“…Dorsal and anal fin development in K. stappersii correspond with these observations (Mabee, 1988; Mabee et al, 2002) (Table 2). The bidirectional development of fin elements is also found for C. harengus (Fischbach et al, 2022), C. chanos (Taki et al, 1986), D. rerio (Bird & Mabee, 2003; Parichy et al, 2009), and Rutilus caspicus (Hasanpour et al, 2015). The anal fin of E. japonicus displays the same bidirectional development as described for the other species but in the dorsal fin the development of the first elements is shifted posterior and only few elements develop more posterior while most elements later emerge anterior (Balart, 1995).…”

“…In order to understand the general pattern of fin development of Otomorpha and Otophysi we discuss the median‐fin development of K. stappersii mainly in comparison to its close relative Chanos chanos (Taki et al, 1986) as well as three other otomorph taxa the clupeiforms Clupea harengus (Fischbach et al, 2022) and Engraulis japonicus (Balart, 1995), and the cypriniform Danio rerio (Bird & Mabee, 2003; Parichy et al, 2009) (Table 2). The adult state of the dorsal fin of K. stappersii was also compared with a fossil relative † Mahengichthys singidaensis (Davis et al, 2013).…”

“…In the three species K. stappersii , C. harengus , and E. japonicus the pterygiophores in the dorsal fin develop prior to the pterygiophore in the anal fin (Balart, 1995; Fischbach et al, 2022). In the two other species, C. chanos and D. rerio , first the pterygiophores in the anal fin and then slightly delayed the pterygiophores in the dorsal fin develop (Bird & Mabee, 2003; Parichy et al, 2009; Taki et al, 1986).…”

“…In the two other species, C. chanos and D. rerio , first the pterygiophores in the anal fin and then slightly delayed the pterygiophores in the dorsal fin develop (Bird & Mabee, 2003; Parichy et al, 2009; Taki et al, 1986). In all species, the first elements of the pterygiophores to form are the cartilaginous, rod‐shaped proximal‐middle radials which later broaden dorsally (Bird & Mabee, 2003; Fischbach et al, 2022; Parichy et al, 2009; Taki et al, 1986). Balart (1995) observed “pre‐cartilaginous dorsal anlagen” which are located dorsally in the body on the margin towards the larval fin fold, which then condense and form the cartilaginous, rod‐shaped proximal‐middle radials.…”

“…Studies on the evolution and distribution of this structure are lacking for otomorphs and non‐euteleosts. There is nothing known about its function and only few ontogenetic studies provide data on its development (e.g., Balart, 1995; Fischbach et al, 2022; Taki et al, 1986). In this study, we describe in detail the dorsal and anal fin development of the gonorynchiform species Kneria stappersii .…”

The Gonorynchiformes are a small order of fish comprising only 38 species (Fricke et al., 2022). However, within the last two decades, gonorynchiforms were studied extensively because of their phylogenetic position within otomorphs (e.g., Britz & Moritz, 2007;Coburn & Chai, 2003;Grande & Arratia, 2010). The Gonorynchiformes represents the sister taxon of the Otophysi, which are a very diverse group comprising two-thirds of the worldwide freshwater species (

Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) plays a key role within temperate marine food webs and is targeted by a significant over-regional fishery. Due to its high economic importance, dynamics in herring stock biomass and recruitment are closely monitored, forming the basis for fisheries management advice. As recruitment patterns translate into the adult stock biomass, early life stage ecology has been thoroughly addressed in fisheries research. Larval monitoring programs commonly focus on length measurements and abundance indices, rarely, information on larval developmental stages is given. As length is highly influenced by temperature, salinity and food availability, their size range can significantly vary between cohorts, populations, and ecotypes. Nowadays, a systematic staging system from the 1970s provides the standard guide for herring larval development, although it does not fully resolve important developmental stages. Here, we propose an improved staging system based on external morphology and skeletal development of herring larvae. The staging system has been developed and tested with herring larvae from different populations of the North and Baltic Sea to ensure applicability. The system comprises 15 stages (+substages) in 5 major developmental phases: the yolk sac phase, the dorsal fin development, the caudal fin development, the pelvic fin development, and the juvenile phase. This staging system aims to simplify herring larval staging to gain a more specific picture of early life dynamics. Because of the detailed description of the development, future studies are better equipped to identify stages which, for example, show high mortality rates and better link them to environmental circumstances.

Ontogeny reveals the origin of Gemminger bones in Mormyridae

Mormyridae are well known and intensively studied for their weak electric organ discharges, which facilitate communication and orientation. The Gemminger bones of Mormyridae are located next to the electrical organ in the caudal peduncle; however, they have not attracted much interest until recently. Therefore, we investigated the diversity of Gemminger bones in mormyrids and studied their ontogenetic development in Mormyrus rume proboscirostris. Gemminger bones are paired, thin, elongated ossifications lying on the dorsal and ventral sides of the caudal peduncle, and usually reach anterior well below the dorsal and anal fin bases. Ontogeny revealed that they are not intermuscular ossifications, as suspected based on the anatomical position of this structure and the systematic position of the mormyrids. Instead, they are membrane ossifications that originate from the fin stays of the dorsal and anal fins.
