Answer:
The general physiological response of fish to adverse situations (stressors), as with all vertebrates, is referred to as stress. *The stress response leads to the production of corticosteroids (mainly cortisol) and catecholamines (such as adrenaline and noradrenaline and their precursor dopamine). *Consideration and minimization of stress in the aquaculture management practice is crucial for better production, disease prevention and better economic profit.
