11/27/11 06:58 PM Here's the abstract in question: We described the development of eggs, larvae and juveniles of the damselfish Chrysiptera rex (SNYDER) in laboratory-reared specimens. The eggs were demersal and elongate ovoid in shape, measuring 1.18-1.25mm*0.55-0.67mm in diameter with a single large (0.18-0.21mm) and one to seven small (0.03-0.08mm) oil globules. Hatching took place from four to six days after spawning at water temperatures of 25.5-27.7.DEG.C.. The newly-hatched larvae measured 3.21-3.46mm in total length and had 27(5+22) myomeres and an oil globule (0.03-0.06mm) in an oval shaped yolk (0.16-0.20*0.10-0.15mm). The mouth and anus of the larvae were open at that time and the yolk sac was completedly absorbed within 48 hours after hatching. The larvae were the successively fed rotifers, Artemia nauplii, fish eggs and chopped meat and about 30 larvae were raised for about three months up to the juvenile stage. The change in color with growth was described for this species for the first time. (author abst.)
