Japan Generate Invisible Goldfish

TOKYO - Japanese researchers will never run out brilliant ideas. Having previously bred transparent frogs, now Japanese researchers managed to breed goldfish invisibility.

With the naked eye, the clouds can be seen directly carp heart is ticking along with other organs.

Animals invisibility was developed as an attempt to reduce the need for surgery in each grade-school biology class. Previous practice of animal dissection in biology class is mired in controversy from many quarters in Japan.

The research team combined Mie University and Nagoya University produces a goldfish called 'ryukin'. This species developed from the marriage carp at penetasannya not perfect with pale-colored Goldfish.

"You can see firsthand the heart and other organs of the fish, because the scales and skin has no pigment," said Professor Yutaka Tamarus told AFP on Wednesday (30/12/2009).

Translucent fish that later can live for 20 years, while the length can be increased up to 25 centimeters and the weight reaches two Kilogram.

In 2007 a ​​group of researchers announced the successful development of frogs of invisibility. Masayuki Sumida, a professor of the Institute of Biology Amphibious Hiroshima University, estimates that this Transparent frogs will be circulated widely in the laboratory as well as schools in Japan next year.

Price unique animals will berkiras 10,000 yen, or approximately Rp 1 million (Rp102, 658 per yen). Quite expensive for a fish.
