Transcriptional profile of LsMGST1L, LsPGES2 and LsPGES3L during development measured by qPCR (a–c) and RNA sequencing (d–f). a, b Transcription level of LsMGST1L and LsPGES3L in all life stages: egg (fertilized), nauplius (nau), copepodites (cop), planktonic copepodites (cop free), cop days post-infestation of fish (cop pdi), chalimus (cha), readult (pad), adult (ad) and mature adult (mat ad). Expression is given as average 2−∆∆Cq ± standard deviation (SD) (N = 5). c Transcription of LsMGST1L, LsPGES2 and LsPGES3L during the reproductive cycle of adult females given as average 2−∆∆Cq ± SD (N = 5). The x-axis indicates the number of days before eggs carried by the female will hatch and new egg extrusion will take place. d–f Detailed ontogenetic expression profile during the chalimus (Cha1, Chal2) and preadult 1 (Pad1) stages: LsMGST1L (d), LsPGES3L (e) and LsPGES2 (f). Data are presented as average counts per million (CPM) ± SD (N = 3). y Young, m middle, o old, mo molting
