Figure 2

Two genes with potential growth function (ppp2ca and skp1) showed consistent differential gene expression in the skeletal muscle of Asian seabass at 3, 7 and 9 month post-hatching (mph) of age.

Comparison of the relative expression level of 11 genes between the skeletal muscles of fast- and slow-growing Asian seabass individuals at 3, 7 and 9 mph of age. For each pair of bars, the left one (dark grey) indicates fast-growing individual, while the right one (light grey) indicates the slow-growing one. “*” indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the Asian seabass skeletal muscle of fast- and slow-growing controls. rpl8 and ef1a were used as reference genes.
