The long-term objective of my research program is to understand the physiology of stress in fish. Fish (and other animals) regularly face physical and/or biological factors that threaten their homeostasis. In response to such stressors, a co-ordinated suite of behavioural, neuroendocrine, and cellular events is initiated to enable the animal to overcome the threat. Despite the importance of stress responses to the health/survival of individuals and populations, our knowledge of how they are regulated and integrated with other physiological systems remains limited, particularly during chronic stress.

我的研究计划的长期目标是了解鱼的应激生理学。鱼类(和其他动物)经常面临威胁其动态平衡的物理和/或生物因素。作为对这些应激源的反应，启动了一系列协调的行为、神经内分泌和细胞事件，使动物能够克服威胁。尽管应激反应对个体和群体的健康/生存很重要，但我们对它们如何被调节并与其他生理系统整合的了解仍然有限，特别是在慢性应激期间。
