Notes: The dorsal fin of the larval and juvenile Oreochromis mossambicus exhibits a unique black spot known as the ‘Tilapia mark’. We traced its development and found that it occupied a specific position in the dorsal fin bounded by rays 15 and 20. Ablation experiments carried out on the larval dorsal fin showed that this spot region constituted a developmental positional field. This positional field in the fin could regenerate and re-establish the spot pattern despite repeated perturbation. The re-establishment of spot was not simply due to fin injury since ablation of the non-spotted region of the dorsal and the tail fin did not result in aggregation of melanophores. We propose that that‘Tilapia mark’ is a result of positional information in operation.
