[1] According to the FAO, the fish have been overexploited in the Seychelles, but the stock is recovering. The commercial capture of ...

Fish embryos go through a process called mid-blastula transition which is observed around the tenth cell division in some fish species. Once zygotic gene transcription starts, slow cell division begins and cell movements are observable. [4] During this time three cell populations become distinguished. The first population is the yolk syncytial ...
The egg cell is generally asymmetric, having an animal pole (future ectoderm).It is covered with protective envelopes, with different layers. The first envelope – the one in contact with the membrane of the egg – is made of glycoproteins and is known as the vitelline membrane (zona pellucida in mammals).
The discovery rate of siphonophore species was slow in the 18th century, as only four additional species were found. [11] During the 19th century, 56 new species were observed due to research voyages conducted by European powers. [11] The majority of new species found during this time period were collected in coastal, surface waters. [11]
