摘要

Abstract

We describe organogenesis at a histological level in American shad (Alosa sapidissima) larvae from 0 until 45 days after hatching (DAH). Larval development was divided into four stages based on the feeding mode

external morphological features

and structural changes in the organs: stage 1 (0–2 DAH)

stage 2 (3–5 DAH)

stage 3 (6–26 DAH) and stage 4 (27–45 DAH). At early stage 2 (3 DAH)

American shad larvae developed the initial digestive and absorptive tissues

including the mouth and anal opening

buccopharyngeal cavity

oesophagus

incipient stomach

anterior and posterior intestine

differentiated hepatocytes

and exocrine pancreas. The digestive and absorptive capacity developed further in stages 2 to 3

at which time the pharyngeal teeth

taste buds

gut mucosa folds

differentiated stomach

and gastric glands could be observed. Four defined compartments were discernible in the heart at 4 DAH. From 3 to 13 DAH

the excretory systems started to develop

accompanied by urinary bladder opening

the appearance and development of primordial pronephros

and the proliferation and convolution of renal tubules. Primordial gills were detected at 2 DAH

the pseudobranch was visible at 6 DAH

and the filaments and lamellae proliferated rapidly during stage 3. The primordial swim bladder was first observed at 2 DAH and started to inflate at 9 DAH; from then on

it expanded constantly. The spleen was first observed at 8 DAH and the thymus was evident at 12 DAH. From stage 4 onwards

most organs essentially manifested an increase in size

number

and complexity of tissue structure.
