Malformation of the lateral line and ambicolouration in the triplefin Grahamina capito (Jenyns, 1842) (Pisces: Tripterygiidae) from New Zealand

JAWAD L.A., AHYONG S.T. & HOSIE A., 2008 ‐ Malformation of the triplefin Grahamina capito (Jenyns, 1842) (Pisces: Tripterygiidae) from New Zaland. Ann. Mus. civ. St. nat. Ferrara, 9/10 (2006/07): 89-97. Malformation in the lateral line scales and ambicolouration are reported in the tripterygiid fish Grahamina capito collected from Bluff and Stewart Island, New Zealand. Severe damage to lateral line scales no. 9, 10 and 11 were observed and described. The Siamese scale condition was observed in scale no. 10. Different degrees of ambicolouration were observed in several G. capito specimens. White patches were present on both sides of the body. Genetic and epigenetic causes may be implicated in these anomalies.
