Description :
Neuropeptides comprise a class of evolutionarily well-conserved messenger molecules of enteric, sensory, autonomic, and central neurons. In recent decades, neuropeptides have been found to play a major role in food intake, energy homeostasis, and stress resilience. In regard to aquaculture, fish appetite management is a crucial area of study. Neurocircuitry that controls feeding may be unlocked by understanding how neuropeptides function. This brief review aims to summarize the functions of various neuropeptides in fish.
