The physiology of flatfish chromatophores

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2002
AbstractMost flatfish, of the order Pleuronectiformes, possess a white lower side, and a brown or grey upper side. This upper side can display integumentary patterning with dark areas and colored or white spots. Chromatophores in flatfish are dermal and epidermal melanophores, as well as dermal xanthophores, erythrophores, iridophores, and leucophores,

Mitochondrial genomic investigation of flatfish monophyly

Gene, 2014
We present the first study to use whole mitochondrial genome sequences to examine phylogenetic affinities of the flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes). Flatfishes have attracted attention in evolutionary biology since the early history of the field because understanding the evolutionary history and patterns of diversification of the group will shed light on ...

Respiratory Currents of Flatfish

Nature, 1967
WE have observed specimens of the following species of flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) in an aquarium with a transparent bottom: Scophthalmus maximus (L.) (Bothidae); Limanda limanda (L.), Pleuronectes platessa L. and Platichthys flesus (L.) (Pleuronectidae); Solea solea (L.) and Buglossidium luteutn (Risso) (Soleidae).

Flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) chromatic biology

Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2009
The following aspects of flatfish skin coloration are reviewed. (1) The variety of chromatophores which contribute to the complex integumentary patterns; their relative sizes and numerical distribution. (2) Interspecific variations and intraspecific changes in skin patterns.

Retinomotor Changes in Flatfishes

Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1965
This histological study is concerned with demonstrating the existence of retinomotor changes in flatfishes. In three species, selected as representatives (sole, Solea solea; plaice, Pleuronectes platessa; and merry sole, Microstomus kitt), it is shown that normal radial displacements of rods, cones, and retinal pigment take place in expected ...

Opercular Jetting During Fast-Starts by Flatfishes

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1997
ABSTRACT When attacked by predators, flatfishes perform fast-starts that result in a rapid take-off from the ocean bottom on which they lie. High-speed video recordings of the blind side of flatfishes indicate that they expel a coherent jet of water from the blind-side opercular valve during take-off. Buccal pressure recordings in winter

Twisted story of eye migration in flatfish

Journal of Morphology, 2006
Early molecular markers for flatfish metamorphosis and eye migration must be linked to the ethmoid region, the earliest part of the flatfish cranium to change, as well as chondral and dermal ossification processes. Serial sections, morphological landmarks, and stereology were used to determine where and when the remodeling of tissues and asymmetry ...

Flatfish breeding

2009
Uzgoj romba i lista započinje sedamdesetih godina prošlog stoljeća u Velikoj Britaniji i Francuskoj te se oni smatraju pionirima ovog segmenta akvakulture. Usvajanjem novih tehnologija postepeno je uzgoj romba proširen po zemljama zapadne Evrope uz čije obale ova vrsta prirodno obitava.

Zinc concentrations in juvenile flatfish

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1979
In most demersal and some pelagic marine fish O- and I-group stages are found on inshore nursery grounds which are often situated in coastal indentations and estuarieswhere flushing rates are low and the build up of persistent pollutants can be correspondingly high. Their movements are restricted, only leaving the nursery areas towards the end of their
