Abstract
Most of the eggs and (or) pre-larvae of Acheilognathus signifer were observed from the gills of Unio douglasiae sinuolatus, 30~45 mm in the shell length, that is the host mussel of A. signifer. There was no selectivity in proportion to mussel size at the range observed. One to seven individual eggs and (or) pre-larvae were found in the mussels, with a mean of 2.5 individuals, and the rate of possessing one egg and (or) pre-larva was 50.0%. When the prelarva of A. signifer acquired swimming ability inside the mussel, it moved into the suprabranchial chamber. It was estimated that the growth period was 4~6 weeks. The minute tubercles of the pre-larvae were observed immediately after hatching. Absorption of the minute tubercles was observed starting the 7 th day, with most of tubercles absorbed 13 days after hatching and completed 20 days after the yolk was entirely absorbed.
