Spexin (Spx), a novel neuropeptide, composed of 14 amino acid residues, is evolutionally conserved from fish to mammals It has been suggested that Spx has pleiotropic functions in mammals. However, reports about Spx are ...
Immune priming has now been demonstrated as a form of immune memory in a wide range of invertebrate species that lack acquired immune systems. Owing to the specific activation of innate immunity upon reinfection, immune ...

The Growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) axis plays a central role as the endocrine regulator of physiological functions in teleost fish and other vertebrates. The basic mechanism of the GH-IGF system i...
Body color is an important economic and ecological trait in aquatic animals, which influence their economic values and determine the animal ability to survive in the marine environment. Red-colored Plectropomus leopardus...
Tannins have great potential as an alternative to in-feed antibiotics. However, no study has investigated the effects of tannins on shrimp. The present study assessed the eff ;ects of hydrolyzable tannins (HTs) fed at di...

Estrogen receptors (Er) play a critical role in vitellogenesis. Three ers (er alpha, er beta 1 and er beta 2) and vitellogenins (vtg-A, vtg-B and vtg-C) subtypes were isolated in various fish species, while the contribut...
The effects of different concentrations of dietary fish oil (0, 2%, or 6%) on ovarian development in 2-year-old female Scatophagus argus were investigated. The levels of serum sex steroid hormones (estradiol-17 beta, E-2...
