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 …

Drosophila melanogaster is a model genetic organism with an exceptional hypoxia
tolerance relative to mammals. Forward genetic, microarray, and P-element manipulations …

Acoustic noise is known to have a variety of detrimental effects on many animals, including
humans, but surprisingly little is known about its impacts on foraging behaviour, despite the …

Repetitive aquaculture-related protocols may act as cyclic stressors that induce chronic
stress in cultured fish. The sea bass is particularly sensitive to stressful conditions and the …

Recent research has shown the possibility of pain perception in fish; therefore, the use of
analgesia or “painkillers” should be considered for invasive procedures. However, there is …

Social behavior can influence physiological systems dramatically yet the sensory cues
responsible are not well understood. Behavior of male African cichlid fish, Astatotilapia …

To understand fully the biology of ghrelin, it is important to know the evolutionary history of
ghrelin and its receptor. Phylogenetic and comparative genomic studies of mammalian and …

Elevated stress experienced by a mother can compromise both her own reproductive
success and that of her offspring. In this study, we investigated whether chronically stressed …

In this study, we explored the growth, survival, and potential population-level effects of short-
term experimentally induced stress in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Cortisol …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) is central in the stress response but also modulates
several behaviors including anxiety-related behaviors and aggression. In this study, juvenile …
