Producing colorful aquarium fish by gene transfer biotechnology

In this article, it tries to highlight the importance of the ornamental fish species industry in the world and Iran. It implicates the gene transfer method being able to produce aquarium fish species possessing special characteristics. Then, a variety of genes and promoters which can create colorful aquarium fish are defined.
