Stress is an event that most animals experience and that induces a number of responses
involving all three regulatory systems, neural, endocrine and immune. When the stressor is …

Feed is one of the most important external signals in fish that stimulates its feeding behavior
and growth. The intake of feed is the main factor determining efficiency and cost, maximizing …

Previous reviews of stress, and the stress hormone cortisol, in fish have focussed on
physiology, due to interest in impacts on aquaculture production. Here, we discuss cortisol in …

Clove oil is an effective, local and natural anaesthetic. Many hatcheries and research
studies use clove oil to immobilize fish for handling, sorting, tagging, artificial reproduction …

Due to its small size, rapid generation time, powerful genetic systems, and genomic
resources, the zebrafish has emerged as an important model of vertebrate development and …

Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis, L) were subjected to different stressors to determine the
patterns of physiological response and recovery in this species. Fish were subjected to …

Combinations of stressors occur regularly throughout an animal's life, especially in
agriculture and aquaculture settings. If an animal fails to acclimate to these stressors, stress …

The homeostatic regulation of food intake relies on a complex network involving peripheral
and central signals that are integrated in the hypothalamus which in turn responds with the …

Fish held at high stocking densities are generally exposed to chronic stress situations that
impose severe energy demands and may predispose the fish to infection. Senegalese sole …
