  1. Table provides a means of converting between measurements of zebrafish growth in our model. SSL and day provided at the start of stage
  2. aStages abbreviated: pelvic bud (PB), pelvic ray (PR), squamation onset posterior (SP), squamation through anterior (SA), and juvenile (J)36
  3. bSSL36 is a measurement of average fish length associated with standard length, which is measured in mm (see Supplementary Fig. 2). We simulate the full width of the fish body and roughly a third of its length (excluding a region around the eye)
  4. cDays and pattern milestones (approximated from images in refs. 11, 36)
