Early life-history consequences of growth-hormone transgenesis in rainbow trout reared in stream ecosystem mesocosms.

Abstract excerpt

There is persistent commercial interest in the use of growth modified fishes for shortening production cycles and increasing overall food production, but there is concern over the potential impact that transgenic fishes might have if ever released into nature. To explore the ecological consequences of transgenic fish, we performed two experiments in which the early growth and survival of growth-hormone transgenic...
