“…In this study, the characteristics of hydrated eggs of the three Diaphus species (i.e. weak chorion, yolk segmentation, and presence of an oil droplet) were similar to those of three myctophids previously described: Benthosema fibulatum, B. pterotum, and L. hectoris (Robertson, 1977;Gjøsaeter and Tilseth, 1988;Hussain and Ali-Khan, 1988). In many teleosts, hardening of the egg chorion occurs just after fertilization, which has a potential role in prevention of polyspermy and resistance to damage from the environment (Yamamoto, 1961;Blaxter, 1969).…”

“…Robertson (1977) reported that eggs of Lampanyctodes hectoris occur immediately beneath the sea surface off northeastern New Zealand. On the contrary, eggs of Krefftichthys anderssoni and Electrona carlsbergi are distributed in the mesopelagic layer of the 200-1000 m depth in the Antarctic waters of the South Atlantic, and eggs of B. pterotum in the 100-300 m depth in the Gulf of Oman (Efremenko, 1986;Gjøsaeter and Tilseth, 1988). These previous papers partly support the two spawning depth strategies in myctophids, i.e.…”
