Abstract:
The research goal is to assess the effect of the administration of the probiotic candidate Vibrio lentus, previously shown to protect European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) larvae, on the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis activity using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) glucocorticoid profiling in whole body of a single larva.
