Pigment Identification and Gene Expression Analysis during Erythrophore Development in Spotted Scat (<i>Scatophagus argus</i>) Larvae

Red coloration is considered an economically important trait in some fish species, including spotted scat, a marine aquaculture fish. Erythrophores are gradually covered by melanophores from the embryonic stage. Despite studies of black spot formation and melanophore coloration in the species, littl...
