[The search for factors limiting growth rate].
Search for a factor limiting the growth rate is described the salmon fry taken as an example. A simple dependence between the specific growth rate and DNA content (of the nuclei) in muscles was found. Age changes in the growth rate are due to the fact that the appearance of new nuclei lags behind the growth of muscle cells. A few models were proposed on this basis which correspond to various growth types.
