概要

In addition to the ability to adapt to monotone backgrounds of different shades, the striped-type (speckled-type) goby, Rhinogobius brunneus, changed its integumentary patterns in response to different sizes of black and white checkerboard squares. When two scales, one from a pale- and one from a dark-stripe region, were transposed, melanophores in these scales recovered their activity and their reactions changed to fit the coloration of the places where they were newly situated. This indicates that the color change in the fish, varied patterning and de-patterning, is neurally controlled by the brain.
