Fig. 11. Analysis of the sensitivity of 
(the coefficient of variation, defined
as the ratio of s.d. over mean strain) for the normalized body curvature
as a function of developmental time.
For each combination of developmental time and
, the lowest absolute value of
was computed using Eqn 25. The
lower the absolute values of , the better the strain uniformity in the
examined muscle-fibre population. Values of
are indicated at the right side of
each curve. (A) Results for deformation type I and (B) type II. Black curves
show the computation for the convex side of the fish, blue curves are for the
concave side. Values of are hardly influenced by body curvature at the
youngest stages (up to 15 days). The best uniformity is obtained for the
strongest curvatures for the two oldest stages. The results are again very
similar for the two deformation types.
