Figure 6

Early development of the pectoral fin muscles. Myofibrils of the abductor and adductor are already present at late embryonic stages, 2.8 mm SL (46 hpf) (a). The abductor and adductor muscles extend along the pectoral fin in freshly hatched larvae, 3.15 mm NL (b). Note: different colors in (a) do not mean different staining, but were used to better show different layers and contrast myoblasts (single dots) and cells of the endoskeletal disc (nets of actin).
