Relative mRNA expression of Slα (○) and Slβ (●) in the pituitary and slr (▼) in the ovary o f Atlantic salmon female broodstock according to follicle stage. OD = oil drop, PY = primary yolk, SY = secondary yolk, TY = tertiary yolk. Each point represents mean ± SEM of n = 14–24 per stage and * denotes significance at P < 0.0166. Relative transcription levels were normalized to ef1α and compared to the initial OD stage.
