Pigment abnormalities in flatfish
Aquaculture, 1999Abstract Pigment abnormalities have been reported to occur on both sides of flatfish. Hypomelanosis or pseudo-albinism, characterized by white patches or areas devoid of normal pigmentation on the ocular surface of the skin, is common in both wild and hatchery reared flatfish. The blind side may display hypermelanosis in the form of dark spots, known

Respiratory Currents of Flatfish
Nature, 1967WE 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).

The background adaptation of the flatfish, Paralichthys olivaceus
Physiology & Behavior, 1991The background adaptation of the flatfish, Paralichthys olivaceus, was studied by sliding beneath the fish a long strip of plastic sheet with various patterns to serve as a background. The body shade and pattern differed depending upon the pattern used.

Flatfish metamorphosis: A hypothalamic independent process?
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2015Anuran and flatfish metamorphosis are tightly regulated by thyroid hormones that are the necessary and sufficient factors that drive this developmental event. In the present study whole mount in situ hybridization (WISH) and quantitative PCR in sole are used to explore the central regulation of flatfish metamorphosis.

Neuronal adaptation accompanying metamorphosis in the flatfish
Journal of Neurobiology, 1990AbstractFlatfish provide a natural paradigm to investigate adaptive changes in the central nervous system of vertebrates. During their metamorphosis, the animals undergo a 90° tilt to one side or the other to become the bottom‐adapted adult flatfish. The eye on the down side is pushed over to the up side.

Epidermal Lesions in Irish Sea Flatfish
Nature, 1973PERKINS et al.1 suggest that the apparent increase of epidermal lesions in the flatfish of the north-east Irish Sea during 1971 may be associated with pollutants, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). They suggest that the simultaneous increase of lymphocystis, fin damage and ulcers represents an abnormal situation that may have resulted from ...

Inhibition of immediate hypersensitivity responses in flatfish
Experientia, 1975Comme le cromoglycate disodique et la diethylcarbamazine (qui ne sont pas des antistaminiques) inhibent la reaction d'hypersensibilite immediate chezPleuronectes platessa a la suite d'une injection intradermique d'extraits fungiques, il semble que les mediateurs autres que l'histamine peuvent etre impliques.

Twisted story of eye migration in flatfish
Journal of Morphology, 2006Early 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 ...

Mitochondrial genomic investigation of flatfish monophyly
Gene, 2014We 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 ...
