The Regulatory Mechanisms of Feeding Behavior in Fish

详细

The review briefly summarizes information on the role of humoral factors as well as the nervous and endocrine systems in the regulation of fish feeding behavior with a major focus on neuropeptides. The influence of biogenic and abiogenic factors on the regulatory systems and the role of individual peptides and their interplay at different phases of fish feeding behavior are considered. An attempt is made to link our knowledge of feeding behavior of “wild” fish to the known mechanisms of its regulation.
