Article Synopsis
- - Environmental enrichment in captivity is meant to improve the well-being of fish by simulating their natural habitat, but its effects on fish reproduction are not well understood.
- - In a study with twospot astyanax larvae, fish raised in enriched environments (with PVC pipes, stones, and plants) exhibited healthier reproductive structures compared to those in sterile environments.
- - Results indicated that sterile-reared fish showed early spawning and potential reproductive issues, leading to lower-quality offspring, whereas enriched fish had better-developed gametes and healthier larval outcomes.
Stress situations can be essential to trigger reproduction in fish; however, it may also inhibit it. One of those situations involves the release of the conspecific alarm substance (CAS), a natural stressor, into the water by specific fish epidermal cells after a predator attack. Little is known about the effects of that substance on fish reproduction.
