Transcriptome of goby fish larvae reared in fresh- and seawater. Gymnogobius

To elucidate physiological and genetic changes required for the migration loss of diadromous fish, we focused on three congeneric amphidromous (a type of diadromous) species (Gymnogobius: Gobiidae) with different dependency on freshwater habitats. This study compared larval whole-body transcriptome when the larvae were reared under fresh- and seawater conditions among those species.

为阐明洄游性鱼类（diadromous fish）丧失洄游行为所需的生理与遗传变化，本研究聚焦3种对淡水生境依赖程度存在差异的同属两域洄游（amphidromous，一类洄游鱼类）物种（裸虾虎鱼属（Gymnogobius）：虾虎鱼科（Gobiidae））。本研究对比了上述物种的幼体在淡水与海水饲养环境下的全身体转录组（transcriptome）。
