(A) and cavefish (B) compared with older fish (C) and (D) respectively. Visible spine deformity (kyphosis) was only observed in old surface fish (C’) compared to cavefish (D’). Measurements of Standard length (E) and Body weight (F) indicate body wasting in old surface fish. (G) Graphic for quantification of spinal deformity Kyphosis angle and (H) Measurements of kyphosis angle across different aged cavefish and surface fish. n = 9–10 for surface and cavefish per timepoint. Data are represented as mean ± SD, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, ns = not significant.
