Development and growth (continuous in fish) are controlled by 'internal factors' including
CNS, endocrinological and neuroendocrinological systems. Among vertebrates, they also …

Fish body growth is a trait of major importance for individual survival and reproduction. It has
implications in population, ecology, and evolution. Somatic growth is controlled by the …

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays a central role in the neuroendocrine
regulation of growth in all vertebrates. Evidence from studies in a variety of vertebrate …

We hypothesise that salmon year class strength is determined in two stages during the first
year in the ocean. There is an early natural mortality that is mostly related to predation …

抄録 Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a mitogenic polypeptide that plays an essential role
in the regulation of development and somatic growth of vertebrates, mainly by mediating …

The insulin-like growth factors (IGF) are evolutionarily ancient growth factors present in all
vertebrates. The central importance of IGF for normal development and growth has been …

The parr–smolt transformation of anadromous salmonids is a suite of behavioral,
morphological, and physiological changes that are preparatory for downstream migration …

The elucidation of the molecular structure of salmon growth hormone (GH) in the mid-1980's
paved the way for a new era of endocrinological research. Establishment of homologous …

Insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) is a key component of the complex system that regulates
differentiation, development, growth and reproduction of fishes. The IGF‐I gene is mainly …

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system plays an important role in controlling animal
development and growth. There are three components to the IGF system: ligands (IGF-I and …
