“…All these pathways seem to be interconnected (34)(35)(36)(37)(38) [Chen et al, 2010, Youle et al, 2012, Rugarli and Langer, 2012, Labbadia et al, 2013, Tublin et al, 2019 and previously reported to be linked to perturbations in mitochondrial maintenance, localization, and activity along with aberrant protein folding (37,39) [Williams andPaulson, 2008, Labbadia et al, 2013], all of whom signatures were observed in our study, leading to subsequent impairments in normal development (38) [Tublin et al, 2019]. The cardiac muscle contraction pathway was previously linked to a cardiac and yolk sac edema phenotype observed in zebrafish eggs lacking certain vtgs in their genomes (23,24) (Yilmaz et al, 2019(Yilmaz et al, , 2021. Further research targeting morphological observations on development of offspring originating from different quality halibut egg batches are needed.…”
