It's possible that my question was wrong. That the interesting thing isn't to find homologous genes to amylase from C. violaceus (tons, perhaps a majority, of all living organisms has amylase) but to find how many copies of the genes other fishes have? So how do one find fishes/organisms that have >2 copies of amylase or >2 copies of carboxyl ester lipase?
The thought of hacking gut bacteria to help predatory fish to eat a more herbivore diet is interesting. Also gives me an excuse to mention I have seen fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) die after being inoculated with ordinary intestinal bacteria. Making one think they could be sensitive to genetic engineered bacteria. But I'm sure that kind of dying of isn't that common.
Writing as someone who couldn't finish a very short online course in bioinformatic and as someone working with aquaculture. If I read the fish monkeyface prickleback (monkeyface prickleback) can break down starch, I should be able to open a database like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and find other fishes with the same genes for breaking down starch? Right?
Hope I'm not looking too lazy for asking if anyone could help me? Hopefully it's not that complicated, but it's also not as easy as just writing: "what fishes produce amylase?"
Kind regardsAnders
