Endocrinology Research in our laboratory is aimed at understanding endocrine control of physiological processes in fish, and applying endocrinology to aquaculture and fisheries enhancement.
Specific projects focus on growth, development and reproduction.
A broad range of experimental approaches to the problems are involved, from hormonal dietary treatment of hundreds of thousands of fish to studies of the molecular mechanisms of hormonal control of gene expression and biochemical purification of hormones.
