Background: Interspecies hybridization is an important breeding method to generate fishes with heterosis in aquaculture. Using this method, hybrid Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, ♀) × blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus, ♂) has been produced and widely farmed due to its growth and appetite superiorities. However, the genetic mechanism of these advanced traits is still not well understood. Ghrelin is a crucial...
