Assessment of a Novel Stress and Immune Gene Panel on the Development of Australasian Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) Larvae

This exploratory study is the first to look at a panel of stress- and immune-related marker gene expression during early snapper development. It sets methods in place to explore the expression of these markers and determine the impact of different potential stressors, such as alternative food sources and other environmental changes. It also highlights the importance of same time of day collections for gene expression studies.
