Rearing in seawater mesocosms improves the spawning performance of growth hormone transgenic and wild-type coho salmon.

Rearing in seawater mesocosms improves the spawning performance of growth hormone transgenic and wild-type coho salmon.

Growth hormone (GH) transgenes can significantly accelerate growth rates in fish and cause associated alterations to their physiology and behaviour.
