Description

Abstract: The effects of the duration of the light phase photoperiod (8 h light or 16 h light) on the

growth and hepatic insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene expression in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus were evaluated. There was a slight but not signifi cant tendency for fi sh in the long light phase group (LP) to display elevated specifi c growth rate (G) both in mass (M) and standard length (LS) compared with that in the short light phase group (SP; P = 0
