Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen
species and the antioxidants defences, in favour of the former. In recent years, the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an unenviable part of aerobic life. Their steady-state
concentration is a balance between production and elimination providing certain steady …

Exposure to a variety of environmental factors such as temperature, pH, oxygen and salinity
may influence the oxidative status in aquatic organisms. The present review article focuses …

Ecotoxicology faces the challenge of assessing and predicting the effects of an increasing
number of chemical stressors on aquatic species and ecosystems. Herein we review …

Environmental proteomics, the study of changes in the abundance of proteins and their post-
translational modifications, has become a powerful tool for generating hypotheses regarding …

Environmental (acute and chronic temperature, osmotic, hypoxic and pH) stress challenges
the cellular redox balance and can lead to the increased production of reactive oxygen …

Fisheries and aquaculture are the fast-growing industries that play a key role in global food
security. It is expected to meet the future food needs of a growing population as average per …

Stress of aquatic animals occurs due to physical and physiological disturbances in the
aquatic environment or system when transportation, crowding, handling or changes of …

H+-ATPase-rich (HR) cells in zebrafish gills/skin were found to carry out Na+ uptake and
acid-base regulation through a mechanism similar to that which occurs in mammalian …

Intensive aquaculture practices involve rearing fish at high densities. In these conditions, fish
may be exposed to suboptimal dissolved O 2 levels with an increased formation of reactive …
