Open AccessTranscriptional analysis of renal dopamine-mediated Na+ homeostasis response to environmental salinity stress in Scatophagus argus
To control the osmotic pressure in the body, physiological adjustments to salinity fluctuations require the fish to regulate body fluid homeostasis in relation to environmental change via osmoregulation. Previ...

SNP discovery using high-throughput 454 pyrosequencing and validation in the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus
The spotted scat, Scatophagus argus, has become a popular commercial fish in recent years. However, spotted scat fingerlings originate mainly from wild resources due to difficulties in the artificial propagation ...
