Folic acid supplementation modulates hormone dynamics, biochemistry, gene expression, and folate concentrations in hormonally induced Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) Broodstock: Insights from mucus as a non-invasive sampling matrix
Key Points
Folic acid supplementation significantly modulates hormone dynamics and gene expression in eel broodstock.
An increase in specific hormone concentrations was noted, reflecting changes in biochemistry and metabolism.
Mucus sampling offers a non-invasive method for tracking significant biochemical changes in fish broodstock.
This study highlights new insights into non-invasive monitoring strategies for aquatic species in aquaculture.
