Pigmentation patterning systems are of great interest to understand how changes in developmental mechanisms can lead to a wide variety of patterns. These patterns are often conspicuous, but their origins remain elusive for many marine fish species. Dismantling a biological system allows a better understanding of the required components and the deciphering of how such complex systems are established and function. Valuable information can be obtained from detailed analyses and comparisons of pigmentation patterns of mutants and/or variants from normal patterns. Anemonefishes have been popular marine fish in aquaculture for many years, which has led to the isolation of several mutant lines, and in particular color alterations, that have become very popular in the pet trade. Additionally, scattered information about naturally occurring aberrant anemonefish is available on various websites and image platforms. In this review, the available information on anemonefish color pattern alterations has been gathered and compiled in order to characterize and compare different mutations. With the global picture of anemonefish mutants and variants emerging from this, such as presence or absence of certain phenotypes, information on the patterning system itself can be gained.

主题的变化：小丑鱼的色素沉着变异和突变体


色素沉着图案系统对于了解发育机制的变化如何导致各种各样的图案非常感兴趣。这些图案通常很明显，但对于许多海洋鱼类来说，它们的起源仍然难以捉摸。拆解生物系统可以更好地理解所需的组件，并破译此类复杂系统的建立和运作方式。可以通过对突变体和/或变体与正常模式的色素沉着模式的详细分析和比较来获得有价值的信息。小丑鱼多年来一直是水产养殖中受欢迎的海水鱼类，这导致了几种突变品系的分离，特别是颜色的改变，这些突变品系在宠物贸易中变得非常受欢迎。此外，在各种网站和图像平台上都可以找到有关自然发生的异常小丑鱼的分散信息。在这篇综述中，收集并编译了有关小丑鱼颜色模式变化的可用信息，以便表征和比较不同的突变。通过由此产生的海葵鱼突变体和变体的全局图像，例如某些表型的存在或不存在，可以获得有关模式系统本身的信息。
