Larval development of hoplias cf. Lacerdae (Pisces: Erythrinidae) and delayed initial feeding effects

Larval development of Hoplias cf. lacerdae was studied under laboratory conditions. After hatching, ontogenetic changes were recorded on food-deprived larvae in 12-hour intervals. Mouth opening occurred after 2.5 days and notochord terminated flexure in 6.5 days. Notochord length increased at a cons...
