Larval ontogeny and morphology of the fire‐tailed gudgeon, Hypseleotris galii (Eleotridae)
Journal of Fish Biology, Vol.27(3), pp.277-283
1985
Abstract
The larval ontogeny of Hypseleotris galii is described and illustrated. 'Premature' yolk sac larvae hatch with unpigmented eyes and no mouth. 'Late' yolk sac larvae hatch with pigmented eyes and a functional mouth. Hatching glands are distributed on the head and ventral surface of the body. The yolk is absorbed and the larvae begin feeding 6 days after hatching. Larval development is completed 74 days after hatching. Hypseleotris galii larvae have six pairs of naked neuromasts: two pairs on the head and four pairs on the body. The significance of these results to developmental strategies in Hypseleotris species is discussed. Copyright © 1985, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
