TL;DR: Increasing the quantity of feed provided in late gestation acts to promote fetal weight and BAT maturation, the combination of which will enhance neonatal viability.

TL;DR: Immunohistochemistry using specific polyclonal antibodies raised against an oligopeptide from the extracellular domain of sbPRLR detected PRLR in several epithelial tissues of juvenile sea bream, including the anterior gut, renal tubule, choroid membrane of the third ventricle, saccus vasculosus, branchial chloride cells, and branchial cartilage.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that PRL may be involved in the regulation of gonadotropin secretion through a paracrine mechanism within the pituitary gland and that this action does not seem to be mediated by changes in PRL-R mRNA expression is supported.

TL;DR: It was concluded that growth in gilthead sea-bream, although negatively correlated to stocking density, did not seem to be related to intraspecific competition as assessed by changes in size variability.

TL;DR: Pituitary prolactin cDNA has been cloned and sequenced from sea bream, a marine teleost, and Reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction techniques coupled with Southern blot analysis resulted in the detection of PRL in the pituitary but also in the intestine, liver, ovary, and testes.
