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 …

Abstract Farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) welfare and performance can be strongly
influenced by stress episodes caused by handling during farming practices. To better …

When Atlantic salmon parr migrate from fresh water towards the sea, they undergo extensive
morphological, neural, physiological and behavioural changes. Such changes have the …

Abstract Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (CRF) is one of the main mediators of the
Hypothalamic-Pituitary–Interrenal (HPI) axis to stress response. In Atlantic salmon, a …

Understanding how rearing environments influence the stress response is relevant to many
fish management practices. This is particularly relevant in aquaculture, where it is important …

Significant differences in mortality was observed among lines of rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) subjected to confinement stress shortly after their transfer …

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr were subjected to acute handling stresses and growth-
monitored for at least 30 days. In fish stressed twice daily, growth rate in weight was 61 …

Increased cortisol production and oxygen consumption are commonly used as indicators for
stress in most fish species. For comparative studies measuring acute stress responsiveness …

Stress in fish caused by physical disturbances encountered in aquaculture, such as
handling and transport, evokes a variety of responses that may be adaptive or maladaptive …

The magnitude of the cortisol response to a standardised stressor is a heritable trait in
salmonid fishes, and selection for stress responsiveness induces differences in both …
