Effect of colored light regimes on the stress response and RNA/DNA ratio of juvenile red sea bream, Pagrus major

We hypothesized that fish with red-sensitive retina would be stressed by red light and thus inhibited in somatic growth. Red sea bream (Pagrus major) juveniles (total length =3 cm) with red-sensitive retina were chosen to test this hypothesis. We examined the effect of different color lights (red wi...
