Abstract

Growth hormone (GH) levels in serum and pituitary extracts of three major
Indian carps viz, rohu, catla and mrigal were estimated using human GH RIA
kit. The cross reactivity observed between human GH and carp GH clearly
indicates that both share a relatively large number of common antigenic
determinants. This was further confirmed by parallel shift in values of
standard and diluted rohu pituitary extracts. Therefore, human GH RIA kit
may be successfully employed to monitor carp serum GH levels. This may also
help in screening fish growth promoters of commercial interest for potential
aquaculture.
