The role of cholecystokinin and peptide YY in feed intake in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) larvae.

evidence

This record provides bibliographic details and links to the original research. An editorial study breakdown is not available.

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.
