Knowledge about the morphological, biochemical, and molecular features of skeletal muscle tissue in fish is important to better understand the control of muscle maintenance, development, and growth. Skeletal muscle is ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the morphological and growth characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue in pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) using alevins (50 days old) and juveniles (1 year old). Muscle samples were collected ...

The skeletal muscle of the species Arapaima gigas (pirarucu) constitutes the major edible part of the fish and is, therefore, an important protein source for human consumption. Post-natal muscle growth is regulated by the ...

Protocols that improve growth performance in fish while assuring product quality are important for aquaculture. Fasting followed by refeeding may promote compensatory growth, thus optimizing growth performance. During ...

Muscle growth mechanisms are controlled by molecular pathways that can be affected by fasting and refeeding. In this study, we hypothesized that short period of fasting followed by refeeding would change the expression of ...

Seasonal growth of G. maculatus in Tierra del Fuego, at the southern limit of its distribution, would be explained by the variation of extrinsic factors, and experiments of fasting under summer conditions would allow ...

The present study evaluated the effects of different fasting periods on survival rate, growth, muscle development and compensatory growth in pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) larvae. In Phase I, larvae (5 days post hatching, ...
