Flatfish Metamorphosis

Bol

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the developmental and evolutionary advances in flatfish metamorphosis. The chapters feature the latest developments in flatfish metamorphosis research and cover such topics as the tissue mode for explaining eye migration, the developmental relationship among metamorphic events, molecular basis of eye migration, front bone deformation, dorsal fin elongation and regression, and body depth change during metamorphosis, mechanism on left/right asymmetrical pigmentation, hypothesis on the mechanism of eye migration, and the evolutionary origin of left/right eye asymmetry. The book written by Baolong BAO, who has worked on flatfish metamorphosis over 20 years, will serve as an invaluable reference for the flatfish researchers. This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the development and evolution of flatfish metamorphosis. The chapters use the tissue model to explain a series of metamorphic events， including eye migration, front bone deformation, dorsal fin elongation and regression, and body depth change, left/right asymmetrical pigmentation, give a hypothesis on the mechanism of eye migration, and the evolutionary origin of left/right eye asymmetry. The book is written by expert who has worked on flatfish metamorphosis over 20 years. It serves as a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in related fields
