Pigment Identification and Gene Expression Analysis during Erythrophore Development in Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus) Larvae. [PDF]
Red coloration is considered an economically important trait in some fish species, including spotted scat, a marine aquaculture fish. Erythrophores are gradually covered by melanophores from the embryonic stage. Despite studies of black spot formation and melanophore coloration in the species, little is known about erythrophore development, which is ...

Identification, Expression, and Functions of the Somatostatin Gene Family in Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus). [PDF]
Somatostatins (SSTs) are a family of proteins consisting of structurally diverse polypeptides that play important roles in the growth regulation in vertebrates. In the present study, four somatostatin genes (SST1, SST3, SST5, and SST6) were identified and characterized in the spotted scat (Scatophagus argus).
