The expressions of the GH1 and GH2 genes were examined by competitive RT-PCR using fry rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) cultured with low concentration of ozonized water. λRNA having GH primers at both 5' and 3' sites of the gene was used for the competitive RT-PCR. The amount of GH1 gene expression treated with ozone was significantly (p<0.05) greater than that of control fish after 3 month, however, there were no significant differences in GH1 and GH2 between ozone and control after 5 months culture. The ozone treatment has a tendency to stimulate growth enhancement, but there was no significant (p=0.05) differences between them.
