ABSTRACT:
Novel DNAs are provided which code for fish PACAP and GHRH-like peptide. Methods are provided for production of fish PACAP and fish GHRH-like peptide by expression of the novel DNAs. Additionally, methods are provided for producing enhanced growth of fish by transfection with the novel DNAs of the invention. Further a method is provided for identification of transgenic fish.
