Genetic parameters of color phenotypes of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is the second most important aquaculture species of shrimp in the world. In addition to growth traits, uncooked and cooked body color of shrimp are traits of significance for profitability and consumer acceptance ...

Comparative Analysis of Different Body Composition, Mucus Biochemical Indices, and Body Color in Five Strains of Larimichthys crocea

Fishes
The large yellow croaker, or Larimichthys crocea, is highly prized for its golden color and nutritional content. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in body composition, mucus biochemical indices and body color in five strains of

Creation of body color mutants by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides

Aquaculture Reports
Largemouth bass (LMB, Microterus salmoides) is an important commercial freshwater fish, and body color is a key economic trait for quality improvement. Gene editing has not been established in LMB due to the unavailability of one-cell fertilized eggs. In

Thyroid hormone regulates both melanin and non-melanin pigmentation in Sinibrama taeniatus via three types of chromophores

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionBody color is a prominent phenotypic trait and a significant economic characteristic in fish. While current research mainly examines the effects of genetic factors, less emphasis has been placed on the role of endogenous hormones in fish body

The effect of aquarium color background on the survival, growth performance, body coloration, and enzymatic activity of laboratory cultured Cherax quadricarinatus juveniles

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
The effect of different background colors (red, yellow, blue, green, white, and black) on crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus juveniles was evaluated over a 50-day rearing period. Survival, growth, body color, and enzymatic activity were assessed.

Local adaptation for body color in Drosophila americana [PDF]

Heredity, 2010
Pigmentation is one of the most variable traits within and between Drosophila species. Much of this diversity appears to be adaptive, with environmental factors often invoked as selective forces. Here, we describe the geographic structure of pigmentation in Drosophila americana and evaluate the hypothesis that it is a locally adapted trait.

Sequence variation in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) pigmentation gene and its role in the cryptic coloration of two South American sand lizards

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012
In reptiles, dorsal body darkness often varies with substrate color or temperature environment, and is generally presumed to be an adaptation for crypsis or thermoregulation. However, the genetic basis of pigmentation is poorly known in this group.

DNA Methylation and Transcriptome Profiling Reveal the Role of the Antioxidant Pathway and Lipid Metabolism in Plectropomus leopardus Skin Color Formation

Antioxidants
Leopard coral grouper (Plectropomus leopardus), possessing a distinct red body color, is an important species in commercial markets; however, the high ratio of black individuals under intensive cultivation has limited the commercial value of the species.
