Cyprinus carpio^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}, Carassius auratus¹⁰, Fundulus heteroclitus¹⁰, Myoxocephalus scorpius^11,12, Stenotomus chrysops^13,14, Oncorhynchus mykiss¹⁵.

MyHC, myosin heavy chain; LC3_f:LC1_f ratio, molar ratio of isoforms of fast myosin light chain 3 to fast muscle myosin light chain 1.

Upward-facing arrows indicate an increase; downward-pointing, a decrease;dashes, no change; ND, not determined; P_max, maximum tension; V_max, maximum unloaded shortening speed; *indicates a decrease in twitch contraction time (force onset to 50%relaxation); activation and relaxation times were not separately reported.
