Molecules, 2020 Aquaculture represents a major part of the world’s food supply. This area of food production is developing rapidly, and as such the tools and analytical techniques used to monitor and assess the quality of fish need to also develop and improve.

Maintenance of melanophore morphology and survival is cathepsin and vps11 dependent in zebrafish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Here, we characterize a Danio rerio zebrafish pigment cell mutant (melanophore integrity mutant), which displays a defect in maintenance of melanophore and iridophore number.

Cells, 2021 Zebrafish has emerged as a powerful model in studies dealing with pigment development and pathobiology of pigment diseases. Due to its conserved pigment pattern with established genetic background, the zebrafish is used for screening of active compounds ...

Bar, stripe and spot development in sand-dwelling cichlids from Lake Malawi
EvoDevo, 2019 Background Melanic patterns such as horizontal stripes, vertical bars and spots are common among teleost fishes and often serve roles in camouflage or mimicry. Extensive research in the zebrafish model has shown that the development of horizontal stripes

A quantitative modelling approach to zebrafish pigment pattern formation
eLife, 2020 Pattern formation is a key aspect of development. Adult zebrafish exhibit a striking striped pattern generated through the self-organisation of three different chromatophores.

Semi‐automated MicroED system unveils multiple polymorphs in fish‐derived guanine crystals
Acta Crystallographica Section C, EarlyView.A semi‐automated MicroED data collection and processing system was established and shown to be suitable for the structural investigation of submicrometer‐scale biogenic crystals.Certain fish display silvery or blue colour, not through pigments, but through specialized guanine crystals that exist within iridophore cells in their skin. Within these cells,

Gene expression analysis of zebrafish melanocytes, iridophores, and retinal pigmented epithelium reveals indicators of biological function and developmental origin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In order to facilitate understanding of pigment cell biology, we developed a method to concomitantly purify melanocytes, iridophores, and retinal pigmented epithelium from zebrafish, and analyzed their transcriptomes. Comparing expression data from these

Changes in spectral reflexions from the iridophores of the neon tetra. [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1982 1. The iridescent stripe of the freshwater teleost, the neon tetra, changes from green in the daytime to violet‐blue at night. 2. Spectral reflectance measurements were used to follow these colour changes. 3. Light causes a shift in reflectance to longer wavelengths in living fish and in isolated tissue from the lateral stripe.

Honest signals and sexual conflict: Female lizards carry undesirable indicators of quality
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sex differences in animal coloration often result from sex‐dependent regulatory mechanisms. Still, some species exhibit incomplete sexual dimorphism as females carry a rudimentary version of a costly male trait, leading to intralocus sexual conflict. The

Dynamic colour change predicts movement behaviour in a diadromous fish
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Dynamic changes in colour and pattern facilitate key behavioural functions in animals, particularly camouflage for predator avoidance. However, the benefits of colour change depend on the environmental and behavioural contexts. We tested how colour change interacts with movement behaviour in a freshwater fish by filming individuals in an open ...
