Morphophysiological characterization of the embryonic development of Melanotaenia praecox (Weber & de Beaufort, 1922)

Abstract: Dwarf rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox) are an ornamental fish with a high added value and considerable commercial interest. However, little information is known about the organism's reproductive biology, especially the early stages of embryonic development (initial ontogeny). Melanotaenia praecox embryos were examined throughout development to describe the dwarf rainbowfish initial ontogeny. Eggs were incubated at 28°C, and observations were recorded at pre-determined times. Development stages were identifie… Show more

“…The development of the ocular structure was similar to that of other species; Radael et al . (2013) observed that, in embryos of M. praecox , the optic primordium forms at 21.89 hpf. Fujimura & Okada (2007) observed the appearance of the optic primordium in tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) at 44 hpf.…”

“…(2009) in his study of Heteropneustes fossilis . The blastula was considered to be late when compared with other species studied, such as Melanotaenia praecox (Radael et al ., 2013), Glossolepis incisus (Ferreira, 2007) and Betta splendens (Duarte et al ., 2012).…”

“…Asimismo, el lapso aquí obtenido fue menor que el reportado para el pez cebra (Danio rerio) 16 (48 h), pero mayor que el registrado en el hibrido de Piaractus brachypomus y Colossoma macropomum, que fue de 12 h 6 . En el pez ángel (Pterophyllum scalare), la eclosión ocurrió 42,5 h post-fecundación, cuando la incubación se hizo a 28°C 31 .…”

“…El período de clivaje abarca las primeras seis divisiones incluyendo la blastulación, donde el blastodisco -inicialmente deforme-inicia su organización y la evolución de sus bordes sobre la vesícula vitelina 31 , donde se diferencian dos polos, por lo que se reconoce que los huevos son del tipo telolecítico, similares a los reportados para Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum 27 , Danio rerio y Fundulus heteroclitus entre otros, ya que acumulan vitelo en el polo vegetal y presentan una división parcial o meroblástica durante los primeros estadios del desarrollo 28 .…”
