Why would a high-carb diet be more beneficial for growth in the transgenic salmon model than a low-carb diet

Respuesta :

Transgenic salmon are salmons which are genetically modified to gain better features and withstand harsher environmental conditions. A high-carb diet is beneficial for the growth of a transgenic salmon because these carbohydrates are required less frequently and induce the growth hormones which increase their growth rate.

Transgenic salmons were created to reduce the amount of growth time of salmon, without hampering its other qualities. Fishes usually have minimal carbohydrate requirements, this is because of their inability to digest or metabolize too much carbohydrates. However, in the case of transgenic salmon the growth gene is genetically modified. This growth gene requires a high-amount of carbohydrate to be induced to increase the rate of growth. Also the other metabolisms that are required for a faster growth of the salmon are effected by the presence or absence of carbohydrates.
