Abstract
Development stages of the embryo and larval period of Indian ornamental barb, Puntius sophore have been studied under captive conditions. The newly deposited fertilized eggs were demersal, slightly sticky in nature, translucent, un-pigmented, light yellowish in colour and almost spherical in shape with diamention of 909.200μm to 871.609μm. The seven broad period of embryogenesis- zygote, cleavage, blastula, glastula, segmentation, pharyngula and hatching have been identified and the duration of each period is recorded. The 1st cleavage started within 20-25min after fertilization. By 1h 10min the blastula period started and took 1h 20min to 2h 30min to attain the gastrula. The organogenesis started after 07h of fertilization. The embryonic stage appeared at 09 h when forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, 22 somites, melanophores on yolksac and decreased of yolk volume were noteable. The heart started beating and blood circulation also began at 09h 40min after fertilization. Hatching took place after 14-16 h of incubation. The hatchlings were transparent, 3.0±1mm in length with a large oval head, well defined large yolk sac and short tail.
Key words: Puntius sophore; sophore barb; embryonic development, larval development.
