Molecular basis: Liu et al. (2025): "a mutation was detected at the 8th bp of the opn3 cDNA corresponding to transcript HHLG25g0668 in the aberrant-color offspring. At this position, 81.25 % of wild-type individuals carried the cytosine (C) allele, whereas all mutant individuals carried an adenine (A) substitution, resulting in an amino acid change from serine to tyrosine at position 3 of the protein. This suggests that opn3 may play a key role in the development of abnormal pigmentation in Yellow River carp."
