This paper describes the detection of a polymorphism within the growth hormone (GH) gene of the fish barramundi (Lates calcarifer). PCR amplification of barramundi genomic DNA generated three different sized products: A, 409 bp; B, 478 bp; and H, 520 bp. Each barramundi isolate displayed one of four...
