SOME NEUROHUMORAL EVIDENCE FOR DOUBLE INNERVATION OF XANTHOPHORES IN KILLIFISH (FUNDULUS)
In a majority of over 50 Fundulus majalis tested, the part of a previously faded primary denervated caudal band flanked by two new secondary bands showed pigment dispersal in its xanthophores, as if affected by the stronger dispersal in those of the adjacent secondary bands.

Previous work on killifishes has shown the yellow pigmentary effectors (xanthophores) of Fundulus heteroclitus and F. majalis to be subject to humoral control and to direct, probably double, nervous control permitting independence from melanophore responses.1 A pituitary hormone dominates the xanthophores of the minnow Phoxinus,2 as it does amphibian ...
