Fig. 1 The spiegeldanio Mutant Zebrafish and the Mirror Carp Display Highly Similar Scale Phenotypes
(A–E) Alizarin red stain showing the skeleton of wild-type (A and B) and spiegeldanio (spd) (C and D) zebrafish in comparison to the mirror variety of the common carp (E).
(A, C, and E) Lateral views.
(B and D) Dorsal views.
(F and G) Effect of the spd and common carp mirror mutation on the number (F) and size (G) of scales. Error bars represent standard deviation of the mean. **p < 0.005, ***p < 0.0005 versus wild-type (WT).
(F) Mean total number of scales from one flank each of three fish from each genotype.
(G) Five scales from each of three individual fish for each genotype were used for size analysis (light gray bars indicate anterior-posterior; medium gray bars indicate dorsal-ventral). Size is normalized to total standard length.
