Study Objectives

  1. Determine differences in length, weight, morphometry, lipid levels and lipid composition in cultured leans and siscowets.
  2. Determine the timing of first reproduction and fecundity in cultured leans and siscowets.
  3. Determine differences in gene expression in muscle and liver between cultured leans and siscowets and develop antibody to C1q-protein 2.
