“…Even though the distribution of the fiber types was very conserved in all the species, there was a consistent variation of the proportion of the different zones from the proximal to the distal ends of the muscle . A similar zonation has also been found in Antarctic nototheniods (Walesby and Johnston 1980;Davison and MacDonald 1985;Harrison et al 1987) and in other teleosts (Patterson et al 2007;Devincenti et al 2008). While slow muscle fibers are abundant in notothenioids, leaving an external marginal location to the fast fibers, the opposite situation is observed in the other teleosts studied.…”

Fish skeletal muscle is an excellent model for studying muscle structure and function, since it has a very well-structured arrangement with different fiber types segregated in the axial and pectoral fin muscles. The morphological and physiological characteristics of the different muscle fiber types have been studied in several teleost species. In fish muscle, fiber number and size varies with the species considered, limiting fish maximum final length due to constraints in metabolites and oxygen diffusion. In this work, we analyze some special characteristics of the skeletal muscle of the suborder Notothenioidei. They experienced an impressive radiation inside Antarctic waters, a stable and cold environment that could account for some of their special characteristics. The number of muscle fibers is very low, 12,700-164,000, in comparison to 550,000-1,200,000 in Salmo salar of similar sizes. The size of the fibers is very large, reaching 600 microm in diameter, while for example Salmo salar of similar sizes have fibers of 220 microm maximum diameter. Evolutionary adjustment in cell cycle length for working at low temperature has been shown in Harpagifer antarcticus (111 h at 0 degrees C), when compared to the closely related sub-Antarctic species Harpagifer bispinis (150 h at 5 degrees C). Maximum muscle fiber number decreases towards the more derived notothenioids, a trend that is more related to phylogeny than to geographical distribution (and hence water temperature), with values as low as 3,600 in Harpagifer bispinis. Mitochondria volume density in slow muscles of notothenioids is very high (reaching 0.56) and since maximal rates of substrate oxidation by mitochondria is not enhanced, at least in demersal notothenioids, volume density is the only means of overcoming thermal constraints on oxidative capacity. In brief, some characteristics of the muscles of notothenioids have an apparent phylogenetic component while others seem to be adaptations to low temperature.

“…We propose that FHL2 may have the same behavior in seabream slow muscle tissue, as reported for FHL1 in trout [40]. FHL2 gene expression could also be detected in proliferating muscle cells of the pectoral fin at 10 and 20 DPF, which should be related to the locomotion needs of the larvae [43]. The FHL2 positive craniofacial musculature in the juvenile supports a conserved functional relevance of this gene for muscle growth and maintenance during late fish development.…”

Four-and-a-half LIM domains protein 2 (FHL2) is involved in major cellular mechanisms such as regulation of gene transcription and cytoskeleton modulation, participating in physiological control of cardiogenesis and osteogenesis. Knowledge on underlying mechanisms is, however, limited. We present here new data on FHL2 protein and its role during vertebrate development using a marine teleost fish, the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.). In silico comparison of vertebrate protein sequences and prediction of LIM domain three-dimensional structure revealed a high degree of conservation, suggesting a conserved function throughout evolution. Determination of sites and levels of FHL2 gene expression in seabream indicated a central role for FHL2 in the development of heart and craniofacial musculature, and a potential role in tissue calcification. Our data confirmed the key role of FHL2 protein during vertebrate development and gave new insights into its particular involvement in craniofacial muscle development and specificity for slow fibers.

“…Comparative studies of ontogenetic process require not only embryonic, but also postembryonic staging tables, as several important morphogenetic processes which form characteristic features of each species (for example, internal and external skeletal structures and scale patterns) are known to proceed during postembryonic stages (Arratia et al, 1990, 1991; Cubbage and Mabee, 1996; Schilling and Kimmel, 1997; Van der Heyden and Huyssune, 2000; Van der Heyden et al, 2000; Witten et al, 2001; Yelick and Schilling, 2002; Mabee et al, 2002; Bird and Mabee, 2003; Sire and Huysseune, 2003; Webb and Shirey, 2003; Elizondo et al, 2005; Sire and Akimenko, 2004; Thorsen and Hale, 2005; Patricia et al, 2007; Patterson et al, 2008; Parichy et al, 2009; Kimmel et al, 2010; Budi et al, 2011; Bensimon‐Brito et al, 2012). However, at present there is no widely available postembryonic developmental staging table for goldfish, in practice.…”

Background: Artificial selection of postembryonic features is known to have established morphological variation in goldfish (Carassius auratus). Although previous studies have suggested that goldfish and zebrafish are almost directly comparable at the embryonic level, little is known at the postembryonic level. Results: Here, we categorized the postembryonic developmental process in the wild‐type goldfish into 11 different stages. We also report certain differences between the postembryonic developmental processes of goldfish and zebrafish, especially in the skeletal systems (scales and median fin skeletons), suggesting that postembryonic development underwent evolutionary divergence in these two teleost species. Conclusions: Our postembryonic staging system of wild‐type goldfish paves the way for careful and appropriate comparison with other teleost species. The staging system will also facilitate comparative ontogenic analyses between wild‐type and mutant goldfish strains, allowing us to closely study the relationship between artificial selection and molecular developmental mechanisms in vertebrates.
