The effect of density on sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) performance in a tank-based recirculating system (2009, background): “, 1999; Sørum and Damsgård, 2004) and blood parameters, such as plasma cortisol and glucose level (Kjartansson et al., 1988; Mazur and Iwama, 1993; Montero et al., 1999), can be used to measure the potential effect of density on fish performance and welfare.”
Exploration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function as a tool to evaluate animal welfare. (2007, background): “However, some papers describe a slightly higher level of cortisol in confined fish compared to the controls after several weeks (sea bream) [334].”
Dissolved Oxygen Level and Stocking Density Effects on Growth, Feed Utilization, Physiology, and Innate Immunity of Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (2014, background): “Montero et al. (1999) found lower lipid levels in the liver of gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, reared at high densities.”
Alteration of liver and muscle fatty acid composition in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles held at high stocking density and fed an essential fatty acid deficient diet (2004, background): “In gilthead seabream, the most important finfish species in Mediterranean aquaculture, some studies have shown the effect of high rearing density on growth, survival and immune resistance (Montero et al. 1999), whereas others have focused on their EFA requirements (Ibeas et al.”
Stress-associated impacts of short-term holding on fishes (2006, background): “Holding fishes at high densities is known to adversely affect many biological functions including metabolism (Vijayan et al. 1990; Christiansen et al. 1991; Jørgensen et al. 1993; Montero et al. 1999; Barton et al. 2002), growth (Refstie 1977; Trzebiatowski et al.”
