THERMALLY INDUCED VARIATIONS IN VERTEBRAL NUMBER IN LUCANIA PARVA BAIRD (ANTHERINIFORMES: CYPRINODONTIDAE) REARED IN THE LABORATORY

Summary:
Embryos of Lucania parva Baird from two sites in the Florida Keys were raised in four temperature regimes, 18°, 22°, 26°, and 30°C to determine the response of vertebral numbers to different incubation temperatures. The result was in inverse linear relationship, with vertebral numbers increasing with decreasing temperature. Temperature modified the developmental rates, causing the embryos in the warm temperatures to hatch earlier than those in the cold temperatures.
