Fitness component assessments of wild-type and growth hormone transgenic coho salmon reared in seawater mesocosms
2017-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Growth hormone (GH) transgenic fish have been proposed for use in aquaculture to enhance production efficiency. As part of a risk analysis for use of such fish, the influence of GH transgenesis on the potential to persist and succeed in natural ecosystems is being examined in confined laboratory conditions. GH transgenesis can greatly accelerate growth and, in culture conditions, is associated with secondary effec...
