“…The morphological changes and the size distribution during each developmental stage reported in this study are in accordance with those previously described by Kennedy (1969) and Kupren et al (2008) in reared larvae of the same species. By the more comprehensive observation regarding changes in the body shape and functional trends, we obtained results contributing to more detailed knowledge of the early development of the common dace.…”

“…stages of hatching, first free swimming, and first intake of exogenous food). At the moment of hatching, common dace is more advanced in their development than the individuals of majority of teleost fish species (Kennedy 1969;Kupren et al 2008Kupren et al , 2011. The newly hatched common dace have almost a straight body with the head clearly separated from the yolk sac at an advanced stage of absorption.…”

“…Adult common dace feeds on insects, mollusks, crustaceans, and macrophytes (Mann 1974;Hellawell 1974;Mills et al 1985). Fragmentary descriptions of its early morphological development have been described by Kennedy (1969) and Kupren et al (2008Kupren et al ( , 2011, but none of these studies reported age or size at larval transformation. Moreover, they do not contain information concerning allometric growth.…”

The present work is the first comprehensive description of easily recognizable morphological changes, allometric growth, and behaviour during early ontogeny of endangered common dace Leuciscus leuciscus, establishing a reference for its normal development under laboratory conditions. Based on the external morphology, three different periods and eight characteristic steps (ES9-JS1; ES-embryonic steps, JS-juvenile steps) were identified between hatching and 30 days post-hatch at 25°C. This study shows that all allometric changes occurred after notochord flexion across a wide range of body lengths (15.35-21.78 mm TL) reflecting the larvae-juvenile transition. Observations on the early development of common dace confirmed the relatively uniform development of cyprinid species and support the hypothesis of differential growth patterns for primary functions during early ontogeny. Differences in relative growth between common dace and other species might be attributed to their different size at hatching, behaviour, and environmental cues.

“…This differentiates it from yolk sacs of the larvae of other river freshwater fish, which are strongly elongated, and the oil droplet is not as big or sometimes it is not present at all (Laurila and Holopainen 1990;Ç alta 2000;_ Zarski et al 2011a). In the dace, Leuciscus leuciscus (L.), the yolk sac on the day of hatching makes up about 47 % of the total length of the larvae, in the chub, it is over 60 % (Kupren et al 2008), while in the burbot, at the moment of hatching (0 DPH), the yolk sac accounted for only about 17 % of the total length of the body. The spherical shape of the yolk sac of burbot larvae and a large oil droplet help the larvae to take up a vertical position in the water.…”

Dynamics of yolk sac and oil droplet utilization and behavioural aspects of swim bladder inflation in burbot, Lota lota L., larvae during the first days of life, under laboratory conditions

The study concerns investigation of early larval development of burbot, Lota lota. As part of a two-year study, the first 15 days (until the end of yolk sac resorption) of burbot larvae development under controlled conditions were examined. The aim of the study was to observe the moment of swim bladder inflation and the behavioural aspects of this process, as well as the analysis of yolk and oil droplet resorption and the beginning of exogenous nutrition. It was observed that larvae began to inflate their swim bladder on the 3rd day posthatch. On 5 DPH, none of the larvae without an inflated bladder was able to swim up the distance separating it (10 cm) from the water surface. Since 9 DPH, 50 % of larvae started exogenous feeding, and the absence of yolk was observed on 13 DPH and oil droplet on 14 DPH, while on 15 DPH, 100 % of feeding larvae were observed. The presented results indicate that the analyzed period is critical for burbot, and it is characterized by a high mortality rate (over 60 %). Additionally, the results suggest that, under controlled conditions, the latest moment when burbot larvae should be given exogenous food is 9-10 DPH and until the moment of the swim bladder inflation, larvae should be kept in tanks with a low water depth (up to 10 cm). The data presented in this study could have a significant influence on the efficiency of larvae rearing, both for aquaculture and for restocking purposes.

“…Thus far, studies on larval chub development have been conducted by Kryzhanovskij (1949); Koblickaya (1981); Economou et al (1990); Çalta (2000) and Kupren et al (2008). None of these studies have described the morphological changes during the earliest stages of development in great detail.…”

The morphological development and allometric growth patterns in European chub Leuciscus cephalus (L.) (cyprinid fish) were studied under intensive rearing conditions from hatch to day 30. Based on the external morphology, twelve different stages during the early development of chub were identified (ES8 b -JS1 a ; 6.68±0.20-20.84±2.15 mm TL).The obtained results revealed that the majority of all allometric changes from the inflection point occurred across a wide range of body lengths. The replacement of temporary organs (e.g. disappearance of finfold) at approximately 21 mm TL did not coincide with a full reduction of relative growth. This growth pattern probably reflects he absence of abrupt changes in the behaviour and habitat of young chubs.
