Effects of growth hormone transgenes on the behavior and welfare of aquacultured fishes: A review identifying research needs
Expression of a growth hormone (GH) transgene can achieve dramatic impacts upon the performance of aquaculture stocks, for example, increasing the growth rate of coho salmon 11-fold. With the prospect of improved production efficiency, some aquaculturists want to produce transgenic fish commercially. Commercialization of transgenic fish and shellfish, however, poses not only ecological, food safety, […]
