This Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) describes the linkage between Deiodinase 2 inhibition and increased mortality via reduced posterior swim bladder inflation. The is a gas-filled organ found in many bony fish species typically consists of two chambers. chamber inflates during early development (embryo), while anterior late (larva). Both chambers are important for to control buoyancy has an addi...
