“…As these changes occur over a slower timescale, comparing with endocrine responses, proteomics can thus be a promising alternative to find indicators of an adaptive long-term stress response instead of an early response (e.g., hormones), as that used in acute stress assessment (Cowan and Vera, 2008;Marco-Ramell et al, 2016). The number of studies employing a proteome-wide characterization to unveil the molecular adaptations behind the physiological response to stress in fish has been considerably increasing (Raposo de Magalhães et al, 2020a). However, the effects on metabolism and hepatic proteome have been studied mainly as a response to environmental stimuli, xenobiotics, diseases and acute stressors (Wiseman et al, 2007;Ibarz et al, 2010;Malécot et al, 2011;Mahanty et al, 2016;Gandar et al, 2017;Pédron et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2017;Causey et al, 2018;Naderi et al, 2018;Ghisaura et al, 2019).…”
