Title

First report on vertebral abnormality in the fivebeard rockling Ciliata mustela (Linnaeus, 1758) (Osteichthyes: Lotidae) from Masfjorden, Western Norway

Abstract

Vertebral deformities are reported in fivebeard rockling Ciliata mustela (Lotidae) collected from Masfjorden, Western Norway. Four abdominal and four caudal vertebrae were involved in the anomalies. A hyperostotic haemal spine was observed. In addition, other minor anomalies were noticed in the abnormal specimen. It is possible that either genetic and/or epigenetic factors may have been implicated in this anomaly.
