The goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a domesticated cyprinid teleost closely related to the
crucian carp. Goldfish domestication occurred in South China around 1,000 years ago. At …

Morphological variation of the goldfish is known to have been established by artificial
selection for ornamental purposes during the domestication process. Chinese texts that date …

Although domesticated goldfish strains exhibit highly diversified phenotypes in morphology,
the genetic basis underlying these phenotypes is poorly understood. Here, based on …

Fish constitute the oldest and most diverse class of vertebrates, and are widely used in basic
research due to a number of advantages (eg, rapid development ex-utero, large-scale …

The remarkable ability of the heart to regenerate has been demonstrated in the zebrafish
and giant danio, two fish members of the cyprinid family. Here we use light and electron …

Twin-tail goldfish possess a bifurcated caudal axial skeleton. The scarcity of this trait in
nature suggests that a rare mutation, which drastically altered the mechanisms underlying …

Breeders and fanciers have established many peculiar morphological phenotypes in
ornamental goldfish. Among them, the twin-tail and dorsal-finless phenotypes have …

Background Amphiprion ocellaris is one of the rare reef fish species that can be reared in
aquaria. It is increasingly used as a model species for Eco‐Evo‐Devo. Therefore, it is …

Artificial selection has been widely applied to genetically fix rare phenotypic features in
ornamental domesticated animals. For many of these animals, the mutated loci and alleles …

Background: Artificial selection of postembryonic features is known to have established
morphological variation in goldfish (Carassius auratus). Although previous studies have …
