Abstract:A laboratory experiment was performed on fingerlings of Acanthopagrus latus to estimate the effect of direct transfer from the controlled salinity 1.5 psu to different salinities of (1.5, 7.5, 15, 30 and 45 psu) for periods of (6, 24, 48 and 96) hrs. for short term effect experiments. The following hormones (cortisol, prolactin, thyroxin (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3)) were determined in the serum of these fishes by ELISA technique after exposed to different salinities. Results of T4 and T3 were correlated dir… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
