Expressions of key genes in phospholipid and lipoprotein synthesis pathways in pyloric caeca at early stage of salmon. Eighteen families of homologous genes in phospholipid (PL) de-novo synthesis (a), lyso-phospholipid (lyso-PL) synthesis (b) and lipoprotein formation (c) pathways are shown for comparing their relative expression in transcripts per million (TPM) between 0.16, 2.5 and 10 g fish. Genes with high TPM are marked in purple and orange, while other genes were all marked in black. Points that significantly different in expression (q < 0.05) compared to 0.16 g using differential expression analysis on raw counts are annotated with an asterisk
