“…The differences in yolk composition may relate to the unique life histories of these species, such as the time required for embryos to develop up until hatching or the time required from hatching to onset of exogenous feeding. Striped bass typically hatch 36–48 hr after fertilization at a water temperature of approximately 20°C, as compared to 8 days for barfin flounder (Du et al, ). Since YPC appears to serve as a nutrient source for late stage larvae (Sawaguchi et al, ), abundant YPC reserves in the eggs of striped bass may relate to the observation that free‐swimming yolk sac larvae can survive for a considerable amount of time after hatching in the absence of feeding (Eldridge, ).…”

We quantified three vitellogenins (VtgAa, VtgAb, VtgC) or their derived yolk proteins (YPs) in the liver, plasma, and ovary during pre-vitellogenic (PreVG), mid-vitellogenic (MVG), and late-vitellogenic (LVG) oocyte growth and during post-vitellogenesis (PostVG) in the striped bass (Morone saxatilis) using label-free quantitative mass spectrometry (MS). Western blotting of the samples using antisera raised against gray mullet (Mugil cephalus) lipovitellins derived from VtgAa, VtgAb, and VtgC confirmed the MS results. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed liver as the primary site of expression for all three Vtgs, with extra-hepatic transcription weakly detected in ovary, foregut, adipose tissue, and brain. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR confirmed vtgAb to be primarily expressed in liver and VtgAb proteins were predominant in liver and plasma from MVG to PostVG. However, the primary period of deposition into oocytes of VtgAb occurred up until MVG, whereas VtgAa was primarily deposited from MVG to LVG. The VtgC was gradually taken up by oocytes throughout vitellogenesis and was detected at trace levels in plasma. The ratio of yolk proteins derived from VtgAa, VtgAb, VtgC (YPAa/YPAb/YPC) in PostVG ovary is 1.4:1.4:1, which differs from ratios previously reported for other fish species in that YPC comprises a greater proportion of the egg yolk. Our results indicate that proportional accumulation of multiple Vtgs in the yolk may depend both on the precise rates of their hepatic secretion and specific uptake by oocytes. Furthermore, composition of the Vtg-derived yolk may vary among Acanthomorph fishes, perhaps reflecting their different early life histories and reproductive strategies.

“…In addition, studies on embryonic and larval development of any fish species can be useful in directing the husbandry efforts of fish breeder to the specific state and requirements of each development stage (Marimuthu & Haniffa ). There is vast literature on embryonic and larval stages of fish, distributed among the fields of aquaculture, applied ecology, behavioural ecology, biological oceanography, comparative functional morphology and physiology, fisheries science, limnology and systematic ichthyology (Takeshita, Onikura, Matsui & Kimura ; Webb ; Arvedlund, McCormick & Ainsworth ; Borges, Faria, Gil, Gonçalves & Almada ; Martell, Kieffer & Trippel ; Marimuthu & Haniffa ; Du, Wang, Jiang, Liu, Wang, Li & Zhang ). However, detailed study about the embryonic and larval development of characins is scarce.…”

The embryonic and larval development of black skirt tetra, Gymnocorymbus ternetzi, are described under controlled laboratory conditions. In addition, major histomorphological changes and the allometric growth patterns during larval development have been described. The laboratory-reared broodstock, that is 1 year of age, were spawned. Hatching occurred 20-21 h after spawning at 24 ± 0.5°C. The cleavage was finished in 2 h and the early blastula stage occurred at 2:04 hours after spawning. The gastrulation started at 3:20 hours and 30% epiboly was observed at 3:34 hours after spawning. Eight-somite stage was observed at 08:33 hours. And embryonic developmental stage was completed at 21 h after spawning. The newly hatched larvae were 1442 ± 14.3 lm in mean total length (TL). The mouth opened at 3 days after hatching (DAH). The yolk sac had been totally absorbed and the larvae started to swim actively within 3-4 days. Notochord flexion began at 11 DAH. The metamorphosis was completed and the larvae transformed into juveniles at 32 DAH. In this paper, the full developmental sequence from egg to juvenile of G. ternetzi is described for the first time.

“…This characteristic differs from that of the embryos of Pelteobagrus vachelli from the 8‐cell to 32‐cell phase, when the blastomeres displayed a rectangular form, and then a round shape again until the multi‐cell phase. The shape of the blastomere of S. senegalensis was also different from that of V. moseri , in which the blastomeres became irregular and uneven just after the 16‐cell phase (Du et al, 2010). As a polylecithal egg with little ooplasm, the embryos of S. senegalensis gradually develop into blastocysts with blastomeres forming a regular conical blastoderm, similar to that in species such as S. maximus (Tong et al, 2013) and V. moseri (Du et al, 2010).…”

“…There are many studies on the embryonic and larval stages of Pleuronectiform fish of commercial value, including Verasper variegatus (Aritaki et al, 2001), Verasper moseri (Du et al, 2010), Paralichthys dentatus (Martinez & Bolker, 2003), Cynoglossus robustus (Fujita & Uchida, 1957), Cynoglossus abbreviatus (Fujita et al, 1986), and Scophthalmus maximus (Tong et al, 2013). As a promising candidate for aquaculture in Europe since the 1990s (Dinis et al, 1999; Imsland et al, 2003), a considerable number of studies have been conducted on S. senegalensis .…”

Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis, is a flatfish of high commercial value in the world. It has been identified as an interesting and promising species for marine commercial aquaculture diversification in Europe for at least four decades and was introduced to China in 2003. Early ontogenesis from embryo to juvenile stages in S. senegalensis was analysed under controlled laboratory conditions to provide morphological information for aquaculture. From 0 to 59 days post hatching (dph), 10–20 larvae were sampled and measured each day (0–17 dph) or every 2–6 days (17–59 dph). Morphological characteristics from the egg to the juvenile stage were described. The eggs were separate and spherical with multiple oil globules. After 3 dph, the yolk sac was completely absorbed, mouth and anus were open, a swim bladder appeared, and larvae began feeding on rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis). The larvae began metamorphosis as the notochord flexed upward and the left eye migrated upward after 10 dph. The left eye migrated to the dorsal midline at 15 dph. At 19 dph, the left eye was translocated to the right‐ocular side, and the juveniles adopted a benthic lifestyle. The swim bladder degenerated, and the juveniles completed metamorphosis at 23 dph. The growth patterns of some parameters (TL, SL, BH, BW) during larval and juvenile development stages were identified. The inflection points, which are slopes of growth changes, were calculated in growth curves. Three inflection points occurring in the growth curves of larvae and juveniles were found to be associated with metamorphosis, weaning, and transitions in feeding habits. The basic information of embryo development and ontogenesis in this study represents a valuable contribution to the S. senegalensis industry, especially in artificial breeding and rearing techniques.
