Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on fish scale formation and resorption—II. Effect of estradiol on calcium homeostasis and skeletal tissue resorption in the goldfish, Carassius auratus, and the killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus
Yasuo Mugiya,Norimitsu Watabe +1 more
TL;DR: Skeletal tissue resorption was examined by estradiol injection in 45Ca-prelabeled fish, Carassius auratus and Fundulus heteroclitus and no evidence was obtained in favor of Ca resOrption from the vertebra, jaw and otolith.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ultrastructure of the otolithic membrane and otolith in the juvenile mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that the fibrous material of the subcupular meshwork is incorporated into the otolith as an organic matrix constituent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on fish scale formation and resorption. III. Fine structure and calcification of the fibrillary plates of the scales in Carassius auratus (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).
Hiroshi Onozato,Norimitsu Watabe +1 more
TL;DR: Electron microscopic investigation of scales of the goldfish Carassius auratus revealed that the lamellae of fibrillary plates contain sheet-like structures composed of vertically oriented collagen fibers embedded in an organic matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal rhythm in otolith formation in the goldfish, Carassius auratus
TL;DR: In this article, the presence of diurnal rhythm in otolith formation was examined physiologically in the goldfish, Carassius auratus, and the 45 Ca uptake by otoliths indicated that the formation slowed down or stopped at sunrise and resumed in 3 hours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the biology of fish bone. III. Ultrastructure of osteogenesis and resorption in osteocytic (cellular) and anosteocytic (acellular) bones.
Roy E. Weiss,Norimitsu Watabe +1 more
TL;DR: The comparative ultrastructure of fish bone osteogenesis and resorption induced by scale removal was described in the osteocytic Carassius auratus and the anosteocytic Tilapia macrocephala and these cells were characterized by large amounts of granular endoplasmic reticulum and intracellular inclusions containing crystal-like material.
