• Effect of stocking density and feeding level on energy expenditure and stress responsiveness in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax (2010, background): “Ramsay et al. (2006) identified cortisol level as an indicator of crowding stress in adult zebrafish,Danio rerio, however this effect onlymanifested itself in fastedfish,whereas in fed zebrafish, crowding did not significantly increase cortisol level.”
• Guidance on the housing and care of zebrafish Danio rerio. (2011, background): “Adults kept at high densities10 have been observed to show a four-fold increase in whole body cortisol levels11 and reduced egg production12 (Ramsay et al 2006, Goolish et al 1998).”
• Measuring behavioral and endocrine responses to novelty stress in adult zebrafish (2010, methodology): “The use of cortisol assays represents a logical addition to the novel tank test-based behavioral testin”
