- Abstract:
- It is proposed to investigate patterns of muscle growth in the four morphs of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) found in Lake Thingvallavatn, Iceland. Hypotheses concerning the molecular mechanisms that underlie differences in maximum muscle mass between the morphs will be investigated. The interactions between environmental conditions during early development and muscle satellite cell numbers and fibre recruitment patterns will be investigated in laboratory studies. We wish to test the hypothesis that there are varying levels of phenotypic plasticity in muscle fibre recruitment between morphs, reflecting the stability of environmental conditions during early development.
