Directional asymmetry in gonad length indicates moray eels (Teleostei, Anguilliformes, Muraenidae) are “right-gonadal” [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Directional asymmetry indicates a unidirectional deviation from perfect bilateral symmetry, which was rarely examined in the inner organs of the teleost (Teleostei) compared to external traits.
