Key Event Relationship Description
Evidence Supporting this KER
Biological Plausibility
The anterior chamber is formed by evagination from the cranial end of the posterior chamber (Robertson et al., 2007, Winata et al., 2009). Therefore it is plausible to assume that the anterior chamber cannot inflate in cases where the posterior chamber is not inflated. Additionally, it is plausible to assume that when the posterior chamber is smaller due to incomplete inflation, the anterior chamber will also fail to completely inflate and therefore will also be smaller.
Empirical Evidence
Stinckens et al. (unpublished) showed that zebrafish larvae exposed to iopanoic acid that failed to inflate the posterior swim bladder chamber by 9 days post fertilization (while normal inflation should occur at 5 days post fertilization) died before the period of anterior chamber inflation.
Quantitative Understanding of the Linkage
Domain of Applicability
There is no evidence of sex-dependent processes involved in swim bladder chamber develoment and inflation. Additionally, zebrafish are undifferentiated gonochorists, and gonad differentiation starts only around 23-25 dpf (Uchida et al., 2002), after the time point of anterior chamber inflation (around 21 dpf).
