Cannabidiol and microbubble aeration enhance stress resilience and physiological homeostasis in European sea bass: a multi-tissue integrative approach
Addressing growing concerns about animal welfare in aquaculture, this study investigates the potential of cannabidiol (CBD) and microbubble aeration to enhance stress resilience and physiological homeostasis in European sea bass. A five-week trial assessed the effects of dietary CBD (0.001%), environmental enrichment through modified aeration, or their combination on key welfare indicators.
Elephants can relearn how to live wild after years in captivity
Following years of captivity, elephants demonstrate a remarkable capacity for relearning wild behaviors, according to recent research. A study documenting the rehabilitation of 11 elephants revealed striking behavioral parallels between these individuals and their wild counterparts, validating the potential for successful reintroduction programs. This empirical evidence underscores the resilience of these animals and offers valuable insights for conservation efforts.
