Sphericity index of the ventricle during diastolic and systolic events through three post-embryonic stages in mahi.

		Developmental stage
	Contraction state	56 hpf	80 hpf	104 hpf
Sphericity index	End-Diastole	0.45 ± 0.02α	0.42 ± 0.02α	0.54 ± 0.03β
	End-Systole	0.43 ± 0.02α	0.40 ± 0.01α	0.50 ± 0.03β

Superscripted letters indicate significant differences through development (P < 0.05).
