Download or read book The Neuroendocrine Control of Feeding and Reproduction in Zebrafish (Danio Rerio) and Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus Vitreolus). written by Sydney London and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reproduction and feeding are two critical life processes in all vertebrates, the regulations of which involve a complex network of interactions. It has been suggested that appetite regulators, such as orexin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), and cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART), and reproductive hormones, like gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), kisspeptin, and neurokinin B (NKB), interact to regulate both food intake and reproduction. However, this relationship is not well characterized in all vertebrate species, especially fish. The purpose of this study was to examine this relationship and uncover some of the regulating mechanisms underlying these two processes. Specifically, I investigated two species of freshwater fish; glass catfish (Kryptopterus vitreolus) and zebrafish (Danio rerio). In glass catfish, I was able to successfully isolate two reproductive hormones (GnRH1 and GnRH2) and three appetite regulators (orexin, NPY, and CART). I found that fasting affected the relative brain expression levels of all of these peptides, except for GnRH2, suggesting a link between nutritional status and endocrine regulation. In zebrafish, I examined how nutritional status, reproductive stage, gender, and strain affected the brain mRNA expression of certain appetite (orexin and NPY) and reproductive (GnRH, kisspeptin, GnIH, and NKB) hormones. To compare strains, I used both wild-type and transparent Casper zebrafish. My results suggest gender- and reproductive stage-specific, as well as strain-specific variations in the mechanisms that regulate feeding and reproduction in zebrafish. To further investigate these differences, I compared the brain mRNA expression of genes involved in the melanocortin system and melanin pathway between wild-type and Casper zebrafish. I found that the Casper zebrafish had lower levels of several of the genes examined, suggesting that these strain-specific differences may be mediated by the melanocortin system. Overall, I was able to show a clear relationship between appetite and reproduction in both zebrafish and glass catfish, providing new insights into the endocrine mechanisms that regulate these two processes in fish.

This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to present different aspects of reproductive physiology and molecular endocrinology of commercially important as well as potential aquaculture fish species. The existing aquaculture generation is looking for species diversification for efficient utilization of available diverse water resources. The knowledge of reproductive physiology of fish will help in development of breeding strategy for use in commercial aquaculture. Reproductive system is highly coordinated and governed by means of complex network of nervous, endocrine system and environmental factor as well. This book emphasize on different key aspects of reproductive endocrine system such as basic gonadal biology in the events of climate vulnerability, sex determination, sex reversal, stimulatory hormones, inhibitory hormones and receptors, environmental and chemical factor guiding reproduction, puberty, neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction etc. This book further describes how reproduction is not just indispensable for the existence or survival of an individual, but it is important for the survival of species. Chapters also address the concerns of anthropogenic activities on fish and the aquatic environment lead main trouble on physiological and reproductive processes of aquatic animals. This book offers an attractive compilation of highly relevant aspects of current and future of aquaculture, especially in view of the growing awareness of aquaculture, to food scientists working on commercial fish, animal biologists, fish geneticists etc. This book is very timely, and relevant to the sustainable development goals.

Download or read book Food Intake in Fish written by Dominic Houlihan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intake of food by fishes is an area of study that is of great importance to the applied sciences of fisheries and aquaculture for a number of reasons. For example a thorough knowledge of factors influencing the ingestion of feed can lead to successful manipulation of the rearing environment of cultured fishes, thereby ensuring improved growth performance and feed utilisation, and decreasing the amount of waste (and consequent pollution) per unit of fish produced. This important book, which has arisen out of a European Union COST programme, illustrates how insights into the biological and environmental factors that underlie the feeding responses of fish may be used to address practical issues of feed management. Food Intake in Fish contains carefully edited contributions from internationally recognised scientists, providing a book that is an invaluable tool and reference to all those involved in aquaculture, especially those working in the aquaculture feed industry and scientific personnel in commercial and research aquaculture facilities. This book should also find a place on the shelves of fish biologists and physiologists and as a reference in libraries of universities, research establishments and aquaculture equipment companies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative endocrinology is one of the most rapidly developing subdis ciplines within the field of endocrinology, and it is having a significant impact on research at the molecular, cellular, organisma1 and environmental levels. Much of the current ferment in endocrinology is in reproductive endocrinology. The purpose of this volume on hormones and reproduction in fishes, amphibians and reptiles is to summarize our present understandings and to identify important research problems to be addressed in the area of comparative reproductive endocrinology. It was inspired by the gathering at Copper Mountain, Colorado, of eminent endocrine scientists from around the world on the occasion of the Tenth International Symposium on Comparative Endocrinology in July, 1985. While preparing for that meeting, we decided that a special volume on reproductive endocrinology was needed to summarize what is known and to stimulate research in particular directions. Why do we emphasize fishes, amphibians and reptiles? First, knowledge about the reproductive endocrinology of these ectothermic vertebrates can provide a clearer picture of the evolution of reproductive hormones and their effects on target organs. This comparative approach can lead to new theories about the evolution of reproductive control mechanisms. Second, studies concerning the reproductive endocrinology of "lower" vertebrates can result in development of "model systems" for application to studies of birds and mammals. Indeed, information about the patterns of reproductive control in ectothermic vertebrates can tell us which are evolutionarily stable and which are labile.
