Abstract

Fish being ectotherms and in direct contact with water are directly affected by climate change-induced hydrogeological changes and demonstrate a cascade of a response that ranges from cellular adaptation to change in population dynamics. In acute stress, a fish generally tends to increase ATP synthesis to fuel alarm reaction. However, a fish under chronic stress adapts its physiological functions to facilitate energy distribution in a manner that prioritizes the functioning of critical organs and essential cellular pathways. This chapter discusses the physiological processes involved in stress perception and adaptation. The role of the neuroendocrine system, the sympathetic nervous system-chromaffin cell axis (SNC), and the hypothalamus–pituitary–interrenal (HPI) axis is discussed in detail. Hydromineral balance and preservation of the functional structure of the protein in response to abiotic stress are also discussed.
