Eggs of the tambaqui Colossoma macropomum were incubated at 28 and 31) C. Somitogenesis started shortly after the formation of the neural plate and notochord. New somites were added at the rate of one every 13 min at 28) C and one every 11 min at 31) C. Myogenesis started in the most rostral myotomes at the 9-somite stage and proceeded in a caudal direction. Mononuclear myotubes with the morphological characteristic of muscle pioneer cells were observed lateral to the notochord. The majority of myotubes were formed from the fusion of 3–6 spindle-shaped myoblasts. Myofibril synthesis started soon after cell fusion at the periphery of myotubes. Close membrane contacts and 'gap'-type junctions were observed between myotubes, immature muscle fibres and at the inter-somite boundary, suggesting that the cells were electrically coupled. Embryos exhibited rhythmic movements at the 20-somite stage, and hatched at the 29–30-somite stage 15–18 h post-fertilisation (PFT) at 28° C and 11 h PFT at 31° C. Larvae hatched at a comparatively early stage of development prior to the completion of somitogenesis and the formation of eye pigment, pectoral fins and jaws. The myotomes comprised a single superficial layer of well-differentiated muscle fibres which contained abundant mitochondria, overlying an inner core of myotubes (presumptive white muscle layer). Differentiation and growth during the larval stages was extremely rapid, and the juvenile stage was reached after little more than 6 days at 28° C.  相似文献

The distribution and ultrastructure of myotomal muscle fibres was studied in larvae and early juveniles of the curimatã-pacú Prochilodus marggravii , a tropical freshwater fish endemic to the São Francisco River system, Brazil. At 26°C, larvae hatched 15 h post-fertilization at a relatively early stage of development with the head still curved around the yolk-sac (head-trunk angle greater than 45°), and prior to pigmentation of the eyes and formation of the jaws, gut and pectoral fins. Although motile the swimming muscles of newly-hatched larvae were largely undifferentiated. The myotomes were made up of a single layer of superficial muscle fibres containing six to eight myofibrils and abundant mitochondria, surrounding an inner core of myoblasts, myotubes and immature muscle fibres. The volume densities of mitochondria and myofibrils in the immature inner muscle fibres of 1-day-old lavae were 14.5 and 6.4% respectively. The body axis straightened within 24 h of hatching and the yolk sac was completely absorbed by 72 h. Larval development was rapid with gill filaments, a muscular stomach, liver and swimbladder present after 7 days. The inner muscle fibres were well differentiated in 7-day-old larvae; the volume density of myofibrils had increased to 63.1% whereas the volume density of mitochondria had decreased to 3.5%. In 14-day-old juveniles the superficial muscle had thickened to a layer two to three fibres thick in the region of the lateral line nerve and capillaries were present in the inner muscle. Muscle growth until 14 days was largely due to the hypertrophy of the fibres present at hatching.  相似文献

Atlantic halibut eggs and yolk-sac larvae were incubated at 1, 5 and 8° C. Eggs incubated at 8° C gave slightly shorter larvae at hatching with a significantly smaller total cross-sectional area of white muscle fibres than eggs incubated at 5° C. Transport of eggs 2 days prior to hatching gave significantly longer larvae at hatching with a significantly larger red fibre cross-sectional area than when eggs were transported shortly after the blastopore closure. A higher survival until 230 degree days after hatching was also observed in the former group. All eggs incubated at 1° C died before hatching and all larvae incubated at 1° C died before 45 degree days after hatching. From hatching until 230 degree days the total white cross-sectional area increased threefold in all temperature groups. The increase in white cross-sectional area was entirely due to hypertrophy between hatching and 150 degree days (10 mm L S). Recruitment of new white fibres increased in germinal zones at the dorsal, ventral and lateral borders of the myotome from 150 degree days onwards, but at 230 degree days (12–13 mm L S) the recruitment fibre zone constituted <10% of the total white cross-sectional area. Larval incubation at 8° C gave slightly longer larvae with a significantly larger cross-sectional area of recruitment fibres at 230 degree days than incubation at 5° C. The larval group incubated at 8° C also had a significantly lower survival until 230 degree days than did the 5° C group. Incubation temperature regimes did not affect the volume density of myofibrils in the axial muscle fibres at 230 degree days. Thus hypertrophy is the predominant mechanism of axial white muscle growth in Atlantic halibut yolk-sac larvae and an increased rearing temperature during the yolk-sac stage increases white muscle fibre hyperplasia.  相似文献

