Epiboly in zebrafish is the first coordinated cell movement, beginning at the dome stage late in the blastula period and continuing throughout gastrulation. [3] At this point the zebrafish embryo contains three portions: an epithelial monolayer known as the enveloping layer (EVL), a yolk syncytial layer (YSL) which is a membrane-enclosed group of nuclei that lie on top of the yolk cell, and ...
This layer functions in protection by allowing the embryo to develop in a hypotonic solution so the cell will not burst. [5] Finally, the third set of blastomeres are the deep cells. These deep cells are located between the enveloping layer and the yolk syncytial layer and eventually give rise to the embryo proper. [1]
The Zebrafish Information Network is an online biological database of information about the zebrafish (Danio rerio). The zebrafish is a widely used model organism for genetic , genomic , and developmental studies, and ZFIN provides an integrated interface for querying and displaying the large volume of data generated by this research.

The location of the body on the back side of the egg is drawn dotted. Compensatory movements can be observed between 14:40 and 16:40 p.f. During this period those cells that will form the eyes migrate anti-clockwise (perspective of the embryo), whereas the future mid- and hindbrain cells migrate clockwise between 15:15 and 16:40 h (arrows).
Zebrafish embryo 48 hours after fertilization. The arrows indicate four Rohon–Beard neurons. [1] Rohon–Beard cells are specialized neurons with mechanoreceptive properties. They occur during the embryonic stage of development and are found in the dorsal part of the spinal cord in fish and amphibians. [2]
The zebrafish embryo develops rapidly, with precursors to all major organs appearing within 36 hours of fertilization. The embryo begins as a yolk with a single enormous cell on top (see image, 0 h panel), which divides into two (0.75 h panel) and continues dividing until there are thousands of small cells (3.25 h panel).
Further, after clustering the zebrafish gene expression data into “transcription modules” reflecting each stage of development, they found multiple lines of evidence supporting the early conservation model (gene sequence, age, gene family size, and expression conservation) while only the analysis of gene regulatory regions supported the ...
A pregnant Southern platyfish. Pregnancy has been traditionally defined as the period of time eggs are incubated in the body after the egg-sperm union. [1] Although the term often refers to placental mammals, it has also been used in the titles of many international, peer-reviewed, scientific articles on fish.
