What is it about?

Skeleta muscle growth exhibits a plasticity according to size and environmental conditions. This works presents results from muscle of growing farmed meagre.

Why is it important?

Inidicators of muscle growth and metabolism can give us a clue about how a fish is growing (or not growing). Compared to other farmed fish in European sea water, meagre is growing fast and reach much larger size in less time. We wonder how does this species can do that and what can we see at cellular level of the its muscle tissue?

Perspectives

Muscle growth and metabolism is interesting for various field including animal physiology and Medicine.
