Individual differences in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors are
increasingly recognised as adaptive variation and thus raw material for evolution and fish …

Across species, a similar suite of traits tends to develop in response to domestication,
including modifications in behavior. Reduced fear and increased stress tolerance were …

High pre-slaughter mortality rates of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) are a reoccurring
welfare issue and economic burden in aquaculture. Sudden death immediately prior to …

Host behaviour can prevent infection and moderate the fitness of parasites. Antiparasite
behaviours are prevalent in many host–parasite systems and occur over fine or broad …

Lower vertebrates, including fish, can rapidly alter skin lightness through changes in
melanin concentration and melanosomes' mobility according to various factors, which …

Selective breeding and genetic improvement have left detectable signatures on the
genomes of domestic species. The elucidation of such signatures is fundamental for …

It is well established that parasites can have profound effects on the behaviour of host
organisms, and that individual differences in behaviour can influence susceptibility to …

Hexagrammos otakii is favored by consumers and aquaculture practitioners because of its
strong adaptability and fast growth. However, recently, frequent outbreaks of diseases in the …

Background Salmonid species have followed markedly divergent evolutionary trajectories in
their interactions with sea lice. While sea lice parasitism poses significant economic …

Parasitic sea lice (eg, Lepeophtheirus salmonis) cause costly outbreaks in salmon farming.
Molecular insights into parasite-induced host responses will provide the basis for improved …
