Fish full life-cycle testing for androgen methyltestosterone on medaka (Oryzias latipes).
Abstract-We studied the chronic effects of methyltestosterone (MT) on reproductive status of medaka (Oryzias latipes) over two generations under continuous exposure to verify the applicability of the fish full life-cycle test (FFLC) for this androgen with this species. The exposure of parental (F0) medaka to MT was begun on embryos within 12 h postfertilization and continued for up to 101 d; as...
متن کاملFull life-cycle assessment of gene flow consistent with fitness differences in transgenic and wild-type Japanese medaka fish (Oryzias latipes).
Transgenic fish in development for aquaculture could escape from farms and interbreed with wild relatives in the nearby environment. Predicting whether escapes would result in transgene introgression is a major challenge in assessing environmental risks of transgenic fish. Previous studies have simulated gene flow from transgenic fish using mathematical modeling of fitness traits to predict the...
متن کاملSmall fish models for identifying and assessing the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), particularly those that affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis of vertebrates, have become a focus of regulatory screening and testing throughout the world. Small fish species, principally the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), and zebrafish (Danio rerio), are used as model organisms for several of these ...
متن کاملThe Genomic and Genetic Toolbox of the Teleost Medaka (Oryzias latipes)
The Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes, is a vertebrate teleost model with a long history of genetic research. A number of unique features and established resources distinguish medaka from other vertebrate model systems. A large number of laboratory strains from different locations are available. Due to a high tolerance to inbreeding, many highly inbred strains have been established, thus providi...
متن کاملThe Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes, as a new model organism for studying environmental germ-cell mutagenesis.
The effects of genotoxic substances on ecosystems should be assessed using various test systems with multiple genetic end points. The most widely used test system has been the specific-locus test developed by W.L. Russell, using the mouse. We are developing a new, nonmammalian test system using the Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes. We have examined 625,926 embryos that correspond to 1,586,649 l...
