Fig. 1From: Transcriptome profiling in fast versus slow-growing rainbow trout across seasonal gradientsExperimental design depicting the selection of size-matched differences of a large and small fish selected from 3 different paternal half-sib families in each of two seasonal spawning lots (September and December). September fish were sampled during a declining growth phase (winter solstice) while December lot fish were sampled during an increasing growth phase (spring equinox) when they were approximately 15 months of age.Back to article page
