Resumo

Growth hormone (GH) significantly increased the growth in mass and length of Atlantic salmon parr. It also significantly increased routine oxygen consumption ( M O 2 ). This change in routine M O 2 could be attributed to an increase in activity, but not resting M O 2 . Any elevation in resting M O 2 due to GH treatment is much lower than previously suggested.
