Abstract
Bone evolved first in fish as a specialized form of the connective tissue. Therefore, fish bone is considered to be most primitive in morphological as well as metabolic aspects. On the other hand, fish have evolved a characteristic type of bone, the acellular bone, which does not contain any osteocytes in its matrix [1,2]. In order to investigate the metabolism of acellular bone, we examined the effects of calcium and phosphate deficiencies on the activities of formation and resorption of the pharyngeal bone in a teleost, tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
