A positive correlation was found to exist between the growth of the myotomes, in thickness, and that of the body length of Ophicephalus punctatus Bloch, a common freshwater teleost. The changes in the absolute and the relative growth of the myotomes, as observed in this fish, were found to be age-specific. The constancy in the mysosomatic indices as also in the ratios of the differential growth rates of the myotomes did not seem to permit any divergence from the linear relation between the growth of the body and the myotomes.
在常见的淡水硬骨鱼斑鳢（Ophicephalus punctatus Bloch）中，已发现肌节厚度的增长与体长的增长之间存在正相关。在这种鱼中观察到，肌节的绝对生长和相对生长的变化具有年龄特异性。肌躯指数以及肌节差异生长率的比率的恒定似乎不允许身体生长与肌节生长之间的线性关系出现任何偏差。
