Channel catfish homozygous for the recessive pigmentation gene have white coloration.
Damselfish with the genotype BB have the barred color pattern. Fish with the bb genotype lack bars. Fish with the Bb genotype display incomplete bars.
The three-spined stickleback has a gene that controls the development of skeletal plates and the number of sensory cells in the lateral line.
In goldfish, the dominant M gene leads to dark coloration. For goldfish with an mm genotype, the S gene leads to a gold-colored fish, but the ss genotype causes albinism.
The body color of molly fish is controlled by several different genes.
