Abstract
There are a number of reports documenting skeletal development in groupers but surprisingly little is known about muscle development We have documented muscle development in the sevenband grouper Epinephelus septemfasciatus Thunberg focusing primarily on the cranial muscles from 0 days posthatching dph to 28 dph using a modified whole mount immunohistochemical staining method The eye muscles developed first followed by the cheek muscles which completed development prior to first feeding The muscles associated with the opercle and the levator internus 1 developed gradually and were not linked to first feeding Later between 12 and 16 dph the muscle composition in the dorsal branchial arches changed to the adult form We observed a number of cultured larvae that exhibited abnormal musculature in the body and jaw Our results provide the first documentation of muscle development in larval sevenband grouper This information can be used to detect abnormalities during development and provide a marker to assess the effect of changes in larval rearing techniquesWe would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr S Miwa of the National Research Institute of Aquaculture Fisheries Research Agency for his insight and knowledge during the preparation of this manuscript This study was supported by grants from the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries
