Abstract Background The caudal fin of teleosts is a highly diverse morphological structure and a valuable source of information for comparative analyses. Within the Atherinomorpha a high variation of conditions of the caudal-fin skeleton can be found. These range from complex but basal configurations to simple yet derived configurations. When comparing atherinomorph taxa, it is often difficult to decide on the homology of skeletal elements if only considering adult specimens. However, observing the development of caudal-fin skeletons allows one to evaluate complex structures, reveal homologies and developmental patterns, and even reconstruct the grundplan of the examined taxa. Results We studied the development of the caudal-fin skeleton in different atheriniform, beloniform and cyprinodontiform species using cleared and stained specimens. Subsequently we compared the development to find similarities and differences in terms of 1) which structures are formed and 2) which structures fuse during ontogeny. For many structures, i.e., the parhypural, the epural(s), the haemal and neural spines of the preural centra and the uroneural, there were either no or only minor differences visible between the three taxa. However, the development of the hypurals revealed a high variation of fusions within different taxa that partly occurred independently in atheriniforms, beloniforms and cyprinodontiforms. Moreover, comparing the development of the ural centra exposed two ways of formation of the compound centrum: 1) in atheriniforms and the beloniforms Oryzias and Hyporhamphus limbatus two ural centra develop and fuse during ontogeny while 2) in cyprinodontiforms and Exocoetidae (Beloniformes) only a single ural centrum is formed during ontogeny. Conclusions We were able to reconstruct the grundplan of the developmental pattern of the caudal-fin skeleton of the Atheriniformes, Beloniformes and Cyprinodontiformes as well as their last common ancestors. We found two developmental modes of the compound centrum within the Atherinomorpha, i.e., the fusion of two developing ural centra in atheriniforms and beloniforms and the development of only one ural centrum in cyprinodontiforms. Further differences and similarities for the examined taxa are discussed, resulting in the hypothesis that the caudal-fin development of a last common ancestor to all atherinomorphs is very much similar to that of extant atheriniforms.

Summary statementWe investigated potential functions of Fndc3a during caudal fin development and regeneration in zebrafish. Reduced function interferes with correct epidermal cells structure and implies a role during vertebrate extremity development.AbstractInherited genetic alterations are often found to be disease-causing factors of patient phenotypes. To unravel the molecular consequences of newly identified factors functional investigations in vivo are eminent. We investigated molecular functions of FNDC3A (Fibronectin Domain Containing Protein 3A; HUGO), a novel candidate gene for split-hand/foot malformations (SHFM) in humans, by utilizing zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a vertebrate model. Patients with congenital SHFM display prominent limb malformations, which are caused by disturbance of limb development due to defects in apical ectodermal ridge (AER) establishment and maintenance. Initial gene expression and protein localization studies clarified the presence of fndc3a in developing and regenerating fins of zebrafish. For functional studies we established a hypomorphic fndc3a mutant line (fndc3awue1/wue1) via CRISPR/Cas9, exhibiting phenotypic malformations and changed gene expression patterns during early stages of median fin fold development. Furthermore, fndc3awue1/wue1 mutants display abnormal collagen localization, actinotrichia breakup and cellular defects in epidermal cells during caudal fin development. The observed effects are only temporary and later result in rather normal fin development in adults. In accordance with early fin development, proper caudal fin regeneration in adult fndc3awue1/wue1 mutants is hampered by interference with actinotrichia formation and epidermal cell abnormalities. Investigation of cellular matrix formation implied that loss of ECM structure is a common cause for both phenotypes. Our results thereby provide a molecular link between Fndc3a function during both developmental processes in zebrafish and foreshadow Fndc3a as a novel temporal regulator of epidermal cell properties during extremity development in vertebrates.

The zebrafish Danio rerio exhibits substantial morphological variability in the sizes and shapes of the body and the caudal fin. The present study describes swimming performance, swimming behaviour and routine locomotor activity patterns in three of the major morphotypes: wild-type, long-finned and no-tail. Wild-type and long-finned differ in total length (TL), fork length (FL), caudal fin length (CFL) and caudal fin height (CFH). No-tail has no caudal fin and is significantly smaller in standard length (SL) than the other types. Critical swimming speeds (U(crit)) were measured at 28 degrees C in a modified Brett-type water tunnel. U(crit) of wild-type fish was 56.0+/−4.8 cm s(−1) or 15.5 SL s(−)(1) (mean +/− s.d., N=21), significantly faster than the U(crit) of long-finned fish (43.7+/−6.8 cm s(−1) or 12.5 SL s(−1), N=17); both were significantly faster than the U(crit) of no-tail fish (19. 8+/−4.7 cm s(−1) or 6.9 SL s(−1), N=15). When forced to swim in the water tunnel, zebrafish tended to turn and swim downstream for short periods at slow water velocities. Turning frequencies (turns per minute, f(T)) at the slowest velocity (4 cm s(−1)) were 10. 1+/−6.5 min(−)(1) (N=63) and 8.6+/−4.7 min(−1) (N=51) for wild-type and long-finned, respectively, significantly different from that of the no-tail fish, 4.7+/−2.8 min(−1) (N=45). These frequencies decreased below 1 min(−1) at 56%, 64% and 61% of U(crit) in wild-type, long-finned and no-tail fish, respectively. Activity levels of wild-type fish were generally significantly higher than those of long-finned fish, and the levels of both were significantly higher than those of no-tail fish. The pattern of differences in relative activity levels between types was similar to that for U(crit). The results show that the wild-type fish, on a size-scaled basis, is one of the fastest-swimming fishes ever measured, reaching the maximum predicted theoretical sustained swimming speed. U(crit) of long-finned fish was 22% lower than that of wild-type fish, and U(crit) of no-tail fish was 65% lower. Similar differences were found in turning frequencies and routine activity level.
