摘要

Abstract

Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) are a commercially important fish in China and an ideal aquaculture species. However

culturists experience high larval and juvenile mortality during mass production. To provide insight into ways to improve larviculture techniques

we describe the morphological characteristics and behavior of loach during the larval and early juvenile stages. Yolksac larvae ranged from 2.8 to 4.0 mm body length (BL) between days 0 to 4; preflexion larvae ranged from 3.6 to 5.5 mm BL between days 4 to 6; flexion larvae ranged from 4.8 to 8.1 mm BL between days 5 and 14; and postflexion larvae ranged from 7.1 to 15.7 mm BL between days 11 to 27; the minimum length and age of juveniles was 14.1 mm BL and 23 d

respectively. Loach are demersal from hatch through to the early juvenile stages. A suite of morphological characteristics (e.g.

external gill filament and ventral mouth opening) and behavioral traits have developed to adapt to demersal living. We observed positive allometric growth in eye diameter

head length

head height

and pectoral fin length during the early larval stages

reflecting the priorities in the development of the organs essential for survival. Our results provide a basis for developing techniques to improve the survival of larval and juvenile loach during mass production.
