“…Japanese flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ) (Katagiri, Hirono, & Aoki, ), puffer fish ( Fugu rubripes ) (Yeo, Elgar, Sandford, & Brenner, ), carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) (Uemura, Yano, Shiraishi, & Nakao, ), rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) (Tomlinson, Stanley, & Esser, ), grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ) (Li, Chang, & Nie, ), largemouth bronze gudgeon ( Coreius guichenoti ) (Fu, Zhu, & Zhang, ) and southern catfish ( Silurus meridionalis ) (Fu, Zhu, Zhang, & Hou, ). The liver seems to be the primary site of synthesis for C9 with most abundant expression (Fu et al, ; Li et al, ; Wang, Xu, Yuhao, Ye, & Hua, ; Wickramaarachchi et al, ). However, the expression of this gene during the developmental stages has not yet been studied in any carps except recently looked into in southern catfish (Fu et al, ).…”
