Abstract
This study was carried out to clarify the egg, larvae and juveniles development of Carassius cuvieri in Nakdong River, Gyeongbuk. The amount of spawning of female C. cuvieri was about 30,400~44,900 (average 37,650±7,250). The egg shape was circular and the size was 1.24~1.37 mm (average 1.31±0.04 mm, n=30). At 100 hours after fertilization, more than of the total embryos were hatched. The newly hatched larvae had an 4.69~5.65 mm in total length (average 5.15±0.31 mm, n=10) and had egg yolk in the abdomen. At 3 days after hatching, the preflexion larvae absorbed all egg yolk was 6.27~6.70 mm in total length (average 6.59±0.08 mm, n=10). On the 10 days after hatching, the postflexion larvae were 8.71~8.92 mm in total length (average 8.81±0.07 mm, n=10), and the tip of the caudal fin was bent at 45°. On the 42 days after hatching, the total length of 15.1~16.8 mm (average 15.8±0.57 mm, n=10) was transferred to juvenile as the number of fins was (iii17 dorsal fins, iii4 anal fins) reached a constant number of each part.
