Growth improvement by probiotic in European sea bass juveniles (Dicentrarchus labrax, L.), with particular attention to IGF-1, myostatin and cortisol gene expression (2006, background): “…animals such as cattle (Breier et al., 1988), red deer (Suttie et al., 1991), sheep (Gatford et al., 1996), pigs (Owens et al., 1999) and Guinea pigs (Sohlstrom et al., 1998), it can be stated that IGF-I levels may provide an indication of relative growth (Beckman et al., 2004; Dyer et al., 2004).”
A feed is only as good as its ingredients – a review of ingredient evaluation strategies for aquaculture feeds (2007, methodology): “Other hormone assays used more recently include insulin-like growth factor 1 (Dyer et al. 2004).”
Endocrine Biomarkers of Growth and Applications to Aquaculture: A Minireview of Growth Hormone, Insulin‐Like Growth Factor (IGF)‐I, and IGF‐Binding Proteins as Potential Growth Indicators in Fish (2008, background): “In barramundi (also known as barramundi perch) Lates calcarifer fed diets with variable amounts of crude protein for 6 weeks, strong correlations were found between plasma IGF-I and SGR with a single end point measure ( Table 1 ; Dyer et al. 2004a ).”