Embryos and yolk‐feeding larvae of lake minnow Eupallasella percnurus were reared at 13, 16, 19, 22 and 25° C with no access to external food. Time from egg activation to first embryonic movements, hatching, filling of swimbladder and final yolk resorption increased with decreasing temperature. At 13° C, c . 40% of larvae were unable to fill their swimbladder. The predicted lower temperature at which development and growth ceased (biological zero, t 0) was the same for both processes, c . 7·5–10·5° C. There was no ontogenetic shift in the t 0 value. Temperature coefficients for development ( Q 10dev.) ranged from 2 to 3 at 19–25° C, but were higher in hatched larvae at lower temperatures. Eggs of E. percnurus had a combination of small size, high hydration and low caloric value of fresh matter. Dry mass of larval tissue on yolk, percentage of dry matter in wet matter, and specific growth rate were maximized at 22 and 25° C. At 19–25° C, energy and matter contained in the initial eggs were converted to body tissue most efficiently. Temperatures from 22 to 25° C are considered optimal for E. percnurus embryos and yolk‐feeding larvae and are recommended for their indoor rearing.  相似文献

Abstract
No immature stages of Culex annulirostris were found during field sampling in 1979–1980 when the average water temperature was < 17 °C; they reappeared when the average water temperature was 19 °C and reached the peak density (mean 107 immatures/cylinder) at 26.5 °C.
The effect of 6 temperatures (15–40°C) on egg hatching, development and survival of the immature stages of Cx annulirostris in the laboratory showed that at 15 and 40°C, eggs failed to hatch and larvae died in the first instars. The optimum temperatures for egg hatching and the survival of immature stages were 25 and 30°C. At these temperatures, 85 and 82% respectively of egg rafts hatched, the mean number of larvae per raft was 258 ± 9.8 and 260 ± 11.4 with immature survival of 83.5 and 79.0% respectively. Mean time to hatch at 20–35°C ranged from 1.2 d (35°C) to 2.9 d (20 °C). Developmental times from first instar to adult ranged from 7.1 d (35 °C) to 25.2 d (20 °C). The threshold for development of the immatures was 15.6 ± 2.5°C and the thermal constant was 142.9 ± 26.5 day—degrees (incubation temperatures 20–35°C). At less suitable temperatures of 20 and 35 °C, hatching (57.5 and 45%), number larvae per raft (mean 139.8 ± 9.8 and 102.6 ± 14.2) and survival were low.  相似文献

SUMMARY. Eggs of Ephemerella ignita (Poda) were kept at eight constant temperatures (range 5.9–19.8°C) in the laboratory. Over 85% of the eggs hatched in the temperature range 10.0–14.2°C but the percentage decreased markedly to 39% at 5.9°C and 42% at 19.8°C. Hatching time (days after oviposition) decreased with increasing water temperature over the range 5.9–14.2°C and the relationship between the two variables was well described by a hyperbola. Therefore, the time taken for development was expressed in units of degree-days above a threshold temperature. Mean values (with 95%CL) were 552 (534–573) degree-days above 4.25°C for 10% of the eggs hatched, 862 (725–1064) degree-days above 3.57°C for 50% hatched and 1383 (1294–1486) degree-days above 3.14°C for 90% hatched. These values can be used to predict hatching times at temperatures below 14.68°C for 10% hatched, 14.54°C for 50% hatched and 14.45°C for 90% hatched. At higher temperatures, the hatching time and the number of degree-days required for development both increased with increasing temperature. Equations were developed to estimate the number of degree-days required for development at these higher temperatures.
Eggs were also placed in the Wilfin Beck, a small stony stream in the English Lake District. Maximum and minimum water temperatures were recorded in each week and the summation of degree-days was used to predict the dates on which 10%, 50% and 90% of the eggs should have hatched. There was good agreement between these estimates and the actual hatching times. Only 10–15% of the eggs hatched between October and late February with most of the eggs hatching in March, April and May. Nymphs hatching in October and November probably did not survive the winter.  相似文献

