This study was established to test the hypothesis of whether the codon optimization of fish growth hormone gene (FGH) based onP. pastorispreferred codon will improve the quantity of secreted rFGH in culture supernatant that can directly be used as fish feed supplements. The optimizedFGHcoding sequence (oFGH) and native sequence (nFGH) of giant grouper fish (Epinephelus lanceolatus) were cloned intoP. pastorisexpression vector (pPICZαA) downstream ofalcohol oxidasegene (AOX1) for efficient induction of extracellular rFGH by adding 1% of absolute methanol. The results showed that recombinantP. pastoriswas able to produce2.80±0.27 mg of oFGH compared to1.75±0.25of nFGH in one litre of culture supernatant. The total body weight of tiger grouper fingerlings fed with oFGH increased significantly at third (P<0.05) and fourth weeks (P<0.01) of four-week experiment period compared to those fed with nFGH. Both oFGH and nFGH significantly enhanced the final biomass and fish survival percentage. In conclusion, codon optimization ofFGHfragment was useful to increase rFGH quantity in the culture supernatant ofP. pastoristhat can be directly used as fish feed supplements. Further studies are still required for large scale production of rFGH and practical application in aquaculture production.

Fish growth improvement as economic traits can be solved through fish transgenic production. Growth hormone gene is inserted into transgenic vector construction to over-express fish growth. The promoter as a part of the expression vector has an important role in its regulation. The use of promoter which is derived from mammalian or virus (such as CMV/ cytomegalovirus) in the expression vector, in specific goal as food material, has customer resistant rather than a promoter which is derived from in- sibling species. Beside of it, transgene expression level when using in-sibling promoter showed higher than using mammalian or viral promoter. The β-actin promoter is screened from walking catfish pituitary genome DNA using primers: pBA-cy-F (5’- GTGWGTGACGCYGGACCAAATC-3’) as forward primer and pBA-cy-R (5’- CCATRTCRTCCCAGTTGGTSACAAT-3’) as reverse primer, produced an amplicon of 1,7 kb in length. Sequence analysis using TF BindTM indicated transcription factor elements: TATA box, CCAAT box, enhancer (CAAT), and CarGG (CAAATGG) motif. This result showed that promoter which is obtained from this research is useful in construction of all catfish growth hormone vector expression catfish transgenic production. Keywords: β-actin promoter, growth hormone, expression vector, walking catfish (Clarias batrachus)

The energetic state of an animal strongly influences decisions that balances feeding against predation risk. Growth hormone increases the metabolic demands, which should elevate the feeding motivation of an animal. This, in turn, may increase the willingness to risk exposure to predators during feeding. To test this hypothesis, we studied the effect of growth hormone on the behavioural response of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) to simulated attacks from a model heron. After attacks, growth hormone treated trout foraged closer to the water surface, resumed feeding earlier, and ate more food than did control trout. Such behaviour should increase the susceptibility to aerial predation. Thus, predation may select against high endogenous growth hormone secretion in wild fish. Furthermore, genetic manipulations to increase growth hormone levels, intended to improve growth performance in aquaculture, may result in individuals with substantially altered behavioural patterns. In light of the increasing potential for interactions between farmed and wild fish, growth hormone transgenic fish may pose a threat to wild fish populations.
