Abstract: Promoter is an important component of gene and controls the transcription and expression of gene. It is widely recognized that the investigation of promoter could be used in changing and improving the characteristics and performances of organisms. In recent years, the research in fish promoter was extensive and made us a better understanding about promoter. In this paper, we summarized the characteristics of fish promoter and also the application in metabolism, growth development, immune of fish and the application of dual promoter in transgenic fish.

Key words: Fish Gene, Promoter, Transcription factor binding sites, Transcriptional factor
