Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are critical for controlling skeletal development of fish,
which has significant influence on external morphology, functional exercise and even …

Sensory receptors enable animals to perceive their external world, and functional properties
of receptors evolve to detect the specific cues relevant for an organism's survival. Changes …

Background Aquaculture successfully meets global food demands for many fish species.
However, aquaculture production of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is just 2.5% of total market …

Umami and sweet sensations provide animals with important dietary information for
detecting and consuming nutrients, whereas bitter sensation helps animals avoid potentially …

Abstract Background Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are part of the transforming
growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily and play crucial roles in bone development, as well …

Understanding how feed intake is regulated in fish is essential for feeding efficiency in
aquaculture. For this regulation, the central nervous system in fish orchestrates behavioral …

In vertebrates, nutritional tastants, such as amino acids and sugars, are recognized by G‐
protein‐coupled receptors of the taste receptor type 1 (T1R) family. Previous studies have …

HIFs (Hypoxia inducible factors) are the main regulators of the expression change of oxygen-
dependent genes, in addition, they also play important roles in immune regulation. HIFs …

Members of the Sox gene family play crucial roles during reproduction and development, but
their genome-wide identification has not yet been performed in large yellow croaker …

Bitter taste perception is crucial for animal survival. By detecting potentially harmful
substances, such as plant secondary metabolites, as bitter, animals can avoid ingesting …
