Morphogenetic effects of vitamin A on the regenerating tail fin of the teleost fish, Oreochromis niloticus

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of vitamin A (VA) on tail fin regeneration of the teleost fish, Oreochromis niloticus. Following amputation, the tail fin undergoes a regenerative process which leads to an apparently faithful replacement, both in shape and size of the missi...
