Resum

The main objective of the present study was to analyse polymorphism of the growth hormone (GH) gene and of the prolactin (PRL) gene in the gilthead seabream Sparus aurata L., 1758, and to examine its possible association with quantitative characters, such as weight and size. In order to carry out this study, we used a total of 279 individuals (131 breeders and 148 offspring). Once the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms of PCR products (PCR-RFLP) at the introns of both genes were analysed, we found a possible association between intron I of the GH and the quantitative characters studied.
