1 day ago · 4. Are there any marine animals besides octopuses that die after mating? 5. Do octopuses show any signs of grief or pain before they die? 6. Why do female octopuses stop eating after their eggs hatch? 7. Is the death of the mother octopus beneficial for her offspring? 8. Are there any exceptions to the semelparous pattern among octopuses? 9.

Nov 24, 2015 · Our study offers evidence indicating that a significant portion of fish mortality occurs during the endogenous (yolk) and mixed (yolk /prey) feeding period in the absence of predators, revealing...

To test this hypothesis, we incubated newly laid sea turtle eggs over a range of temperatures in different combinations of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations and assessed embryo development and death rates.

Mortality was greatest during the egg stage in the walleye and striped bass, but during the postlarval stage in some marine species.

Egg and larval surveys can determine the distribution of the eggs, larvae and juveniles of marine fish species, the dis­ tribution of spawning adults, and the main spawning areas for important commercial species. They also examine the relative abundance of various spe­ cies of fish eggs and larvae found each

Phillott & Godfrey (2020) have recently described the best practices and potential techniques for assessing fertility of sea turtle eggs and distinguishing between infertile eggs and those that experienced intra-oviducal or early embryonic death: • physical examination of the egg exterior (eggshell) for the ‘white-spot’

Jun 30, 2003 · In the seed production of several marine teleosts, large numbers of dead larvae are frequently observed on the water surface around the time of first feeding. We tried to prevent such “surface death” by the addition of chicken egg white (EW) into the rearing water.

Size.-The average marine and freshwater fish egg size is about 1 .O mm. According to Ahlstrom and Moser (1 980), pelagic fish eggs range from 0.5 mm [ Vinciguerria (Fig. 13D)] to about 5.5 mm (Muraenidae). Demersal eggs may range higher in size (up to 7.0-8.0 mm), e.g., members of the families Salmonidae, An- arhichadidae, and Zoarcidae.
