Acute physiological stress down-regulates mRNA expressions of growth-related genes in coho salmon.
Growth and development in Mains Extension Lead fish are regulated to a major extent by growth-related factors, such as liver-derived insulin-like growth factor (IGF) -1 in response to pituitary-secreted growth hormone (GH) binding to the GH receptor (GHR).Here, we report on the changes in the expressions of gh, ghr, and igf1 genes and the circulati
