Stress and elevated plasma cortisol in salmonids have been linked with pathological
remodeling of the heart and deterioration of fitness and welfare. However, these …

Cardiac disease is frequently reported in farmed animals, and stress has been implicated as
a factor for myocardial dysfunction in commercial fish rearing. Cortisol is a major stress …

Cardiac disease is a growing concern in farmed animals, and stress has been implicated as
a factor for myocardial dysfunction and mortality in commercial fish rearing. We recently …

Stress and elevated cortisol levels are associated with pathological heart growth and
cardiovascular disease in humans and other mammals. We recently established a link …

In semelparous Pacific salmon, increased cortisol levels accompany sexual maturation and
may be related to the rapid senescence and death that occur after spawning. In fish with …

In vertebrates, generally the physiological responses to stressors serve an important survival
function, and the pattern of the stress response has been highly conserved. However …

Anadromous fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic and environmental stressors including
pollution, rising temperatures, and changes in food availability. Knowledge of how fish …

Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) held in pairs form dominance hierarchies in
which subordinate individuals experience chronic social stress accompanied by lowered …

This thesis proposed to elucidate the relationship between stress and long-term behaviour
and survival in fish. The first study investigated whether" carryover" effects of stress influence …

Combinations of stressors occur regularly throughout an animal's life, especially in
agriculture and aquaculture settings. If an animal fails to acclimate to these stressors, stress …
