Validation of metabolism-related gene mRNA expression. Midgut (a) and fat body (b) samples of P. auratus from Nara Park and Cape Toi (n = 3 each) were used for RT–qPCR. mRNA expression levels in the midgut and fat body are presented as RQ values, which reflect the relative expression levels calculated using Nara Park samples as 1. Error bars represent the minimum/maximum expression levels relative to the mean RQ expression level. Ribosomal protein 6 was used as an endogenous control. White bars represent Nara Park samples, and gray bars represent Cape Toi samples
