Figure 6

Late development of the caudal fin musculature in T3 treated zebrafish. Underdeveloped caudal muscles form in one fish 4.0 mm SL (A) and almost normally developed in another fish 4.0 mm SL (B). A net of disorganized muscle fibers in the caudal fin and abnormal muscle development in the dorsal and anal fins in a fish 4.4 mm SL (C). The adult-like muscle configuration of the caudal fin is achieved by the development of the interfilamenti caudalis dorsalis and ventralis (D) 5.0 SL. In all panels, anterior is to the left, dorsal is to the top.
