About this document
Stress and Pigmentation in Salmonids by jirrekrijnen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the relationship between melanin-based skin pigmentation and stress responsiveness in salmonid fish, specifically rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. It finds that individual variations in stress coping styles correlate with differences in melanin spot density, with low cortisol-responsive fish exhibiting more spots. The results suggest a heritable connection between behavioral, physiological, and morphological traits that may influence the evolution of coping styles in these species.
