Filial cannibalism influences the link between gonadal development and antioxidant function in a mouthbrooding cichlid fish

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: females to assess how the level of fry consumption affects liver antioxidant function. Feeding treatment did not affect liver antioxidant function, but feeding treatment significantly influenced the relationship between gonadal development and antioxidant function. Future studies should isolate the effects of gonadal development and fry consumption on antioxidant function.
