Abstract
|
|
|
|
The fertilized eggs of E. septemfasciatus are spherical and transparent with buoyancy at 790 to 890um (average 821.8±2.0um) in diameter with 170 to 230um oil globules (average 192.9±0.93um). Hatching began approximately 46 and 35 hours after fertilization at 22.0°C and 25.0°C water temperature, respectively. The average total length of newly hatched larvae was 1.75±0.03mm. Most of the yolk and oil globules were absorbed within 3 to 4 days after hatching. The larvae reached 2.48 to 2.72 mm in total length, and their mouths and anuses opened at 3 to 4 days after hatching. In this time, the mouth diameters of the larvae were 0.209 to 0.238 mm. The larvae reached 3.24 to 4.15 mm in total length at 11 to 17 days after hatching, and began to metamorphose at the time the second dorsal and pelvic spines appeared and elongated. The abdominal cavity was densely lined with melanophores. The larvae reached 5.12 mm in total length at 24 days after hatching.
