Molecular Characterization of Embryos with Different Buoyancy Levels in the Yellowtail Kingfish (<i>Seriola lalandi</i>)

The buoyancy of eggs and embryos is associated with successful development in pelagic fish. Buoyancy is the result of oocyte hydration, which depends on the osmotic force exerted by free amino acids (FAA) generated by yolk proteolysis, and cathepsins are the main enzymes involved in this process. &l...
