Juvenile coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were either immersed in thyroxin-containing water (T 4; 20 μg/ml) or implanted with cortisol (5 mg), bovine growth hormone (GH; 1.5 μg/g body wt), or ovine prolactin (PRL; 1.5 μg/g body wt), both early and late in smoltification. T 4 and cortisol treatment...
