Specific growth rate (SGR) and change in telomere length (TL) in wild-type and GH-transgenic coho salmon. On average, the weight-based SGR per day of transgenics (open circles, n = 23) was 4.3 times higher than in wild-types (filled circles, n = 15). The reference line denotes no change in telomere length during the 10 months growth period of an individual. See Additional file 1 for calculations of SGR
