Changes In Red Tilapia (Oreochromis Sp.) Mouth Mucus During Mouthbrooding: A Proteomics Approach

Red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) is a maternal mouthbrooder displaying an advanced form of parental care by keeping the eggs/fries inside the mouth. Proteomics approach was used to investigate the changes of the proteome in the mouth mucus during mouthbrooding. Non-parental mouth mucus proteome was us...
