A "stressor" is any event requiring homeostatic processes beyond normal limits, the activation of which may result in impaired long-term survival. … For aquaculturists, it is highly desirable to have quantifiable indicators (biomarkers) of chronic stress in order to implement appropriate management practices to minimize or eliminate the stressor and hence improve production efficiency. 2, record 1, English, - stressor

Un agent stressant peut être défini comme tout événement requérant des processus homéostasiques au-delà des limites normales, et qui peut entraîner à long terme une baisse de survie. […] Pour les aquaculteurs, il est hautement souhaitable d’avoir des indicateurs quantifiables(biomarqueurs) de stress chronique pour pouvoir appliquer des pratiques de gestion adaptées afin de minimiser ou éliminer l'agent stressant et de fait améliorer la productivité. 3, record 1, French, - agent%20stressant

A second channel [through which exchange rates are believed to affect productivity] is the factor price hypothesis ... When the exchange rate appreciates, this should make the use of capital more attractive than labour in the production process since the exchange rate affects the cost of labour. Over time this would lead to an increase in the use of capital, a decrease in labour intensity, and an improvement in productivity. 1, record 2, English, - factor%20price%20hypothesis

La seconde façon [dont les taux de change modifient la productivité] est l'hypothèse des prix comme facteur [...] Lorsque le taux de change s’apprécie, l'utilisation des immobilisations devrait être plus attrayante que le recours à la main-d’œuvre dans la production, car le taux de change modifie le coût de l'équipement et des logiciels importés plus que le coût de la main-d’œuvre. Après quelques temps, cela devrait mener à une augmentation de l'utilisation des immobilisations, à une baisse des activités ayant un fort coefficient de main-d’œuvre et à une amélioration de la productivité. 1, record 2, French, - hypoth%C3%A8se%20des%20prix%20comme%20facteur
