The corticotropin‐releasing factor (CRF) system plays a key role in centrally regulating thyroid hormone (TH) synthesis in non‐mammalian vertebrates, but interactions between THs and the CRF system remain poorly understood in fish. Here, we report that THs directly affect transcription of several CRF system components across different hypophysiotropic ...

Tilapialar esas olarak tropikal ülkelerde yetiştirilen ekonomik öneme sahip tatlı su balıklarıdır. Bununla birlikte değişik tuzluluk derecelerine gösterdikleri toleransları sayesinde, bu türün yetiştiriciliği, tatlı suyun yanı sıra, deniz ve acı su ortamlarında da yapılır hale gelmiştir.

Synergistic effects between omnivorous filter-feeding fish and nutrient enrichment on algal biomass
Aim: The Nile tilapia - Oreochromis niloticus(Linnaeus 1758) - is an exotic omnivorous filter-feeding fish that has been stocked for three decades in man-made lakes of Northeastern Brazil.

Different defensive strategies are used by tadpoles to avoid or escape from predators, and it is possible that differences in the microhabitat of prey and predators influence the defensive strategies used by tadpoles. Therefore, we experimentally tested whether the presence of a nektonic fish predator (Oreochromis niloticus) reduces the time of ...

Tilapia for Biological Control of Giant Salvinia [PDF]
In August 1999, giant salvinia ( Salvinia molesta Mitchell) was found along the lower Colorado River in irrigation drainages. To investigate the slow spread and apparent control of giant salvinia in this region, the herbivorous fish, tilapia ...

ABSTRACT DNA within the nucleus is organised into a well‐regulated three‐dimensional (3D) structure. However, how such 3D genome structures influence speciation processes remains largely elusive. Recent studies have shown that 3D genome structures influence mutation rates, including the occurrence of chromosomal rearrangement.

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids
ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.

Importance of proteins and mitochondrial changes as freshness indicators in fish muscle post‐mortem
Abstract Evaluating protein and mitochondrial alterations post‐mortem can contribute to determining correlations between fish‐processing parameters and ultimate fish muscle quality. The myofibrillar protein alteration during rigor mortis directly affects the texture of fish muscle.
