The spineless fish will be expected to come to the table, and the team of Professor Gao Zexia of the College of Fisheries of Huazhong Agricultural University has found the genes that control the bones.
Since 2012, Professor Takazawa has been working on the study of spineless fish. At the end of 2019, the team found a main action gene from zebrafish that plays a major role in regulating the growth of fish bones. At present, Gao Zexia's team and the team of academician Gui Jianfang of the Institute of Aquatic Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have tested knockout of the main effect genes that regulate the growth of fish bones in bream, grass carp and silver crucian carp, respectively. The first generation of heterozygous (F0 generation) of lesser spinefish grows well, has a normal morphology, and there is no difference between habits and ordinary spiny fish At present, the research is still being further deepened. As research progresses, spineless fish are expected to come to the table in the future.

According to the People's Daily news: Recently, the team of Professor Gao Zexia of the College of Fisheries of Huazhong Agricultural University found the control of fish bones genes, and #eating fish without picking thorns is expected to become a reality. The team and the academician team of Gui Jianfang of the Institute of Aquatic Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have tested the main effect genes that regulate the growth of fish bones in bream, grass carp and silver crucian carp, respectively, and the first generation of hybrid (F0 generation) less thorny fish grows well, the morphology is normal, and there is no difference between habits and ordinary spiny fish.
