Water quality encompasses the water physical, biological, and chemical parameters. It
generally affects the fish growth and welfare. Thus, the success of a commercial aquaculture …

Fish are the most diversified group of vertebrates and, although progress has been made in
the past years, only relatively few fish species have been examined to date, with regards to …

Much of the understanding of the endocrine basis of stress in fish comes from studies of
cultured stocks of teleosts; there is comparatively little information on stress responses in …

Hypoxia is a critical issue in aquaculture especially in intensive aquaculture systems. Acute

A characteristic feature of the behavioural response to intensely acute or chronic stressors is
a reduction in appetite. In fish, as in other vertebrates, the corticotropin-releasing factor …

In recent years, natural and anthropogenic factors have increased aquatic hypoxia the world
