• Suppression of aggressive behaviour in juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) by l-tryptophan supplementation (2005, background): “Consequently, TRP-supplemented feed may also lead to decreased size heterogeneity and cannibalism, as has recently been shown in juvenile grouper, Epinephelus coioides (Hseu et al., 2003).”
• New developments in fish amino acid nutrition: towards functional and environmentally oriented aquafeeds (2009, background): “Dietary supplementation with L-tryptophan can inhibit aggression in juvenile rainbow trout (Hseu et al. 2003), reduce cannibalism and stress-induced anorexia in juvenile grouper (Höglund et al. 2007), and prevent a stress-induced cortisol surge (Lepage et al. 2003).”
• Amino acids and immune function (2007, background): “…dietary supplementation with 0·36 or 0·5% tryptophan (corresponding to eight or 11 times the tryptophan content (0·044%, on a dry matter basis) of the commercial feed) reduced cannibalism in fish (Hseu et al. 2003) and cortisol-mediated immune suppression in the rainbow trout (Lepage et al. 2003).”
• Physiological roles of tryptophan in teleosts: current knowledge and perspectives for future studies (2019, background): “Similarly, Epinephelus coioides treated with 221 tryptophan for 10 days showed suppressed aggressive behaviour and cannibalism along 222 with brain 5HT elevation (Hseu et al., 2003).”
• Intracohort cannibalism and methods for its mitigation in cultured freshwater fish (2017, background): “…done on morphometric assessments of the prevalence of cannibalism depending on the ratio of the mouth-dimensions of cannibals and the body dimensions of victims (Folkvord and Otterå 1993; Mélard et al. 1996; Hseu et al. 2003b; Fessehaye et al. 2005; Mandiki et al. 2007; Ribeiro and Qin 2013).”
