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 …

Plasma glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) increase intermediary metabolism, which may be
reflected in whole-animal metabolic rate. Studies in fish, birds, and reptiles have shown that …

Proper functioning of the endocrine stress axis requires communication between the stress
axis and other regulatory mechanisms. We here describe an intimate interplay between the …

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of cortisol implantations on gonadal
development, sex steroid levels, and ovarian cortisol content in cultured great sturgeon …

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of chronic waterborne copper (Cu)
exposure on the acute stress-induced cortisol response and associated physiological …

In vertebrates, stress and thyroid systems interact closely, most likely because of the
involvement of both systems in energy metabolism. However, studies on these interactions …

The present study was aimed at the identification of treatment optima to induce triploidy in 'L
abeo rohita (rohu)× C irrhinus cirrhosus (mrigal)'hybrid using heat shock treatment. The …

Despite the threat of climate change, the physiological mechanisms by which temperature
drives the distribution of species are unclear. Here we used chronic temperature exposures …

The accumulation of persistent contaminants is a significant issue for the health of aquatic
environments. This study aims to determine the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons …
