Expression of the taurine transporter during Senegalese sole ontogeny Senegalese sole larvae grew exponentially during the experimental period, attaining approximately 5 mg DW and 13 mm TL by the end of the ﬁrst month of develop- ment. Eye migration started at 12 DAH, with about 45% of the larvae being found in early metamorphic stage 1 and around 33% at middle metamorphic stage 2 (Fig. 2). At 20 DAH, 95% of Senegalese sole larvae had ﬁnished eye migration (later metamorphic stage 4), but this process was only concluded in all larvae at 30 DAH. The expression of TauT in Senegalese sole larvae increased along the ﬁrst month of development (Fig. 2). This increase was primarily signiﬁcant from 6 to 12 DAH, while the highest expression level was found at 30 DAH. In 123
