A variety of development characteristics, morphological, behavioural, and experiential,
contribute to the extreme vulnerability of young fishes to predation. The influence of these …

The aim of the present paper was to outline the major achievements in larval fish rearing
and, when possible, to speculate on further useful research. The effect of the parents' …

The first edition of Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists has been the primary resource for
teaching modern geometric methods of shape analysis to biologists who have a stronger …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the pattern and variety in the developmental
biology of fishes. There is great variety in the reproductive styles of fish. In most species, the …

The morphology of fishes historically has been the primary source of information for
taxonomic and evolutionary studies. Despite the value and availability of genetic …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the field investigation of the early life stages of
marine fish. The motivations for investigations have changed little over the intervening …

Routine activities of early life history stages of fishes occur in an intermediate hydrodynamic
environment (as identified by Reynolds numbers), between a zone where drag is linearly …

We review intrinsic traits of the early life stages of marine fishes to gain a better
understanding of how climate-driven changes in abiotic (temperature) and biotic (match …

The small and numerous eggs of most teleost fishes develop into small larvae with little yolk,
which is depleted soon after hatching. They are the smallest self-supporting vertebrates …

Zebra danios (Brachydanio rerio) swim in a burst-and-coast mode. Most swimming bouts
consist of a single tail flick and a coasting phase, during which the fish keeps its body …
