Utilization of an endocrine growth index, insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-1b, for postsmolt coho salmon in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada

Abstract: Monitoring the growth of salmon during their early marine phase provides insights into 25 prey availability and growth rates may be linked to risks of size-dependent mortality. 26 However, the measurement of growth rate is challenging for free-living salmon in the 27 ocean. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I is a growth-promoting hormone that is 28 emerging as a useful index of growth in salmon. In addition, laboratory-based studies using coho salmon have shown that one of circulating IGF-binding proteins (IGF… Show more
