Hormonal and physiological changes in Sterlet sturgeon Acipenser ruthenus treated with thyroxine
Abstract
This study investigates the basis of the stimulatory effects of thyroxine (T4) on the growth and physiological changes in Sterlet sturgeon broodstock and their larval offspring. Groups of fish received four injections of 0, 1 or 10 mg kg BW−1 of T4 over a 170-day period. At the end of trial, blood was taken and plasma biochemical parameters, sex steroid and thyroid hormone (THs) levels were measured. Broodstock were induced to ovulate by the …