SUMMARY 1. The objective was to compare variations in egg hatching between the two species (interspecific variations) and between populations of the same species (intraspecific variations). There were significant interspecific, but not intraspecific, differences in female size, adult life-span, egg production, hatching success, incubation periods and hatching periods.
2. The optimum temperature for hatching success within the range 3.8–22.1°C in the laboratory and the range over which at least 50% of the eggs hatched were lower for Chloroperia tripunctata (Scopoli) (8.5°C, 4.2–17.3°C) than for Siphonoperla torrentium (Pictet) (12.8°C, 6.1–19.4°C). Few eggs hatched at 22.r°C.
3. The relationship between incubation period (d days) and water temperature (T°C) was given by: d=1219/T1.368 for S. torrentium , d=253/T0.459 for C. tripunctata . Both equations successfully predicted incubation periods for eggs placed in a stream. The period over which eggs hatched was much longer for C. tripunctata than for S. torrentium at all temperatures.
4. The shorter incubation period (at r>5.6°C) and shorter hatching period for S. torrentium ensure that larvae of this species are already growing when eggs of C. tripunctata start to hatch, but the prolonged hatching period of the latter species ensures a long period of larval recruitment to the population. These differences in egg hatching may reduce competition between the two closely-related species.  相似文献

Development of embryos and larvae in Ancherythroculter nigrocauda Yih et Woo (1964) and effects of delayed first feeding on larvae were observed after artificial fertilization. The fertilized eggs were incubated at an average temperature of 26.5°C (range: 25.7–27) and the larvae reared at temperatures ranging from 21.8 to 28°C. First cleavage was at 50 min, epiboly began at 7 h 5 min, heartbeat reached 72 per min at 24 h 40 min and hatching occurred at 43 h 15 min after insemination. Mean total length of newly hatched larvae was 4.04 ± 0.03 mm (n = 15). A one‐chambered gas bladder was observed at 70 h 50 min, two chambers occurred at 15 days, and scales appeared approximately 30 days after hatching. Larvae began to feed exogenously at day 4 post‐hatch at an average temperature of 24°C. Food deprivation resulted in a progressive atrophy of skeletal muscle fibres, deterioration of the larval digestive system and cessation of organ differentiation. Larval growth under food deprivation was significantly affected by the time of first exogenous feeding. Starved larvae began to shrink, with negative growth from day 6 post‐hatch. The point of no return (PNR) was reached at day 11 after hatching. Mortality of starved larvae increased sharply from day 12 after hatching.  相似文献

Salmon eggs were incubated at 5, 8 or 11° C from fertilization to hatching. At Gorodilov stages 25, 27, 29, 31 and 33 transverse sections of whole embryos (at somite level 10–15) were prepared for histochemistry and electron microscopy. At every stage up to hatching, cross–sectional areas of the embryos were not different between temperatures, and from stage 27 onwards there was also no difference in the ratio of white to red muscle. However, there were more muscle fibres but of smaller average diameter in both the red and white muscle for the colder temperature embryos. At hatching there were also more nuclei (per cross–section) in the colder embryos but more nuclei per muscle fibre in the warmer embryos. In all cases the 8° C embryos were intermediate between 5 and 11° C embryos in their muscle parameters. Fast and slow muscle fibres could only be distinguished in the embryos by alkali–stable ATPase reactions. Succinic dehydrogenase activity was low in embryonic fish. No differences between the temperature groups were detected in the histochemical reactions for either ATPase or succinic dehydrogenase activities.  相似文献

