Journal ArticleDOI
Towards an explanation of the developmental strategy in leptocephalous larvae of marine teleost fishes
TL;DR: The observation that basic similarities are found in the developmental pattern of all groups of fishes with a leptocephalus (Superorder: Elopomorpha) forms the basis for proposing a common strategy within the superorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in biochemical composition and energy utilization during metamorphosis of leptocephalous larvae of the bonefish (Albula)
Edward Pfeiler,Adriana Luna +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that metamorphosing leptocephali, which apparently do not feed, probably derive most of their energy requirements from metabolizing endogenous lipid and carbohydrate stores formed during the premetamorphic interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing selection in a desert stream-dwelling fish, poeciliopsis monacha.
TL;DR: Examination of diallelic gene loci in P. monacha identified balancing processes that can serve to stabilize genetic polymorphism in this species and identified survival of heterozygotes was intermediate and they exhibited less variance in survival than corresponding homozygotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salinity tolerance of leptocephalous larvae and juveniles of the bonefish (Albulidae:Albula) from the Gulf of California
TL;DR: It is concluded that the early life stages of the bonefish are euryhaline and well-adapted for the hypersaline conditions that can exist during at least a part of their life cycle, but are apparently restricted from living in fresh water habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inshore migration, seasonal distribution and sizes of larval bonefish, Albula, in the Gulf of California
TL;DR: It was concluded that the maximum size attained during larval growth is about 71 mm SL, and metamorphosis is accompanied by a decrease in length, which suggests that the migration is nocturnal.
