The results first indicated that the additions of both 10 ng and 100 ng rcsGH/g diet significantly promoted the growth of juvenile prawn (weight gains significantly increased compared to controls and the effect was dose dependent). In addition, the prawn fed the diet containing rcsGH exhibited the improved survival rate (with 2 fold survival rate that of controls). The experiments provided the basis of application of recombinant fish growth hormone on growth and survival enhancements of cultured Chinese prawn.展开更多
