    Changes in morphology and specific gravity in larvae of Lophius litulon (Lophiiformes; Lophiidae) before and after emergence from egg veil

    Species of the genus Lophius spawn ribbon-shaped egg masses called an “egg veil.” Egg veils are composed of numerous mucoid chambers each envelo** eggs. The subsequent larvae have been observed to remain in the...

    Molecular genetic identification of Japanese sand lances using mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 restriction fragment length polymorphisms

    We developed a novel molecular genetic method using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to identify the taxonomically debatable Japanese sand lances of the genus Ammodytes. Partial nucleotide sequen...
