Endocrine Biomarkers of Growth and Applications to Aquaculture: A Minireview of Growth Hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF)-I, and IGF-Binding Proteins as Potential Growth Indicators in Fish

Abstract Growth in fish and other vertebrates is under endocrine control, particularly through the growth hormone (GH)–insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis. For this reason, it has been of interest to aquaculture researchers and the industry to establish endocrine biomarkers that can both reflect a... View More
