Quantifying biological responses of catch-and-release angling in understudied fish species and practices
(University of Winnipeg, 2021-08-20)
Many catch-and-release angling events involve air exposure and exhaustive exercise that elicit a physiological stress response, and depending on a variety of factors, delayed mortality is a possible outcome. There have ...
Cis-Regulatory divergence and expression of ryanodine receptor paralogues in Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(University of Winnipeg, 2013-06-12)
Ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are large homotetrameric proteins that in mammals are encoded by three genes: RyR1 in skeletal muscle; RyR2 in cardiac and smooth muscle; and RyR3 which is expressed in a diversity of cell types. ...

A Comparative Study of Ryanodine Receptors (RyRs) Gene Expression Levels in the Basal Ray-Finned Fish, Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) and the Derived Euteleost Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(University of Winnipeg, 2010-09)
Ryanodine receptors (RyR) mediate the controlled release of intracellular stores of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This release of calcium, triggered by membrane-depolarization, is responsible for initiating ...
The effect of environmental stressors on the development and behaviour of larval Oryzias latipes
(University of Winnipeg, 2020-05-08)
Elevated water temperature and dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) are two environmental stressors that freshwater organisms face in the Anthropocene. Larval fishes are particularly susceptible to elevation in water parameters, ...
