THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT ON LABORATORY RARE MINNOWS (GOBIOCYPRIS RARUS): GROWTH, PHYSIOLOGY, AND BEHAVIOR

The Effect of Environmental Enrichment on Laboratory Rare Minnows (Gobiocypris rarus): Growth, Physiology, and Behavior

Environmental enrichment is a method to increase environmental heterogeneity, which may reduce stress and improve animal welfare.Previous studies have shown that environmental enrichment can increase the growth rate, decrease aggressive and anxiety-like behaviors, improve Disposable Glove Dispensers learning ability and agility, and reduce cortisol

Genomic selection improves response to selection in resilience by exploiting genotype by environment interactions

Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) are very common in livestock and hamper genetic improvement.On the other hand, GxE is a source of genetic variation: genetic variation in response to environment, e.g.environmental perturbations such as heat stress or disease.In livestock breeding, there is tendency to ignore GxE because of increased compl
