  Chimera (animal) -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Chimeras are named after the mythological creature ((Greek mythology) fire-breathing she-monster with a lion's head and a goat's body and a serpent's tail; daughter of Typhon) Chimera.
Chimeras should not be confused with (An organism that is the offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock; especially offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties or breeds or species) hybrids, which are organisms formed from two gametes (each from a different species) which formed a single zygote.
Chimeras should also not be confused with (Viral disease in solanaceous plants (tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco) resulting in mottling and often shriveling of the leaves) mosaics, which are organisms with genetically different cell types, but which again originate from a single zygote.

Fish meal that has been produced from materials which has been allowed to degrade prior to being processed can contain high levels of histamines and can be toxic.
Fish containing high levels of histamine have been associated with many instances of poisoning commonly referred to as “scombroid poisoning,” a major health problem for consumers.
Scombrotoxic fish usually contain levels of histamine in excess of 200 ppm but such fish may be randomly dispersed within a lot.

Some of the extracts were based on the muscle tissue from the prey fish and contained no schreckstoff, while others were extracted from the skin, were the pheromone is produced.

 Elasmoworld: The World of Sharks, Rays, Skates and Chimera
Studies on fish movements in the wild have been conducted using radio telemetry or electrofishing, which, in some cases, follow fish patterns of movement in streams or rivers.
And, electrofishing, even if it does not kill fish or influence their behavior, is extremely labor intensive and must be done over an entire stream if all fish are to be detected.
Thus, the objective of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of PIT tags in the identification of fish returning to a given location.

 Practical Fishkeeping magazine | Tropical fish chimera produced in lab
Indian scientists have produced chimera fish in a laboratory experiment designed to investigate new breeding techniques for commercially valuable fishes.
Four scientists from the College of Marine Sciences at the Ocean University of China produced an inter-species chimera of the Rosy barb, Puntius conchonius and the Zebra danio, Danio rerio in their laboratory by taking cells from the Rosy barbs blastula-stage embryo and transplanting them into a Danio embryo at the same lifestage.
The experiment is believed to be the first to show that it is possible to transplant blastula cells across cyprinid fish species to produce fish chimeras.

 Sex reversal of genetic females (XX) induced by the transplantation of XY somatic cells in the medaka, Oryzias latipes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Sexually mature chimera fish were obtained from all combinations of recipient and donor genotypes.
Most chimeras developed according to the genetic sex of the recipients, whose cells are thought to be dominant in the gonads of chimeras.
That is, in the two XX/XY chimeras, germ cells consisted of XX cells but testicular somatic cells contained both XX and XY cells, suggesting that the XY somatic cells induced sex reversal of the XX germ cells and the XX somatic cells.

 PFBC Question of the Week - Golden Rainbow Trout
When this fish was crossed with a normally pigmented rainbow trout, the offspring (what we have come to refer to as palomino rainbow trout) were lighter in color.
Golden rainbow trout and palomino rainbow trout are not sterile hybrids, they are simply color variations of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and should not be confused with the golden trout (Oncorhynchus aguabonita) native to a few drainages in California.
Typically, these fish are more of a brilliant golden color than the palomino rainbow trout, which has a color phase intermediate between the golden and normally pigmented rainbow trout.

 Omni: Retracing the footsteps of evolution - fossil remains of an early tetrapod discovered in a museum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This chimera of traits suggests to Ahlberg that water-dwelling organisms must have originally developed legs for some purpose other than walking on land.
His theory flies in the face of conventional doctrine, which maintains that vertebrate limbs first evolved to carry fish to a new source of water when their shallow pools began to dry up during the upper-Devonian period.
In the view of the British researchers, tetrapods probably adjusted to a marginal existence on the fringes of swamps for at least 20 million years before embarking on the next major evolutionary step: crawling ashore with a fully developed four-legged gait.
