Tissue-Specific Preferential Expression of the Xiphophorus xiphidium Allele for 6-Phosphogluconate Dehydrogenase in Interspecific Hybrids of Platyfish (Poeciliidae, Teleostei)

  • Conference paper
Genetics and Mutagenesis of Fish

Abstract

In fishes of the genus Xiphophorus sensu Gordon and Rosen (1951) (including platyfish and swordtails) interspecific hybrids can be easily obtained by crossing under experimental conditions in the aquarium (Gerschler, 1914; Bellamy, 1922; Kosswig, 1927; Häussier, 1928; Gordon, 1931; Breider, 1934) or by artificial insemination (Clark, 1950; Zander, 1961). Since most of these hybrids are fertile, they offer unique opportunities for biological research.
