Zebrafish kl mutants become thinner and undergo premature death. (a–d) The kl+/+ female (a), kl+/+ male (b), kl−/− female (c) and kl−/− male (d) zebrafish at 4 mpf. The kl−/− fish showed no morphological defects at this stage. (e–l) Lateral and dorsal views of head in kl+/+ female (e,i), kl+/+ male (f,j), kl−/− female (g,k) and kl−/− male (h,l) at 5 mpf. Note that the eyeball is protruding to the outside in the kl−/− female. (m–p) The kl+/+ female (m), kl+/+ male (n), kl−/− female (o) and kl−/− male (p) zebrafish at 6 mpf. The kl−/− fish became skinny. (q) The kl+/+ fish (n = 32) survived over 9 mpf. All of the kl−/− fish (n = 28) underwent premature death before 9 mpf.
