GENOTYPE-TEMPERATURE INTERACTION IN THE REGULATION OF DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH, AND MORPHOMETRICS IN WILD-TYPE, AND GROWTH-HORMONE TRANSGENIC COHO SALMON.

Genotype-temperature interaction in the regulation of development, growth, and morphometrics in wild-type, and growth-hormone transgenic coho salmon.

BackgroundThe neuroendocrine system is an important modulator of phenotype, directing cellular genetic responses to external cues such as temperature.Behavioural and physiological processes in poikilothermic organisms (e.g.most fishes), are particularly influenced by surrounding temperatures.Methodology/principal findingsBy comparing the developmen
