This study compares body shapes and histology across goldfish strains to show that similar globular shapes arise through different developmental pathways.

This study traces the developmental origin of caudal fin muscles in zebrafish using lineage tracing, identifying unique muscle fiber origins in teleosts.

The paper examines muscle fiber distribution in twin-tail goldfish and finds similar patterns in related species, suggesting shared developmental mechanisms despite morphological differences.

The paper investigates rhythmic yolk contractions in goldfish eggs, finding they are intrinsic, independent of fertilization, and may influence dorsoventral patterning.
