## Abstract The changes in cell shape of fish melanophores during pigment displacement, and the effects of colchicine and cytochalasin B on the surface morphology were studied by scanning electron microscopy. Dispersed melanophores are generally flat, with thick radiating dendritic processes. Aggre

Gravitational factors appear to influence the establishment of bilateral symmetry in amphibia, birds, elasmobranchs, chondrostean fishes, and teleostean fishes. Correlations between the plane of symmetry and the planes of the first or second cleavage have similarly been noted. Evidence is presented
In the medaka fish (Oryzias latipes) many mutants for body color have been isolated. A typical example is the recessive oculocutaneous albino mutant i, which has amelanotic skin and red-colored eyes with no tyrosinase activity. To cast light on the molecular basis of the albino mechanism, we perform
