1 INTRODUCTION Stressors are ubiquitous and highly variable in natural systems (Boonstra, 2013; Johnstone et al., 2012; Przeslawski et al., 2015). In temperate and polar regions, winter is a physiologically challenging period for many animals because of the relatively harsh environmental conditions, particularly temperature, and reduction in food availability during this season (Sutton et al., 2021).

Abstract In teleost fishes, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis leads to an elevation of circulating cortisol levels as a primary stress response. While acute elevation of cortisol is generally beneficial, long-term elevation, a common characteristic of chronic stress, may lead to detrimental effects on health and physiological performance in fishes.
