogenic activities. This problem of …

The co-occurrence of hypoxia and xenobiotics is extremely common in natural
environments, highlighting the necessity to elicit their interaction on aquatic toxicities. In the …
