  • Goldfish Morphology As a Model for Evolutionary Developmental Biology
    Overview Goldfish morphology as a model for evolutionary developmental biology Kinya G. Ota* and Gembu Abe Morphological variation of the goldfish is known to have been established by artificial selection for ornamental purposes during the domestication process. Chinese texts that date to the Song dynasty contain descriptions of goldfish breeding for ornamental purposes, indicating that the practice originated over one thousand years ago. Such a well-documented goldfish breeding process, combined with the phylogenetic and embryological proximities of this species with zebrafish, would appear to make the morphologically diverse goldfish strains suitable models for evolutionary developmental (evodevo) studies. How- ever, few modern evodevo studies of goldfish have been conducted. In this review, we provide an overview of the historical background of goldfish breed- ing, and the differences between this teleost and zebrafish from an evolutionary perspective. We also summarize recent progress in the field of molecular devel- opmental genetics, with a particular focus on the twin-tail goldfish morphology. Furthermore, we discuss unanswered questions relating to the evolution of the genome, developmental robustness, and morphologies in the goldfish lineage, with the goal of blazing a path toward an evodevo study paradigm using this tel- eost species as a new model species. © 2016 The Authors.

  • TOP-VIEW GOLDFISH: the OTHER PERSPECTIVE Steve Hopkins
    TOP-VIEW GOLDFISH: THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE Steve Hopkins By some accounts, there are over three hundred varieties of goldfish. These can be grouped in various ways such as by tail type, presence or absence of head growth, presence or absence of dorsal fin, eye shape, etc. They can also be grouped based on a whether they were bred and selected to be viewed from the top or viewed from the side. Originally, all goldfish were kept in shallow ponds, ceramic bowls or other containers and viewed from the top. Considering the thousand-year history of goldfish keeping, the glass aquarium is a relatively new innovation which did not come into use until about 150 years ago. However, being able to easily view goldfish from the side through glass has undoubtedly influenced what characteristics are selected for and impacted the development of new varieties. Today, the goldfish hobbyists are a diverse group. While most goldfish are destined for the home aquarium and represent an indoor diversion, goldfish ponds, tubs and goldfish in the water garden continue to increase in popularity. When choosing a goldfish, it is important to consider how it will be viewed and select a variety which is appropriate for the setting in which it will be displayed. In selecting a top-view goldfish, remember that they are typically seen against a dark background. It does not matter what color your tub or pond was when it was new, over time the surfaces will become covered with algae and other growth and appear dark green to black. Without doubt, red and white metallic-scale goldfish provide the contrast to display best against a dark background.

  • Fancy Goldfish
    Fancy Goldfish The term "Fancy” refers to goldfish that have been specifically bred to enhance certain colours, patterns and or body characteristics when compared with more orthodox or simply shaped goldfish, such as the comet. They are extremely popular with many enthusiasts as they offer some of the most unique and interesting coldwater fish available. As outlined below these fancy goldfish include; celestials, lionheads, pearlscales and orandas to mention just a few. Even though they exhibit many different colour patterns and body characteristics, they are all the one species, Carassius auratus. The domesticated dog Canis lupus familiaris is another great example of this, with a large amount of diversity all originating from the same species. The ancient Chinese kept goldfish some 1600 years ago. The original wild and drab coloured fish were selectively bred to enhance the fishes colour and finage, a practise continuing to this day. Over time breeders have developed many types of unusual or fancy goldfish. While fancy goldfish have the same water quality requirements as standard goldfish, such as comets and fantails, they are generally more sensitive to water quality fluctuations and require regular aquarium maintenance to ensure they remain in good health. Fancy goldfish are more susceptible to suffering from vitamin deficiencies when compared with standard varieties, so it is recommend to include vegetable based foods in their diet. Aquarium Industries Naturals Range Frozen Leafy Spinach is ideal, as it also includes essential vitamins and minerals. Aquatic plants are also a good addition. Common Fancy Varieties Orandas Ranchus Body short and globular. Fins well developed and long.

