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 …

The brain, particularly the hypothalamus, integrates input from factors that stimulate
(orexigenic) and inhibit (anorexigenic) food intake. In fish, the identification of appetite …

When looking for a book on fish toxicology, you might find one that discusses the
biochemical and molecular aspects, or one that focuses aquatic toxicology in general. You …

The teleost-specific whole genome duplication event 350 million years ago resulted in a
variety of duplicated genes that exist in fish today. In this review, we examine whether …

Although environmental, social and physical stressors have been shown to inhibit food
intake and feeding behavior in fish, little is known about the mechanisms that mediate the …

Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), urotensin-I, urocortin and sauvagine belong to a family
of related neuropeptides found throughout chordate taxa and likely stem from an ancestral …

A characteristic feature of the behavioural response to intensely acute or chronic stressors is
a reduction in appetite. In fish, as in other vertebrates, the corticotropin-releasing factor …

In mammals, the orexigenic and anorexigenic neuronal systems are morphologically and
functionally connected, forming an interconnected network in the hypothalamus to govern …
