The draft genome of the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) provides insights into its evolution and vegetarian adaptation
The grass carp is an important farmed fish, accounting for ∼16% of global freshwater aquaculture, and has a vegetarian diet. Here we report a 0.9-Gb...

Expression of the Transcription Factor Pax6 in the Lobe of the Facial Nerve of the Carp Brain
Using immunoperoxidase labeling, we examined the distribution of the transcription factor Pax6 in the unpaired lobe of the facial nerve ( lobus impar...

Differential expression and ligand binding indicate alternative functions for zebrafish polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) and a family of pIgR-like (PIGRL) proteins
The polymeric immunoglobulin (Ig) receptor (pIgR) is an integral transmembrane glycoprotein that plays an important role in the mammalian immune...

Antibody Repertoires in Fish
As in mammals, cartilaginous and teleost fishes possess adaptive immune systems based on antigen recognition by immunoglobulins (Ig), T cell...

Characterization of the torafugu (Takifugu rubripes) immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus
In this study, we investigated the immunoglobulin heavy (IGH) gene locus of torafugu ( Takifugu rubripes ) from publicly available assembly sequences...

Comparative analysis of the gonadal transcriptomes of the all-female species Poecilia formosa and its maternal ancestor Poecilia mexicana
BackgroundThe Amazon molly, Poecilia formosa (Teleostei: Poeciliinae) is an unisexual, all-female species. It evolved through the hybridisation of...

Construction of a high-coverage bacterial artificial chromosome library and comprehensive genetic linkage map of yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata
BackgroundJapanese amberjack/yellowtail ( Seriola quinqueradiata ) is a commonly cultured marine fish in Japan. For cost effective fish production, a...

Effects of long-term diazinon exposure on some immunological and haematological parameters in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)
Metagenome analysis was used to monitor changes in microbial population during the industrial-scale batch fermentation period (0, 15 days and 2...

Whole-genome sequence of a flatfish provides insights into ZW sex chromosome evolution and adaptation to a benthic lifestyle
Genetic sex determination by W and Z chromosomes has developed independently in different groups of organisms. To better understand the evolution of...

Large-scale genome duplications and paralog divergence in fish
Based on fish genomic studies, we review mechanisms of divergence in duplicated genes (paralogs), resulted in small (“subfunctionalization”) or large...

Morphological Diversity, Development, and Evolution of the Mechanosensory Lateral Line System
Morphological, physiological, behavioral, and developmental studies of the mechanosensory lateral line system are used to define sources of...

Blood-Tissue Barriers
The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is known for its ability to create an immune privilege site in the seminiferous epithelium, but less is known of the...

Processes of Proliferation and Apoptosis in the Brain of the Amur Sturgeon
Using techniques of immunoperoxidase staining of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and TUNEL labeling of fragmented DNA, we studied sites of...

Hydrogen Sulfide-, Parvalbumin-, and GABA-Producing Systems in the Masu Salmon Brain
Using immunohistochemical techniques, we determined localization of the zones of positivity with respect to cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS, the enzyme...

The development and general morphology of the telencephalon of actinopterygian fishes: synopsis, documentation and commentary
The Actinopterygii or ray-finned fishes comprise, in addition to the large superorder of teleosts, four other superorders, namely the cladistians,...

Changes in the Motor Asymmetry and Structure of Mauthner Neurons of the Goldfish Resulting from Unilateral Visual Deprivation
We studied the effects of unilateral enucleation of the eye on the motor asymmetry of goldfish fries and morphometric characteristics of their...

Independent fusions and recent origins of sex chromosomes in the evolution and diversification of glass knife fishes (Eigenmannia)
The genus Eigenmannia comprises several species groups that display a surprising variety of diploid chromosome numbers and sex-determining systems....

Plate-like permanent dental laminae of upper jaw dentition in adult gobiid fish, Sicyopterus japonicus
Sicyopterus japonicus (Teleostei, Gobiidae) possesses a unique upper jaw dentition different from that known for any other teleosts. In the adults,...

Macroglial cells of the teleost central nervous system: a survey of the main types
Following our previous review of teleost microglia, we focus here on the morphological and histochemical features of the three principal macroglia...
