| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to accumulate the basic scientific knowledge on the metamorphosis in fish to help establishing more efficient production of the flounder aquaculture which has a huge economical impact in Japan. I conducted molecular and developmental genetic studies using medaka as a model. GFP transgenic lines were generated in order to monitor in vivo thyroid hormone level in a live fish. In another approach to establish medaka as a model system for studying metamorphosis, approximately 20 candidate marker genes that are implicated in thyroid grand development and/or thyroid hormone signaling were cloned and their embryonic expression patterns were examined.
