“…Upon hatching, the hybrid larvae still possessed their yolk sac, which did not disappear until 48 hrs later. Their initial average total length was 2.6 mm and by 12 hrs, they increased in length to 3.2 mm, which was larger than newly hatched or 12 hrs old larvae at 2.2 and 2.9 mm, respectively (Basak 2014). This finding was obtained despite the temperature was much higher in the study of Basak (2014) than in the current study, which likely indicates that the Lemon hybrid grows fast.…”

“…This finding was obtained despite the temperature was much higher in the study of Basak (2014) than in the current study, which likely indicates that the Lemon hybrid grows fast. Such a temperature discrepancy may also explain the shorter duration for complete yolk absorption by after 3 days (Basak 2014), but 4 days was necessary for this to occur in the hybrids. Although feeding was not performed in this study, based on personal observations, this hybrid larvae began consuming newly hatched nauplli within 24 hrs of hatching, despite still possessing their external egg yolk.…”
The Lemon fin barb hybrid was developed by crossing Lampam () females with Kerai () males as a potential food source for lower income people in Malaysia due to fast growth and ease of culture. For delicious flesh and high market demand, the farming of this hybrid has subsequently expanded rapidly. Many of the basic biological aspects of this hybrid have not yet been investigated and in this study the embryonic and early larval development were examined. After injecting the brood-stocks with hormones, the matured eggs and sperms were collected by strip spawning. The developing embryonic stages were subsequently observed at 10 min intervals for the first hour, 20 min intervals at the second hour, 30 min for the next hour, and then hourly intervals up to hatching. After hatching, observations continued at 2 hr intervals for the first day and a minimum of 6 hr intervals for the following days. Results showed that the hatching of this hybrid occurred 14 hrs post-fertilization at a temperature of 24.0 ± 1°C. The hybrid larvae began to actively swim when the yolk sac became absent 46 hrs after hatching, and were considered to be at the early larval stage. No abnormalities were evident and developmental duration and sizes were similar to. This study represents the first description of the early development stages for Lemon fin barb hybrids that may assist with the establishment of seed production and rearing techniques for aquaculture development in Malaysia.

The present study provides the first detailed early embryonic development of the Shalyni barb, Pethia shalynius (Yazdani & Talukdar, 1975), a vulnerable cyprinid fish occurring in streams and lentic waters of Meghalaya, northeast India. Induced spawning by synthetic hormone injection in May 2019 was conducted to a pair of mature female and male P. shalynius under controlled conditions in a well‐aerated aquarium. Fertilized eggs were spherical, 0.75–0.80 mm (approx.) in diameter, transparent, unpigmented and non‐adhesive. A total of 22 developmental stages could be categorized under seven broad periods, viz. the zygote, cleavage, blastula, gastrula, segmentation, pharyngula and hatchling. The first cleavage occurred at 15 min post fertilization (mpf), followed by blastulation at 01:23 hr post‐fertilization (hpf), gastrulation at 04:20 hpf, initial somite formation at 07:00 hpf, and pharyngula period at 19:20 hpf, respectively. Embryos hatched between 26–27 hpf and the newly‐hatched larvae ranged 2.2–2.5 mm in total length. For naturally‐declining populations of this vulnerable fish species, inferences drawn from the present study will help provide a baseline data for its conservation and management, and aid the research fields of developmental biology, biotechnology, molecular biology as well as taxonomy of this species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
