Analysis of Immune System and Stress Parameters of Oncorhynchus mykiss in Response to Juvenile Thermal Preconditioning or Thermal-Based Parental Selection
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-20)Higher water temperatures and pathogens are both significant factors that negatively affect the welfare of teleost fish. In aquaculture, compared to natural populations, these problems are especially exacerbated, as the ... -
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 ... -
Contrasting physiological responses between invasive sea lamprey and non-target bluegill in response to acute lampricide exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-08-01)Control of invasive sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) in the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America uses lampricides, which consist of 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) and niclosamide. Lampricides are thought to inhibit ... -
Impacts of acute and anthropogenic stress on fish microRNA
(University of Waterloo, 2021-12-21)Fishes play crucial roles in the ecology of aquatic environments and contribute to the multi-billion-dollar fisheries industry. The integrity of their populations and health needs to be maintained for future generations ... -
MicroRNAs and their role within the teleost (Oncorhynchus mykiss) stress response
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-26)The stress response is a highly conserved signalling cascade that signals between tissues to increase energy availability. Changes in glucose regulation are studied extensively due to the glucose intolerant phenotype of ... -
Understanding acute stress-mediated immunity in teleost fish
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The abilities and ways in which organisms respond to stress have long been demonstrated to affect the immune response of the organism. In mammalian studies, researchers have observed that chronic/long-term stress has a ...
