Abstract
|
|
|
The structures of the fertilizedegg envelope in threespecies of cyprinidae, leoparddanio (Brachydanio frankei), cherry barb (Barbustitteya) and white cloudmountain fish (Tanichthys albonubes) were investigated by light and electron microscopy. The fertilized eggs of all three species have colorless, transparent, spherical and non-floted type. The egg envelopes have a single micropylewhich is thought to the pathway of sperm in the area of the animal pole. Also, an outer layersof both cherry barband white cloud mountain fish areadhesive types, but in that of leoparddanio has non-adhesivetype. In leopard danio, an outer surface ofegg envelope is covered by mushroom-likestructure, that of cherry barb is arranged by button-like structure, and that of white cloud mountain fish isarranged by rod-likestructure. Inboth leopard danioand cherrybarb, the eggenvelopes consist of three distinct layers; an outer layer, a middle layer and an inner layer, and that of white cloud mountain fish hastwo layers. An innerlayer of egg envelopein leopard danio consist of 10 layers, cherry barb has 8 layers, and white cloud mountain fish has $5\sim6$ layers.
