What the researchers found
CCK2 and PYYB mRNA expression was significantly higher in fed larvae, indicating a role in satiety.
Why it matters
Understanding how these hormones work can help improve feeding strategies for halibut larvae, potentially enhancing aquaculture practices.
How the study worked
The study measured mRNA expression of CCK and PYY in the brain and gut of halibut larvae after feeding them Artemia nauplii and attractants.
What this study cannot tell us
The study focused on a specific life stage of halibut and used a limited range of attractants, which may not represent all feeding scenarios.
