Abstract
1. No differences could be established in the embryonic development of the lordotic and normal Lebistes. 2. The water content of developing embryos increases during gestation, but the dry and fat-free dry weights remain constant as does the protein concentration. 3. The calcium concentration, associated with calcification of osseous tissue, increases markedly during the last week of gestation while the phosphorus concentration increases only slightly during the entire brood interval.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