Survival was generally high, 94–100%, for newly hatched larvae of the nase Chondrostoma nasus held at 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 and 28° C up to day 66 post-fertilization. The developmental rate decreased with age and increased with temperature. Specific growth rates increased with temperature; within one temperature range growth rate decreased with ontogenetic development. Food consumption and respiration increased with temperature and body size. A temperature increase from 25 to 28° C resulted in slightly reduced survival, minor acceleration of developmental growth and respiration rates, and impeded skeleton formation. Growth efficiency of consumed energy decreased throughout the larval period from 55 to 67% at the first larval stage (L1) to 36–48% at the first juvenile stage (J1). A similar trend for assimilation efficiency and its utilization for growth was observed. The constant temperatures required by larval nase ranged from a minimum 8–10° C to a maximum 25–28° C. A shift of optimum temperatures, 8–12, 13–16, 15–18, 19 and 22° C for nase spawning, embryonic development, yolk feeding larvae, early externally feeding larvae and, late larvae and juveniles, respectively, paralleled the spring rise in the river water temperature. Larval and juvenile nase show high survival, growth and energy conversion efficiencies compared with other fish species. On the other hand, low survival rates and growth can be attributed to external perturbations; thus, young nase may be considered a good indicator of the environmental and ecological integrity of river systems.  相似文献

Fertilized Chondrostoma nasus eggs were incubated at 10, 13, 16 and 19° C until full resorption of the yolk sac. High survival was observed at 10–16° C (89–92% at the onset of external feeding), whereas at 19) C survival was depressed (76%). The time at which 5, 50 and 95% of individuals had hatched, filled the swim bladder, ingested the first food and fully resorbed the yolk sac was determined. An increase in temperature accelerated development and made it more synchronous. Within the period from fertilization to hatching embryonic development was theoretically arrested (t0 dev) at 8·8° C, and growth was arrested (t0gr) at 8·86° C. For the whole endogenous feeding period (from fertilization to full yolk resorption) the amount of matter transformed into tissue was temperature independent between 10° and 19° C. Respiration increased exponentially with age; the respiration increase was faster at higher temperatures, but, in general, metabolic expenditures of C. nasus were low. As a consequence, the efficiency of utilizing yolk energy for growth was high as compared with other fish species (57% during the whole endogenous feeding period); it was temperature independent. However, time was used less efficiently at low temperatures, increasing a risk of predation. Within the endogenous feeding period a shift from lower to higher temperatures for optimal yolk utilization efficiency was observed. The temperatures optimal for survival and energetic performance seem to be 13–16° C for egg incubation and 15–18° C for rearing of yolk-feeding larvae. Chondrostoma nasus is a potential candidate for aquaculture for restocking purposes.  相似文献

Muscle morphology was investigated in newly hatched barramundi Lates calcarifer larvae incubated at set temperatures (26, 29 and 31° C) prior to hatching. Three days after hatching (the start of exogenous feeding), larvae from the 26 and 31° C treatments were each divided into two groups and reared at that temperature or transferred over the period of several hours to 29° C (control temperature). Incubation temperature significantly affected muscle cellularity in the developing embryo, with larvae incubated at 26° C (mean ±s .e . 223·3 ± 7·9) having on average 14·4% more inner muscle fibres than those incubated at 31° C (195·2 ± 8·8) and 4·8% more than those incubated at 29° C (213·5 ± 4·7). Conversely, inner muscle fibre cross‐sectional area significantly increased at the warm incubation temperature in L. calcarifer, so that the total cross‐sectional muscle area was not different between treatment groups. The total cross‐sectional area of superficial muscle fibres and the proportion of superficial to total fibre cross‐sectional area in just hatched L. calcarifer were also affected by incubation temperature, with incubation at the cool temperature (26° C) increasing both the total cross‐sectional area and proportion of superficial muscle fibres. By 9 days post‐hatch, the aforementioned differences were no longer significant. Similarly, there was no difference in total superficial fibre cross‐sectional area between any treatment groups of L. calcarifer, whereas incubation temperature still significantly affected the proportion of superficial to total muscle fibre cross‐sectional area. Larvae hatched and grown at 31° C had a significantly reduced percentage of superficial muscle cross‐sectional area (mean ±s .e . 5·11 ± 0·66%) compared with those incubated and grown at 29° C (8·04 ± 0·77%) and 26° C (9·32 ± 0·56%) and those incubated at 26° C and transferred to 29° C (7·52 ± 0·53%), and incubated at 31° C and transferred to 29° C (6·28 ± 0·69%). These results indicate that changes in muscle cellularity induced by raising or lowering the incubation temperature of L. calcarifer display varying degrees of persistence over developmental time. The significance of these findings to the culture of L. calcarifer is discussed.  相似文献

