Abstract: The gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) plays a negative role in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis by inhibiting gonadotropin secretion in vertebrates. Male pregnancy and ovoviviparous behavior are unique phenomena among vertebrates. To better understand the neuroendocrine regulatory… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12288
Abstract: Finding new alternatives to traditional live preys such as Artemia and rotifers, which do not always promote optimal fish growth and survival, is required for the successful aquaculture of highly specialized predatory species, including seahorses.… read more here.
