The zebrafish (D anio rerio) is a freshwater teleost of the family C yprinidae that is
established as a model organism in many research fields. Here, we define the …

An insight is made into the main processes that occur in fish during endogenous feeding
period. The ways in which yolk absorption rate can be measured are evaluated. Essential …

The zebrafish is a premier model organism yet lacks a system for assigning postembryonic
fish to developmental stages. To provide such a staging series, we describe postembryonic …

Seasonal change in temperature has a profound effect on reproduction in fish. Increasing
temperatures cue reproductive development in spring-spawning species, and falling …

The effects of temperature on growth, pelagic larval duration (PLD) and maximum swimming
speed were compared in the tropical fish marine species Amphiprion melanopus, to …

Ontogeny is a continuous process with temporaryaccelerations. The embryonic period from
eggactivation to hatching, and the larval periodthereafter, are considered. Advances in …

Thirteen cohorts of the Caribbean reef fish Thalassoma bifasciatum were collected over 4 yr
(2000 to 2003) in the upper Florida Keys, USA. Juvenile fish were censused and collected …

The osteological ontogeny of Pagellus erythrinus (Linnaeus, 1758) and its temperature-
induced plasticity is studied. The ontogeny of the skeleton follows the pattern described in all …

Teleost fish are more diverse than any other vertebrate group, and yet only a limited number
of species are fished and farmed globally. Efforts to expand the quantity and diversity of fish …

Lack of knowledge of early and juvenile development often makes it difficult to decide when
a fish becomes a juvenile or, for that matter, a definitive phenotype. According to the …
