Extract

Fish eggs can be divided into three main groups: marine pelagic eggs which float of their own accord, marine demersal, and freshwater demersal eggs. The embryological development of freshwater teleosts follows an accepted pattern, demonstrated by morphologists during the nineteenth century. Marine embryos, both pelagic and demersal, do not conform in all respects to this pattern, and misunderstandings have frequently arisen by lack of attention to known structural differences between the three groups. Mclntosh & Prince (1890), in their comprehensive review offish development, emphasized some outstanding anomalies in pelagic structure, but gave no adequate explanation of their occurrence.
