Objective:
To explore the relationship between sagittal plane and coronal plane curvatures in guppies by investigating the curvature angles of sagittal and sagittal-coronal guppies.
Methods:
After mating between 1000 spinal curvature guppies, 124 guppies (3-month old) were screened from progenies for the present study. Photos of all fishes were taken and the sagittal and coronal angles were calculated via angle measure tool of Photoshop 12.0 software. All data were analyzed by SPSS 11.0.
Results:
In sagittal and sagittal-coronal curvature guppies, there was a significant linear correlation between sagittal angles and coronal angles. In 48 sagittal-coronal curvatures, their sagittal angles were above 40°, meanwhile, in 76 sagittal guppies, their sagittal angles were mostly below 40°.
Conclusions:
These findings indicated that the occurrence of coronal curvature might be later than sagittal curvature and could be influenced by other factors. Sagittal angles 40° might be involved in the onset of coronal curvature.

In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form...
