The characterization of γH2AX as a biomarker of genotoxicity in Oncorhynchus mykiss
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)Environmental contamination due to by-products and waste from industrial activities is a growing universal concern, especially regarding the impact on water and the aquaculture industry. Conventional tests to diagnose ... -
Epigenetics in teleost fish: from molecular mechanisms to physiological phenotypes
(Elsevier, 2018-10)While the field of epigenetics is increasingly recognized to contribute to the emergence of phenotypes in mammalian research models across different developmental and generational timescales, the comparative biology of ... -
Exploring the energetic and behavioural changes associated with the immune response in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)With the world’s population continuously increasing, humanity constantly needs to figure out ways to increase food production to meet growing demands. One way to increase food production that has had exponential growth in ... -
Multi-stressor impacts on fish energetics and stress response: a comparison between lab and field studies
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-24)Aquatic organisms are continuously exposed to multiple environmental stressors that work cumulatively and synergistically to alter ecosystems. The objective of this study was to investigate the impacts of multiple stressors ... -
The Role of Glucocorticoid Receptor Signaling in Zebrafish Development
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-28)These studies present a series of novel roles for glucocorticoid signaling in the developing zebrafish embryo. The best-characterized roles of cortisol, the primary circulating corticosteroid in teleost fish, are known to ...
