Anthropomorphism, the use of human characteristics as a foundation for interpreting
behavior and mental capacities of animals, is a bias undermining our understanding of other …

Our current understanding of the corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) system distribution in
the teleost brain is restricted by limited immunohistochemical studies and a lack of complete …

The effects of growth hormone secretagogues (GHSs) on the teleost somatotropic axis are
poorly understood, particularly with respect to insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and the IGF …

The general consensus is that brain serotonin (5-HT) inhibits feed intake in teleost fishes
and other vertebrates. Dietary manipulations with the 5-HT precursor tryptophan (TRP) have …

Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and serotonin (5-HT) are strongly linked to stress and
anxiety in vertebrates. As a neuromodulator in the brain, CRF has anxiogenic properties …

Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tagging is a commonly used procedure to identify fish.
However, there is a lack of research on the short-term effects of such tagging. The purpose …

The full-length neuropeptide Y (NPY) cDNA of Chinese perch Siniperca chuatsi was 704 bp
in length, and contained a 300 bp open reading frame encoding a prepro-NPY with 99 …

This study investigated the recovery of locomotory activity in exhausted juvenile rainbow
trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss,∼ 6–10-cm fork length) in response to two conditions:(1) direct …

Three types of sequence variations—single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions
and deletions (indels), and short tandem repeats (STRs)—have been extensively reported in …

One of the most studied adaptation process is stress, that is a non-specific response of the
body to any threatening demand, which over time results in ''wear and tear''of the body …
