After succeeded in developing a transparent frog, now Japanese researchers have developed a pulse jantungya carp can be seen through the scales and skin through light.According to reports the Daily Mail, these transparent creatures are part of an effort to reduce demand at the time of surgery, which has become increasingly controversial, especially in some schools.
"You can see the throbbing heart as well as several other organs because the scales and their skin has no pigment," said Yutaka Tamaru, a professor at Mie University Life Science Department.
"You do not need malakukan surgery. You can see the little brain in the goldfish head black eye. "
Incorporated in the research team at Mie University and Nagoya, Japan, is currently developing 'ryukin', through the selection of mutant goldfish carp hatchery with transparent color and membiakannya together.
"Having a gold fish with transparent skin color is a loss when placed in an aquarium but it's good to see how the organs in three-dimensions," Tamaru said.
Fish are expected to survive until about 20 years. Can grow along the 25 cm (10 in) and weigh more than 2 kg, much higher than other fish used in research, such as zebra fish and Japanese medaka, Tamaru added.
Meanwhile, other research groups, who have announced their research on invisibility frogs in 2007, saying that they plan to begin selling a four-legged animal, whose skin is transparent from the tadpole phase.
"We're making progress in large-scale development. This fish seems to be marketed next year, "said Masayuki Sumida, professor at the Institute for Amphibian Biology, Hiroshima University
Sumida said the tadpoles and adult frogs of invisibility for the benefit of laboratories and a number of schools will be available the first half of next year in Japan at a price below their respective 10.000 yen.
