Abstract:Stress can unfavorably affect fish health in hatcheries and it is important to understand how different stressors can change stress response. Dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid hormone, shows biological effects in response to stressor conditions. This study was performed to examine the effect of intraperitoneal injection of DEX on the stress response of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), an important chondrostean species for aquaculture. For this purpose, one hundred juvenile Siberian sturgeon … Show more
