Olfactory receptor (OR) genes are essential in the specific recognition of diverse stimuli in fish. In this study, a total of 141 OR genes were identified in silver sillago (<i>Sillago sihama</i>), a marine fish sensitive to environmental stimuli, including 112 intact genes, 26 truncated genes, and three pseudogenes. A phylogenetic tree analysis elucidated that the OR genes of <i>S. sihama</i> were classified into six groups, of which β, γ, δ, ε, and ζ groups belonged to type I, and the η group ...[more]
