Dorsal-ventral distribution of melanophores during metamorphosis. (A) Distribution and number of melanophores in 15 dpf WT and asip1K.O. fish. At this stage, asip1K.O. already shows significantly higher number of melanophores in the ventral view of the head. (B) Distribution and number of melanophores in WT and asip1K.O. 30 dpf fish. At this stage, asip1K.O. shows significantly higher number of melanophores in the ventral view of the head, but also in the belly. Data are the mean ± SEM, n = 7. Asterisks indicate significant differences between WT and asip1K.O. fish. Scale bar: (A) 200 μm, (B) 500 μm.
