Linear regressions estimated from correlation analyses between stomach specific gene markers during Atlantic halibut ontogeny. Linear regression models were fitted to log-transformed mean expression values (MNE) of A) gastric H⁺/K⁺-ATPase α subunit and β subunit; B) pepsinogen A2 and H⁺/K⁺-ATPase β subunit (black squares and solid line) as well as H⁺/K⁺-ATPase α subunit (grey dots and dashed line); C) ghrelin and H⁺/K⁺-ATPase β subunit (black squares and solid line), H⁺/K⁺-ATPase α subunit (grey dots and dashed line) as well as pepsinogen A2 (light grey triangles and dotted line). All correlations are significant (p < 0.05). The log-transformed mean of MNE per stage (5 to10) was taken from six individuals.
