Skeletal muscle is the edible part of the fish. It grows by hypertrophy and hyperplasia, events
regulated by differential expression of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs). The study of …

Skeletal muscle growth is regulated by differential expression of myogenic regulatory factors

The fish fauna of the continental shelf of the Southern Ocean is dominated by a single sub-
order of Perciformes, the Notothenioidei, which have unusually large diameter skeletal …

Fishes of the perciform suborder Notothenioidei afford an excellent opportunity for studying
the evolution and functional importance of diverse types of biochemical adaptation to …

Hyperplasia and hypertrophy are two distinct processes of skeletal muscle growth regulated
by four myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs, contains MyoD, Myf5, Mrf4 and myogenin …

The effects of different feeding schemes on pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus early
development were evaluated with respect to growth, survival, muscle development, and …

This study describes the influence of incubation temperature during initial development
phase on the morphology and muscle growth characteristics in the pacu (Piaractus …

The use of closed containment (CCS) or semi‐closed containment systems (S‐CCS) for
