文摘

?Eggs of the giant mudskipper, Periophthalmodon schlosseri were collected from a burrow in Penang, Malaysia, in November 1998, and hatched larvae were reared in the laboratory. The eggs were demersal with adhesive filaments and elliptical in shape (0.83–1.43?mm in long-axis diameter). Newly hatched larvae (2.1–2.6?mm in notochord length) possessed a yolk sac. The number of myomeres was 10?+?17?=?27. The mouth and anus were already opened. The larvae started feeding one day after hatching and completely absorbed the yolk by the third day at a water temperature of 24.5–28.0°C.
