Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
Barbus barbus | Egg | Oocyte diameter | The mean diameter of non-swollen barbel eggs is 2.0 mm | 2.0 mm |
Barbus barbus | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | Having contacted with water, eggs increased to 2.4 mm in diameter (i.e. by 20%) within one hour. | 2.4 mm |
Barbus barbus | Egg | Egg adhesiveness | Since barbel eggs are slightly sticky it was not necessary to remove stickiness | Adhesive |
Barbus barbus | Egg | Incubation time | Their incubation at water temperature of 20.2°C lasted 3 days and 15 hours from insemination to hatching of the first embryos, and 4 days and 11 hours to the hatching of the last embryos | 20.2 days |
Barbus barbus | Egg | Temperature for incubation | The eggs were incubated in PVC incubators 250 ml in volume, based on the principle of the Zuh flask, at constant water temperature of 20.2°C. When the first embryos had hatched the water temperature was decreased to 19.2°C. | 250.0 °C |
Barbus barbus | Egg | Degree-days for incubation | 73.8 DD for the first embryos and 90 DD for the last embryos at 20.2°C. Others authors observed hatching at 17.1°C on the 6th day after insemination (97.6 DD) | 73.8 °C * day |
Barbus barbus | Larvae | Initial larval size | Embryo hatched at the beginning of the hatching period were 7.0 mm in total length, those hatched at the end 7.4 mm total length. The total length and weight of hatched embryos were 7.0-7.4 mm and 5.8-6.0 mg, respectively. | 7.2 mm |
Barbus barbus | Larvae | Larvae behaviour | After hatching the embryos rested on the bottom of the hatching apparatus, performing only occassional short movements, most frequently when disturbed by handling the apparatus | Demersal |
Barbus barbus | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | Reared at 19°C | 19.0 °C |
Barbus barbus | Larvae | Full yolk-sac resorption | The change to exclusively exogenous nutrition took place on the 15th to 17th day of the development, at 19°C | 15.0 °C * day |
Barbus barbus | Larvae | Onset of exogeneous feeding | The larva at the age of 12 days and 14 hours (Tl=12.9 mm; w=13.5 mg) was observed to ingest food for the first time (at that time the number of degree-days from the beginning of development was 245.8) at 19°C | 12.0 °C * day |