SUMMARY. 1. Newly-laid eggs of Coenagrion puella (L.) from a pond near Herzogenburg (Lower Austria) were kept at constant water temperatures (range c .3.5°C to c .28°C)in the laboratory. Hatching success varied with temperature; no eggs hatched below 12°C and nearly all hatched at c .l6°C. Hatching time decreased with increasing temperature and the relationship between the two variables within the range 12–28 °C was well described by a power law. The length of the hatching period was less than 12 days. Hatching times estimated from the power-law equations and those obtained in the field experiments were similar. Therefore both the hatching time and the length of the hatching period in the field could be estimated from the laboratory data for the range 12–28°C.
2. The maximum number of instars from egg to imago was 11; the average body length increment (mm) per moult was proportionately constant at c .26% and Dyar's rule was applicable. The interval between moults decreased with increasing temperature up to the seventh instar and the relationship between the two variables within the range 12–28°C was well described by a power law. The moulting interval for instars 8–11 ranged from 23 to 48 days and was relatively independent of temperature. No moulting occurred at temperatures below 12°C.
3. Larval growth was logistic in the laboratory and variations in mean logistic growth rate (range 0–2.5% length day−1) were related to mean temperature with no growth at temperatures <12°C. Larval growth rates in pond experiments were similar to those estimated from laboratory data, and therefore the regression equations obtained from the laboratory experiments are probably applicable to larval growth in the field.
4. Information on the life cycle of C. puella is briefly reviewed and it is concluded that C. puella from the pond near Herzogenburg has an univoltine life cycle.  相似文献

A morphometric analysis of white axial muscle of common carp Cyprinus carpio was undertaken in order to quantify increase in fibre size, fibre nuclei and fibre number in relation to somatic growth rate during early life. In fast-growing carp larvae fed zooplankton, length and height of fibres from the central part of dorsolateral muscle increased at the same rate (0.75) relative to the total length of the larvae during the first 2 weeks of feeding. During this period, the number of nuclei per fibre increased threefold while the number of nuclei per unit fibre surface remained constant. In fast-growing larvae fed a formulated diet, the total cross-sectional area of one epaxial quadrant of white muscle and the total area of white fibres increased at almost the same rate (3.15; 3.23) relative to larval total length during the first 28 days of exogenous feeding. The total number of white fibres increased faster (2.07) relative to the total length of larvae than the mean area of white fibres (1.16). Hyperplasia accounted for 64% of muscle growth in these larvae. The proportion of fibres with a width < 10 μm decreased from 72% at first feeding to 14% 28 days later, while the proportion of fibres with a width >20 μm which was 0% at first feeding increased up to 34% in the same time. The recruitment of new white fibres seemed to be almost the same in the whole muscle quadrant at first feeding and 18 or 28 days later but, 8 days after first feeding, a transient significant recruitment of new fibres was shown at the apex of the myotome. Comparisons between fast- and slow-growing groups of larvae showed that for a given larval total length: (1) the mean width of central white fibres was higher and the proportion of central fibres with a width <10 μm was lower in slow-growing larvae than in fast-growing ones; (2) the total number of white fibres was lower for a higher total cross-sectional area of white muscle in slow-growing larvae than in fast-growing ones. These results suggest that, in Cyprinus carpio larvae, slow-growing conditions are related to a decreased contribution of hyperplasia to muscle growth.  相似文献

