Using Portable Lactate and Glucose Meters for Catfish Research: Acceptable Alternatives to Established Laboratory Methods? (2006, methodology): “—Channel catfish fingerlings (mean weight ; 80 g) used for this study were obtained from a mixed-family population reared at the Thad Cochran National Warmwater Aquaculture Center in Stoneville, Mississippi.”
Growth improvement by probiotic in European sea bass juveniles (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.), with particular attention to IGF-1, myostatin and cortisol gene expression (2006, background): “These stressors can sharply affect cortisol plasma levels in fish (Patiño et al., 1986; Small, 2004) and since cortisol is the principal corticosteroid hormone in teleost fish, this is generally considered harmful for immune system and in more general terms for animal's welfare.”
Cortisol and Glucose: Reliable indicators of fish stress? (2009, background): “Isoeugenol was shown to diminish 60% blood cortisol in channel catfish exposed to confinement, whereas metomidate showed greater effectiveness in blocking cortisol release under high ammonium concentrations (Small 2004).”
