“…Embryonic development of A. vulpes was rapid, with hatching occurring 25–26 hpf. This development rate was similar to that observed in several anguillid eels (Ahn et al ., ; Sørensen et al ., ). In comparison to pelagic eggs of other marine fish species, hatch time was similar, especially for those species reared at an equivalent water temperature to our study (Pauly & Pullin, ).…”

Bonefish (Albula vulpes L.) are a highly prized sport fish. Despite their economic importance, populations in the Florida Keys and Caribbean are in decline, with the early life history undescribed. Injections of carp pituitary extract into A. vulpes during the advanced stages of ovarian development induced ovulation and spawning. Embryos were sampled hourly until hatching into undeveloped, yolk‐sac leptocephalus larvae. These larvae survived 56 h post‐hatch, when myomeres and eyes were developing but not the mouth. These results inform future research on the reproduction and early life history of A. vulpes.

“…In addition, the effect of temperature on eggs shows that most larvae have incomplete functional systems at hatching. In some cases, larvae were smaller and had poorly developed internal structures at hatching (Gracia‐López, Kiewek‐Martínez & Maldonado‐García ; Bjelland & Skiftesvik ; Ahn, Yamada, Okamura, Horie, Mikawa, Tanaka & Tsukamoto ); or conversely, larvae were longer and had better developed internal structures (Gracia‐López et al . ; Ahn et al .…”

The effect of temperature on the development of yolk-sac larvae of European hake (Merluccius merlucciusL.) under laboratory conditions

The effect of temperature (10, 13, 16, 19 and 22°C) on hatching, development and survival of yolk-sac larvae of European hake, Merluccius merluccius, was studied. At 22°C the experiment was suspended because all eggs died a few hours after incubation. Five morphological indicators of larval development (standard length -SL, yolk-sac volume -YSV, oil globule diameter -OD, body height -BH and body wet weight -BW) were analysed. SL, YSV, OD and BW of newly hatched larvae were biggest in size and weight at low temperatures (P < 0.05). Throughout the experiments, the rates of changes in SL, YSV and OD varied with temperature (P < 0.05). By contrast, BH and BW remained constant and did not show significant relationship with the effect of temperature (P > 0.05). The potential model showed that the SL growth rate varied from 0.05 to 0.08 mm day À1 from 10.5 to 19.5°C respectively. However, at all temperatures two growth phases were identified: a rapid growth phase followed by a slow one. Rapid growth rate in length and depletion in yolk-sac and oil globule occurred at high temperatures. After total YSV and OD consumption (death by starvation), larvae died between 8 and 14 days at 19.5 and 10.5°C respectively, reaching a maximum length of 4.3 mm at 10.5°C. Metabolic indices such as: lowest threshold temperature (T 0 ); effective larval development (D eff ); cumulative thermal units (TC) to complete larval development; the temperature coefficient on growth rate in length (Q 10 ) and the condition factor (K) were also studied.

“…Other gobiids may share or have additional strategies to deal with the size and shape limitations of their chorions. Temperature plays a critical role in developmental timing, hatching success and survival of fish embryos (Schirone & Gross 1968;Kimmel et al 1995;Kucharczyk, Luczynski, Kujawa & Czerkies 1997;Bermudes & Ritar 1999;Arenzon, Lemos & Bohrer 2002;Yang & Chen 2005;Ahn, Yamada, Okamura, Horie, Mikawa, Tanaka & Tsukamoto 2012). Higher temperatures accelerate development and reduces time to hatching in many species, including D. rerio (Kimmel et al 1995).…”

The Bluebanded goby, Lythrypnus dalli, is a popular ornamental aquarium species and a key organism for the study of several fundamental biological questions, most notably reversible sex change in adults. To maximize the tractability of this species as an emerging model system, it is essential to have an optimized propagation system and a detailed developmental staging scheme. One limitation to the larviculture of L. dalli is the relatively small size of the larvae, which makes the transition from yolk to feeding challenging. We developed a protocol and successfully reared three generations of L. dalli in the laboratory. The protocol contains several key innovations for the rearing of diminutive fish larvae, including tank design and co‐culturing of microalgae (Isochrysis galbana) with copepods (Parvocalanus sp.) in the larval rearing tanks. In addition, we describe the embryonic and larval development of L. dalli under controlled conditions and in comparison with the model organism Danio rerio. We found that at 21°C L. dalli larvae hatch in 4 days, reach flexion in 18–25 days and are sexually mature by 3 months. Overall, the embryonic development of L. dalli is remarkably similar to D. rerio with several striking differences, including the position and shape of the blastomere, size of the neuromasts and corresponding cupula, and relative timing of pigmentation and brain subdivision. The ability to rear this species in captivity is a valuable tool that could be utilized for a variety of similarly diminutive species and to address a greater breadth and depth of biological questions.
