Abstract:
Growth manipulation of fish is an important task in aquatic biotechnology. The growth promoting effect of recombinant Pichia pastoris expressing tilapia growth hormone was demonstrated in red tilapia fry (Oreochromis sp.), which were immersed into water containing intact cells of the recombinant yeast. The weight increase of the treated group was 171% relative to the control group after 6 weeks.
