Abstract(s)
Organismal growth is a complex, genetically regulated process that integrates various physiological signaling pathways, where endocrine regulation is pivotal. In fully developed animals, endocrine regulation plays a central role in maintaining homeostasis and adapting to changing environmental and biological conditions. In aquatic organisms, environmental stressors such as environmental temperature, hypoxia, salinity changes, and exposure to pollutants can disrupt homeostasis, leading to physiological, molecular, and behavioral responses. Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of endocrine regulation and physiological adaptation in response to environmental stresses is crucial, significantly impacting aquatic ecosystems. The main objective of this Research Topic was to explore and discuss these mechanisms, providing valuable insights into aquatic animal biology and adaptation.
