Reduced pigmentation in larval Atlantic salmon modified by Edvardsen et al. (2014). The solute carrier family 45, member 2 (slc45a2) and tyrosinase (tyr) genes are known to be involved in pigmentation in fishes. Forty and 22% of injected Atlantic salmon embryos showed mutations at slc45a2 and tyr, shown at top and bottom, respectively, displayed phenotypes ranging from complete lack of pigmentation, to partial loss, to normal pigmentation
