The stress response in fish revisited
Michail A. Pavlidis
We are delighted to welcome Prof Michail A. Pavlidis, from University of Crete (Greece). Michail is broadly interested in the physiology of marine organisms. Specifically, his lab investigates three research topics - Stress and Wellfare of farmed fish (this will form the subject of his talk), Pigmentation Physiology (especially how to use dispigmentation as an index of welfare of farmed fish), and Reproductive Physiology (hormonal and environmental control of reproduction, temperature-dependent sex determination, and molecular and endocrine mechanisms regulating early ontogeny).
From homeostasis and the classical stress response concept, to appraisal, coping and the allostasis paradigm in animal stress and welfare research. Inter- and intra-specific differences in the cortisol stress response of marine aquaculture fish species. Family-based and individual differences in European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax. Why some individuals have constantly high or low basal or post-stress plasma cortisol concentrations? To what extent are differences in coping styles associated with production traits? When fish are capable of responding to external stress stimuli during early ontogeny? Is there any effect of early life stress to the performance and stress response at subsequent stages of development? Fishing for answers from our research on Mediterranean commercially important fish species and.., with a little help from zebrafish.
Hope to see many of you - everyone most welcome to attend!
