Growth and morphological development of laboratory-reared larval and juvenile three-spot gourami Trichogaster trichopterus

Abstract: Morphological development, including the body proportions, fins, pigmentation and labyrinth organ, in laboratory-hatched larval and juvenile three-spot gourami Trichogaster trichopterus was described. In addition, some wild larval and juvenile specimens were observed for comparison. Body lengths of larvae and juveniles were 2.5 ± 0.1 mm just after hatching (day 0) and 9.2 ± 1.4 mm on day 22, reaching 20.4 ± 5.0 mm on day 40. Aggregate fin ray numbers attained their full complements in juveniles [11.9 mm BL. Pr… Show more

“…For the sake of consistency, this comparison was restricted to freshwater fishes, as the water content of marine fish eggs is generally (much) higher. In eggs of freshwater fishes with V O > 20%, this ratio is about 3.5 ± 0.5 (mean ± SD , 8 spp., Akatsu, Ogasawara, & Yasuda, ; Parameswaran & Murugesan, ; Morioka, Ito, Kitamura, & Vongvichith, ; Morioka, Ito, & Kitamura, ; Morioka, Chanthasone, Phommachan, & Vongvichith, ; Morioka, Vongvichith, Phommachan, & Chantasone, ), whereas in other freshwater fishes producing eggs with no or small oil globule(s), this ratio is about 40% higher (mean ± SD of 5.0 ± 1.1; Mann–Whitney U ‐test; p < 0.0001; 107 spp., authors' unpublished data).…”

“…The basic features of morphological development of this species have been described (Figures 1 & 2) [11]. Subsequent investigations of three anabantoid species, i.e., the snake skin gourami Trichogaster pectoralis [12] the three spot gourami T. trichopterus [13] and the giant gourami Osphronemusgoramy [14], compared morphological and behavioral development and the early biology of larval and juvenile stages ( Figure 3). Besides helping to improve seed production of these species, these findings are relevant to the ecology of related taxa.…”

“…The production of snakeskin gourami is still inhibited by the low survival and the slow growth of this species in the seed phase. The problem solving is pursued through numerous studies about biological reproduction (Oktafia et al, 2014;Ath-Thor et al, 2014), feed management (Murjani, 2011;Siswanto et al, 2016), and growth performance of the snakeskin gourami (Morioka et al, 2010).…”
