Table 2 Killifish age, sex, and size distribution. Age is calculated from the hatch date when the fish breaks free of the chorion since the embryonic stage is of variable length in this species and controlled by environmental factors. Total length is measured in cm and denoted as average ± 1 s.d. Only male animals were available in the middle age class.
From: Age-related changes in the zebrafish and killifish inner ear and lateral line
Age class (age in days) | Male total length (N) | Female total length (N) |
|---|---|---|
2-month-old (58–78) | 4.98 ± 0.08 (9) | 3.43 ± 0.17 (8) |
3-month-old (94) | 5.05 ± 0.16 (6) | NA |
4–6 month old (116–174) | 5.37 ± 0.20 (9) | 4.02 ± 0.28 (9) |
