This week we jump into stress physiology with expert and PhD Candidate Alex Schoen! With Alex's help, we breakdown her article, "Simulated heatwave and fishing stressors alter corticosteroid and energy balance in neonate blacktip reef shark, Carcharhinus melanopterus" (Schoen et al. 2021). With climate change as an increasing temperature stressor on marine life, and human-influenced impacts such as fishing, it's important we understand how sharks withstand and process this stress to evaluate if they can survive. Get ready to jump into a world of shark stress physiology!
