Effects of environmental salinity on somatic growth and growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-I axis in juvenile tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus
2007-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Hormonal control of growth was examined in juvenile Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus under different environmental salinities. When juvenile tilapia were acclimated to fresh water (FW) or to full-strength sea water (SW) for 3 weeks, growth rate of the SW-acclimated fish doubled compared to FW fish. Pituitary mRNA levels of growth hormone (GH) were significantly higher in SW-adapted tilapia compared with...
