Autonomous Development

The integrated innate immune features of the calcareous egg and its contents are a critical underpinning of the remarkable evolutionary success of the Aves clade. Beginning at the time of laying, the initial protective structures of the egg, i.e., the biomineralized eggshell, egg-white antimicrobial peptides, and vitelline membrane, are rapidly and dramatically altered during embryonic development. The embryo-generated extra-embryonic tissues (chorioallantoic/amniotic membranes, yolk sac, and associated chambers) are all critical to counteract degradation of primary egg defenses during development. With a focus on the chick embryo (Gallus gallus domesticus), this review describes the progressive transformation of egg innate immunity by embryo-generated structures and mechanisms over the 21-day course of egg incubation, and also discusses the critical interplay between autonomous development and maternal anticipation.

Multiparous Female

Multiparous female snow crabs (Chionoecetes opilio) were collected by trap and Nephrops trawl in the fjord of Bonne Bay, Newfoundland, between April 1988 and August 1992 to study the fecundity and embryonic development. A relationship was established between the color of the egg mass and embryonic development. Fecundity was positively correlated with carapace width. A female of 67 mm carapace width can produce up to about 54 000 eggs. Egg mortality over the incubation period could reach 21%, being greater in larger females. Based on the bimodal distributions of embryonic developmental stages observed in the study, the female reproductive cycle was determined as 2 years and females probably only hatch two broods in their lifetime. Eggs hatch mainly in May and June.

Embryonic And Larval Development

SummaryTemperature is an environmental factor that influences the development of fish, and when changed abruptly can lead to high mortality. Some species of fish are influenced by this factor, exhibiting a longer time for embryonic development and time to first feeding. This study aims to evaluate the effect of water temperature on embryonic and larval development up to first feeding, to describe the time in hours post fertilization (hpf) of the emergence of different structures and to determine the best hatching rate and survival of animals under different treatments. Five different egg incubation temperatures were used (24, 26, 28, 30 or 32°C, respectively). The eggs were observed at regular intervals of 30 min up to 24 h, every 2 h until 48 h and every 4 h until the display of first feeding in all treatments. Embryonic development was longer for eggs incubated at 24°C and the best results for hatching rate and survival of spawning efficiency were at 28°C. We recommend that incubation of Trichogaster leeri eggs is carried out at 28°C up to the first feeding of larvae.
