- Summary:
- This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the developmental and evolutionary advances in flatfish metamorphosis. The chapters feature the latest developments in flatfish metamorphosis research and cover such topics as the tissue mode for explaining eye migration, the developmental relationship among metamorphic events, molecular basis of eye migration, front bone deformation, dorsal fin elongation and regression, and body depth change during metamorphosis, mechanism on left/right asymmetrical pigmentation, hypothesis on the mechanism of eye migration, and the evolutionary origin of left/right eye asymmetry. The book written by Baolong BAO, who has worked on flatfish metamorphosis over 20 years, will serve as an invaluable reference for the flatfish researchers.