Abstract  Verrallina funerea (Theobald) is a brackish water mosquito that is recognised as an important pest and vector in southeast Queensland, Australia. Immature development time and survival of Ve. funerea was defined in the laboratory in response to a range of temperatures (17–34°C) and salinities (0–35 parts per thousand (p.p.t)). The expression of autogeny in this species was also assessed. Salinity only had a slight effect on mean development time from hatching to adult emergence (7.0–7.4 d at salinities of 0, 17.5 and 31.5 p.p.t) and survival was uniformly high (97.5–99.0%). Mean development times were shorter at 26, 29 and 32°C (7.0, 6.8 and 6.8 d, respectively) and longest at 17°C (12.2 d). The threshold temperature ( t ) was 5.8°C and the thermal constant ( K ) was 142.9 degree-days above t . Survival to adulthood decreased from >95% (at 17–29°C) to 78% (at 32°C) and 0% (at 34°C). No expression of autogeny was observed. Immature development times of Ve. funerea , Ochlerotatus vigilax (Skuse) and Oc. procax (Skuse) were then determined under field conditions at Maroochy Shire. Following tide and rain inundation, cohorts of newly hatched larvae were monitored daily by dipping, and time until pupation was noted. Tidal inundation triggered hatching of Ve. funerea and Oc. vigilax larvae whereas Oc. procax larvae were found only after rain inundation. Estimates of Ve. funerea and Oc. vigilax field development times were similar (8–9 d) while Oc. procax development time was slightly longer (9–10 d). Based on these survey results, control activities targeting Ve. funerea must be initiated 4 d (if using Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis de Barjac) or 5 d (if using s -methoprene) after inundation. However, Casuarina glauca Sieber canopy and branchlets covering breeding habitats may present a problem for the penetration of such treatments.  相似文献

This study assesses the influence of thermal regime on the development, survival rates and early growth of embryos of sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus incubated at five constant temperatures (7, 11, 15, 19 and 23° C). The time from fertilization to 50% hatching and from hatching to 50% burrowing were inversely related to incubation temperature. All the embryos incubated at 7° C died at very early stages, while those maintained at 11° C did not attain the burrowing stage. Survival from fertilization to hatching was 61, 89, 91 and 89% at 11, 15, 19 and 23° C, decreasing to 58, 70 and 70% from hatching to burrowing at 15, 19 and 23° C, respectively. Larvae reared during the first 3 months of exogenous feeding in a common environment at constant 21° C, revealed maximum survival for an incubation temperature of 15° C (43% of burrowed larvae) decreasing strongly at 19° C (16%) and 23° C (one suvivor among 240 larvae). Body length at the burrowing stage was maximum for embryos incubated at 19° C, but body mass increased in the interval 15–23° C. Mean incubation temperatures experienced by 117 broods during the embryonic development in the source river were estimated in 15·3±2·30° C and 16·7±1·76° C (mean±1 s.d .) for the periods fertilization-to-hatching and hatching-to burrowing, respectively.  相似文献

Oxygen uptake rates and yolk-inclusive dry weiGhts were measured during the egg and yolk-sac larval stages of milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forsskal). Oxygen uptake by eggs and yolk-sac larvae was measured to assess the effects of four salinities (20,25,30,35 ppt) at 28°C. The effects of three temperatures (23,28,33°C) on oxygen uptake by yolk-sac larvae were determined at a salinity of 35 ppt. Dry weights were measured throughout embryonic development at 28°C and the yolk-sac stage at 23.28 and 33°C.
Oxygen uptake rates of eggs increased more than fivefold during embryogenesis (0.07±0.03 to 0.40 ± 03 μl O2 egg −1 h −1;blastula to prehatch stage). Larval oxygen uptake did not change with age but was affected by rearing temperature (0.33 ± 0.08, 0.44 ± 0.07 and 0.63 ± 0.13 μl O2 larva −1 h−1 at 23, 28 and 33°C, respectively; Q10= 1.93). Acute temperature changes from 28 to 33°C caused significant increases in oxygen uptake by embryos (Q 10= 1.69–3.58) and yolk-sac larvae (Q 10=2.55). Salinity did not affect metabolic rates.
Dry weight of eggs incubated at 28°C decreased 13% from fertilization to hatching. Incubation temperatures from 23–33°C did not affect dry weights at hatching. Rearing temperatures significantly affected the rate of larval yolk absorption (Q 10= 2.25).  相似文献

