| Research Abstract |
Insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I) plays important roles in fish growth. The response of IGF-I to non-essential amino acids were confirmed by injection. Only proline injection increased IGF-I mRNA levels in muscle of yellowtail. Furthermore, fish fed diet including 1% and 3% of proline indicated higher body weight compared to fish fed control diet. Those results indicated that better fish feed was developed using IGF-I as an indicator.
