Genetic basis of resistance to stress in fishes. Molecular and classical investigations in a few model organisms
Journal Title: Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper focuses on the recent scientific results from genetics of thermal stress tolerance and discusses about heat shock genes in several model fish organisms, such as: the guppy (Poecilia reticulata), the Antarctic fish (Trematomus bernacchii), the desert fish (Poeciliopsis lucida), the zebrafish (Danio rerio), fugu (Takifugu rubripes), and others.
