tq213c d2 adult viable Reduced xanthophore pigmentaion. d4, brownish cells visible, fluorescent cells present, but not spread out as much as normal. d6, patch of reduced fluorescence, bright spot of fluorescene in the middle of the patch, xanthophore pigment only faintly or not at all visible in the trunk, but visible in the head. Faintly yellow and granular pigment visible under the compound microscope. No obvoius phenotype in homozygous adults. Retinotectal projection phenotype similar to esrom: Many retinal axons stop growing on way to tectum and form "onion" right behind papilla. If nasal axons reach tectum, they frequently stop anteriorly. If they grow posteriorly, the termination zone is usually greatly increased.

tg243, tk49, tm267e, tp8, th208, tt245, tz310c, tp31, tq277, tv60a, tp2 d1 embryonic viable d2, number of melanophores strongly reduced, some remaining melanophores pale and of normal size, but most remaining melanophores tiny (in tp8 mostly pale). Pigmented retinal epithelium looks normal, but eyes are variably reduced in size. Reduced or no touch response. d5, generally recovered, xanthophores fill spaces left by melanophores. Dopa staining comes up in pigmented retinal epitheliun, but not in body. tz310c maybe the strongest allele, tp8 is clearly the weakest. Phenotype of homozygous adults of semiviable allele tp2: Very short, round bellied fish, kink between head and trunk. tg243, tz310c, tt245, tm267e and tk49 are lethal alleles.
