As a child, my family had goldfish for several years, and I still miss the excitement of when my mother added a new one to the tank.
Several types of fish (particularly goldfish) have been shown experimentally to have strong spatial memory abilities, even forming "cognitive maps" of the areas they inhabit.
The bacterium was isolated from different host species [ 2, 23, 24], including several salmonid species, channel catfish, goldfish, common carp, European eel, coalfish, and perch.
In the present study several mPR receptors were identified in goldfish and zebrafish olfactory epithelia.
This form of growth was shown in several different fish species, such as goldfish, zebrafish and medaka (Johns, 1977; Allison et al., 2010; Centanin et al., 2011).
Abundant expression of NUCB2 mRNA was detected in several tissues including the brain and liver of goldfish.
In order to characterize V2R genes in teleost fishes, we searched zebrafish, medaka, fugu, and pufferfish genomic sequences using the trans-membrane (TM) domain of several representative fish V2Rs known in fugu [ 16], goldfish [ 10], and zebrafish [ 15] as queries.
First, a TBLASTN search was conducted with E-value 10-10 againsthehe genomic data by using the TM domain of several representative V2R amino acid sequences known in fugu, goldfish, and zebrafish as queries.
Several other proteins identified as differentially regulated by DA in goldfish have also been reported to be involved in human neurological disorders.
Several valuable aquaculture species like Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) or goldfish (Carassius auratus) cannot survive in icy sea water, which poses severe limitations in culturing commercially important fishes in colder climates.
