In all vertebrates, the thyroid axis is an endocrine feedback system that affects growth,
differentiation, and reproduction, by sensing and translating central and peripheral signals to …

The purpose of this review is to provide fishery biologists and fish culturists with a summary
of those published reports relating to the morphological, behavioral and biochemical …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the different aspects of the physiology of
smolting salmonids. Many salmonids—the fish of the genera, Oncorhynchus, Salmo, and …

We have developed an “all fish” growth hormone (GH) chimeric gene construct by using an
antifreeze protein gene (AFP) promoter from ocean pout linked to a chinook salmon GH …

The elucidation of the molecular structure of salmon growth hormone (GH) in the mid-1980's
paved the way for a new era of endocrinological research. Establishment of homologous …

The purpose of this chapter is to review the comparative endocrinology of the growth
regulating hormones in fish and to describe research aimed at the application of this …

Juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were either immersed in thyroxin-containing
water (T 4; 20 μg/ml) or implanted with cortisol (5 mg), bovine growth hormone (GH; 1.5 μg/g …

Osmoregulatory actions of growth hormone (GH) and its mode of action in salmonids are
reviewed. We present evidence suggesting that insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) mediates …

A basic premise in any intensive culture system is to maximize growth at minimum cost, with
an end product that is of high nutritive value and aesthetically acceptable to the consumer …

Interaction between growth and reproduction occurs in many vertebrates and is particularly
obvious at certain stages of the life cycle in fish. Endocrine interactions between the …
