A Glance at the Past of Medaka Fish Biology

  • Chapter
Medaka

Abstract

The physiology, embryology, and genetics of medaka have been extensively studied for the past 100 years. Here we review the past of medaka fish biology as genetic model systems for early development, pigmentation, sex determination, and human diseases.
