Captive bred yellow tangs seems to always be just one or two years away, even though the Oceanic Institute has been hard at work to crack the code for about ten years now. Spawning surgeonfish in captivity is relatively simple but rearing the tiny larvae to adulthood has turned out to be one of the holy grails of captive bred ornamental fish.
Four years ago, in the echo chamber that is the internet, some misinformationmade the roundswhich seemed to support the notion that yellow tangs had indeed been captive bred. While they were technically ‘captive bred’, these offspring never made it past a couple weeks of larval duration which is not an actual success by any measure.
In the intervening years, the Oceanic Institute never let up on breeding斑马瘤黄体,他们一直在推动和尝试各种幼虫饮食,以使黄色的tang幼虫越来越长。去年乍得·卡兰(Chad Callan)宣布幼虫黄唐斯通过了50天的里程碑and it seemed like settlement of the yellow tangs could be imminent.
las,又一年过去了,没有婴儿黄色的唐人从涨潮项目正在产生的大量幼虫中得到解决。但是,本周,海洋学院宣布,他们现在已经将黄色的唐人(符合70天的里程碑奠定了),这些鱼确实看起来像是拐角处,因为它是小小的黄色小唐少年。
乍得·卡兰(Chad Callan)和船员设法提高了70天大的黄色唐人(Post Post Post Hatch)幼虫,开始形状变形,我们甚至可以看到在身体的某些部位中有一些色素沉着的暗示,尤其是头部和头部和尾巴。在这一点上,我们有很好的文档appearance在固定前和定居后黄色的唐斯(Tangs)中,似乎确实需要更长的时间才能使他们的小鱼定居下来。
The other significant milestone for these captive bred yellow tangs is the development of the dorsal and anal fin which single a change from pelagic free floating larvae to self-directed, mobile fish that is ready to swim around on the reef.
Success with the yellow tang will not only mean that the aquarium hobby will eventually enjoy sustainable captive bred yellow tangs, but that we might even look forward to seeing the techniques forZ.耀斑被应用于其他大量外科医生。圈养的黄色Tang幼虫的持续越来越长,现在我们希望阅读Rising Tide的公告,他们终于通过圈养的育种外科医生屏障破裂了。[[涨潮这是给予的
