A systematic search for mutations affecting the retinotectal projection in zebrafish larvae was performed, as part of the large-scale Tubingen screen for homozygous diploid mutants in embryonic development. 2,746 inbred lines (F2 families) from males mutagenized with ethylnitroso urea were screened.