  • Gill Ectoparasites of Goldfish (Carassius Auratus, Pearl Scale
    Bull. Eur. Ass. Fish Pathol., 29(5) 2009, 175 Gill ectoparasites of goldfish Carassius( auratus, pearl scale variety) imported into Iran H. Ebrahimzadeh Mousavi1*, S. M. Mood1, B. S. Omrani2, B. Mokhayer1, M. Ahmadi1, M. Soltani1, S. S. Mirzargar1, M. Masoumian3 and J. Pazooki4 1Department of Aquatic Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran; 2Faculty of veterinary medicine, Islamic Azad university , Karaj branch, Karaj, Iran; 3Department of Fish Diseases, Iranian Fisheries Research Organization, Tehran, Iran; 4Department of Biological Sciences, Shahid Beheshti university, Tehran, Iran Abstract Over a ten-month period, the gills of one-hundred imported pearlscale goldfish (Carassius auratus) were examined for ectoparasites, before released from quarantine in Iran. Of the nine species of ectoparasites isolated in this study, six were monogeneans (Dactylogyrus vastator, D. baueri, D. formosus, Dactylogyrus sp., Gyrodactylus chinensis and Gyrodactylus. sp.) and three were protistans (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Trichodina sp. and Cryptobia sp.).The isolated parasites were fixed and stained by appropriate methods. The fish were imported from south-Asia. The highest and the lowest levels of parasitism were from D. baueri and I. multifiliis respectively. Though shipments came from up to three exporting regions, all shipments were found to have high prevalence and intensity of parasites. It is suggested that exact quarantine is not performed before retail selling for imported fish. We recommend that before transporting internationally, fish should be examined for high risk parasites and other pathogens to prevent the spread of disease and parasites. Introduction (being kept alive in a glass bowl). This species Ornamental fishkeeping is a progressively has several varieties; common goldfish, comet, popular hobby in Iran.

    American Goldfish Association Goldfish Standards, Revised 2014 A Publication of the American Goldfish Association 1 Preface to the 2014 Edition Welcome to the AGA 2014 edition of the U.S. Goldfish standards. In the previous version of the standards, published in 2009, I wrote about the work that occurred to develop standards in previous years. That important work has led to the development of the current set of standards, and I will instead emphasize the changes that have occurred in the goldfish hobby since 2009. The goldfish hobby, like many others, has experienced changes over the years. In the hundred years or so that goldfish have been raised and exhibited in this country, tastes have changed and the methods for raising, breeding and showing goldfish have improved immeasurably. During that time, goldfish raising and breeding has vacillated between hobbyist-bred fish to commercially-bred fish. We are now at an inflection point in the goldfish hobby, where hobbyist-bred fish are now becoming more prevalent, and have, in many cases, surpassed the commercial quality of fish being offered from the Far East. As a result of this increased emphasis on hobbyist-bred fish, there has also been an increase in the demand for standards which can be used to breed, as well as, show fish. Prior versions of the standards attempted to effect a compromise between general guidelines and specific requirements for breed characteristics. The compromise led to a situation where judges often made subjective choices for show fish which were not always consistent with the “guidelines” or standards then in existence.

  • Swimming in Four Goldfish (Carassius Auratus) Morphotypes: Understanding Functional Design and Performance Through Artificial Selection
    SWIMMING IN FOUR GOLDFISH (CARASSIUS AURATUS) MORPHOTYPES: UNDERSTANDING FUNCTIONAL DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE THROUGH ARTIFICIAL SELECTION by Jason Li B.Sc., University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Zoology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA December 2007 © Jason Li, 2007 ABSTRACT Although artificially selected goldfish exhibit swimming performance decrements, with the most derived morphotypes more affected, they can be utilized to explore functional design and movement pattern principles in aquatic vertebrates. Drag, steady swimming kinematics (tailbeat frequency, amplitude, stride length), energetics (standard and active metabolic rate), fast-start performance (average and maximum velocity and acceleration), stability in yaw and roll and propulsive muscle ultrastructural characteristics (mitochondrial volume density and spacing, myofibril diameter and capillary to fibre ratio in red and white muscle) were measured for four morphotypes: common, comet, fantail and eggfish, of comparable length (≈ 5 cm). A performance “pairing” (common and comet; fantail and eggfish) was a recurrent theme for most performance parameters. Vertebral numbers (30), segment lengths (≈ 0.85 mm) and -1 -1 standard metabolic rates (≈ 140 mg O2 kg hr ) are exceptions where values are the same. Fantail and eggfish drag and drag coefficients (referenced to frontally projected area ≈ 0.6 - 0.9) were higher (requiring more thrust at any given velocity) than those for the more streamlined common and comet (≈ 0.3 - 0.6; P < 0.05). This is reflected in kinematics; tailbeat frequency and stride length at any given velocity for the common and comet are lower and higher respectively than that of the fantail and eggfish (P < 0.05).
