Fish coloration, evolved from selection and adaptation, is a prominent feature of remarkable
aquaculture merits. Fish possess more pigment cell types than any other vertebrates and are …

Physiological color change is important for background matching, thermoregulation as well
as signaling and is in vertebrates mediated by synchronous intracellular transport of …

Cichlid fishes constitute one of the most species-rich families of vertebrates. In addition to
complex social behaviour and morphological versatility, they are characterised by extensive …

Skin pigmentation pattern is a species-specific characteristic that depends on the number
and the spatial combination of several types of chromatophores. This feature can change …

The skin is a barrier between the internal and external environment of an organism.
Depending on the species, it participates in multiple functions. The skin is the organ that …

As global climate changes, mass mortality in farmed fish associated with the severely cold
weather has aroused growing concerns. Yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) is an important …

Red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) is an inter-specific hybridization between two tilapia strains
by directional breeding. It is favored by consumers due to the color and market value …

Tanks offer significant flexibility for aquaculture production. When in an optimally operated
water reuse configuration, they enable farming of most, if not all species of fish, in …

Chromatophores are pigment-bearing cells of lower vertebrates, including fish that cater for
the ability of individual animals to shift body coloration and pattern. Color change provides …