Summary Histological, histochemical, morphometric and electrophoretic methods were combined to study the differentiation of the swimming muscles and of the gills in the larvae and juveniles of cyprinids during the first 3 months after hatching. The bodies of recently hatched larvae are always surrounded by a single layer of muscle fibres (red layer) which possess strong cytochrome oxidase (COX) activity but whose myofibrils do not show the arrangement typical of the fibres of adult red muscle. The contribution of the red layer to total muscle mass decreases from about 12% on day 3 to 4% on day 40 post-hatching, after which the red layer becomes indistinguishable from the developing mass of adult red muscles. The adult fibres seem to originate through splitting from the larval fibres. The inner muscle masses of recently hatched larvae also display conspicuous COX activity which, however, disappears gradually. The development of the gill surface follows a time course which during the first 40 days is a mirror image of that of the larval red layer of muscle fibres, i.e. increasing at about the same rate as the latter decreases. The most cathodic of the isoenzymes of LDH (M4), an indicator of the glycolytic capacity of the white muscle of adult fish, develops only slowly in the larvae. In whole body homogenates, the dominant isoenzyme after hatching is the aerobic H4-form, and it is not until 2 weeks or so that the anaerobic M4 is the strongest fraction in electropherograms of total body homogenates. In the bleak, Alburnus alburnus (Linné, 1758), which spends the first 8–10 days after hatching on the bottom of the aquarium, the M4 isoenzyme takes much longer to develop than in Rutilus rutilus (Linné, 1758) or Chondrostoma nasus (Linné, 1758) which start swimming within 3 days after hatching. All these findings suggest that in the early larvae swimming is almost entirely aerobic, being powered by the deep layers of muscle fibres. During this developmental phase the superficial red layer perhaps is the main respiratory organ.  相似文献

Summary In normal (untreated) rats the mean length ratio of postsynaptic to presynaptic membrane was 2.7±0.8 for neuromuscular junctions of slow-twitch soleus muscle fibres and 4.2±1.0 for neuromuscular junctions of fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle fibres; this difference was significant (P<0.001). After experimental double innervation by fast and slow muscle nerves for four months, the ratio was (1) 2.9±0.8 for the original slow-twitch fibre end-plate and 2.8±0.8 for the newly established one, both not significantly different from that of the normal slow-twitch fibres; and (2) 2.2±0.5 for the original fast-twitch fibre end-plate and 2.2±0.7 for the newly established one, both significantly smaller than that of the normal fast-twitch fibres (P<0.001). This means that the double innervated slow-twitch muscle fibres retained their original neuromuscular junction type, whereas the doubly-innervated fast-twitch muscle fibres underwent a dramatic transformation of their neuromuscular junction from the fast-muscle to the slow-muscle type. In both doubly innervated fibres, the ultrastructural characteristics of neuromuscular junctions, whether altered or not, were identical at both end-plate regions.  相似文献

Morphological development, allometric growth and behaviour of hatchery-reared California halibut Paralichthys californicus were studied from hatching to metamorphosis (42 days post hatch, dph) at 187° C. Mean standard length ( L S) of larvae and juveniles increased from 2.1 mm at hatching to 10.5 mm at metamorphosis with the increase in length being approximately linear. Stages of morphological development were described using the alphabetic staging (A–I) used for other flatfish species. Organogenesis and differentiation were more rapid and complex in yolk-sac (hatching, stage A–3 dph, stage B), preflexion (3–19 dph, stages B–C), and flexion larvae (from 20 to 23 dph, stages D–E), as larvae developed most of their sensory, feeding, respiratory and swimming systems. After notochord flexion at 24–25 dph (stage F), most morphological changes were related to the progressive transformation from a bilateral symmetrical larva to an asymmetrical benthic juvenile (42 dph, stages G–I).  相似文献
