Fig. 9

The choker phenotype. (A,B) Adult individuals, displaying parallel stripes with arbitrary orientation. choker adults can reach normal sizes and are fertile. (C-E) Metamorphic development. In the absence of the horizontal myoseptum, melanophores appear before iridophores and xanthophores, evenly dispersed over the flank (C). Iridophores and xanthophores emerge in patches interspersed with melanophores (D), but then aggregate into stripe-like arrangements, and separate from melanophore regions (E). The aorta is visible as dark horizontal shade in C. Scale bars: 250 μm.
