Identification of key genes related to growth of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) based on comprehensive transcriptome analysis
IntroductionLargemouth bass is an economically important farmed freshwater fish species that has delicious meat, no intermuscular thorns, and rapid growth rates.However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying the different growth and developmental stages of this fish have not been reported.MethodsIn this study, we performed histological and
