The Larval Development Stages Of The Japanese Snail, Rapana Thomasiana, Gross 1861, In The Egg Capsule, Orhan Uyan, Orhan Aral

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In the present study, the larval development stages in the egg capsule of the Japanese snail (Rapana thomasiana, Gross 1861), distributed in the Black Sea were investigated. At the moment of capsule release, the diameter of the spherical egg was 151.5 ± 2.61 µm. After the capsule was released, the eggs gradually lost their spherical structure. After the completion of the early larval development stage in the egg capsule, the larvae hatched from the capsule as a veliger on day 20. The larvae were pelagic during the following 5 days and settled to the bottom day 25. The length and …

The Development Of Brook Trout (Salvelinus Fontinalis Mitchill, 1814) Embryos During The Yolk Sac Period, Nadi̇r Başçinar, İbrahi̇m Okumuş, Ramazan Serezli̇

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The growth rate during yolk absorption, yolk conversion efficiency, dry weight and water contents of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis Mitchill, 1814) larvae were observed and the relationships between degree-days were evaluated. While the mean wet weight was 72.45 ± 5.58 mg (n = 10) at hatching and reached 98.85 ± 6.22 mg just before the swim-up stage, the mean dry weights of the body and yolk sac were 2.70 ± 0.41 and 23.33 ± 0.59 mg at hatching and 9.49 ± 1.27 and 12.46 ± 1.14 mg at swim-up stages, respectively. The mean body dry matter and water content of …
