Mammalian studies have shaped our understanding of the endocrine control of appetite and
body weight in vertebrates and provided the basic vertebrate model that involves central …

In aquaculture, feeding is the primary factor determining efficiency and cost, so it is important
to know when to stop feeding to maximize efficiency. Until now, fish feeding has been mostly …

The regulation of food intake in fish is a complex process carried out through several
different mechanisms in the central nervous system (CNS) with hypothalamus being the …

Compensatory growth (CG) is a period of accelerated growth that occurs following the
alleviation of growth-stunting conditions during which an organism can make up for lost …

Leptin is a key factor for the regulation of food intake and energy homeostasis in mammals,
but information regarding its role in teleosts is still limited. There are large differences …

The uptake of food in aquaculture is considered to be crucial in feeding systems and
obviously affects the weight and diet conversion efficiency. Over-feeding may lead to feed …

Phytogenic compounds such as limonene and thymol have been shown to have growth-
promoting properties in farmed animals but studies in fish are scarce. Two experiments …

Neuropeptide Y family (NPY) is a potent orexigenic peptide and pancreatic polypeptide
family comprising neuropeptide Y (Npy), peptide YYa (Pyya), and peptide YYb (Pyyb), which …

Leptin is an important hormone for the regulation of food intake, energy expenditure and
reproduction in mammals, but information regarding its role in teleosts remains scant. In the …

The form of dietary phytogenic inclusion and its physiological causal mechanisms for growth
promotion and immune stimulation in fish remain unknown. The study examined the effects …
