Ontology describing the anatomy of Danio rerio from a single cell to adult fish. The namespace of the ontology is zebrafish_anatomical_ontology the prefix is ZFA. Updates to ZFA are released every other month. A subset of the ZFS http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/zfs.obo is packaged with this ontology.
Ionocytes associated with neuromasts. Nm ionocytes are not present at the time of neuromast deposition, and are derived from basal keratinocytes surrounding neuromasts. Nm ionocyte progenitors migrate into neuromasts as pairs of cells. The invasion process is triggered in response to changing environmental stimuli such as salinity and pH. (PMID 33878346).
