Stress is a state of disrupted homeostasis triggered by physical or psychological stimuli that elicit adaptive responses at the molecular and cellular levels. In fish, the hypothalamus-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis mediates stress responses. Nesfatin-1 and a nesfatin-1-like peptide (NLP), derived from nucleobindin-1 (NUCB1), have been implicated in stress hormone regulation in mammals.

Reproduction in fish is modulated by several factors that include environmental and endocrine components. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of aquacultural stressors along the pituitary-testis axis in a continuously breeding cichlid fish Oreochromis mossambicus. The fish (35.

Stress in vertebrates is mediated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (in mammals)/interrenal (in fish) (HPA/I) axis, which produces the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and corticosteroids, respectively. Nesfatin-1, a novel anorexigenic peptide encoded in the precursor nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2), is increasingly acknowledged as a peptide that influences the stress axis in mammals. The primary aim of this study was to characterize the putative effects of nesfatin-1 on the fish HPI axis, using goldfish () as an animal model.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of stress on reproduction and the possible involvement of dopaminergic systems in the reproductive stress response in the mosquitofish Gambusia affinis. Exposure of fish to aquaculture stressors (four 10 min episodes of stress, each corresponding to a different stressor such as handling, chasing, frequent netting and low water levels), for a period of 30 days caused reduction in the mean numbers of stage I-IV follicles associated with lower number of pregnant females and embryos in most of the developmental stages compared with experimental controls. Besides, increase in the intensity of labelling and the per cent area of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of catecholamines)- immunoreactive (ir) neurons was observed in the preoptic area (POA) and the nucleus preopticus (NPO) regions of the brain concomitant with reduction in the labelling of gonadotropin releasing hormone-immunoreactive (GnRH-ir) fibres in the proximal pars distalis (PPD) of the pituitary gland in stressed fish compared with experimental controls.
