关于与breeding the Schooling Bannerfish,Heniochus diphueretes, the marine ornamental team at the University of Florida’s Tropical Aquaculture Lab doubled down and has just released photographs and video of what is probably the world’s first captive-bred Koran Angelfish,pomacanthus emicirculatus。这些鸡蛋再次在佛罗里达州没有产生,而是在哥伦布动物园和水族馆中收集了1000英里以外的地方。也许迄今为止最令人震惊的消息是,从鸡蛋到prolarvae到幼虫到完全安顿的少年所花费的速度是多快的速度 - 仅26天(实际上,如果您真的看着它,变质和沉降开始了几天之前)。
To put this in perspective, to date this would represent possibly only the 5th Pomacanthus angelfish to be captive bred, with prior successes starting with Martin Moe’s work utilizing wild collected eggs frompomacanthus arcuatus和P. paru创建圈养饲养P. Arcuatus和P. ArcuatusX帕鲁杂交种。然后,数十年过去了,直到我们得知台湾被俘虏的pomacanthus ganselfish,特别是P. maculosus和P. asfur。
But getting back to an angelfish that settles in less than a month – WOW. As a breeder, it is generally considered that the pelagic larval period is the riskiest time for a project – the longer the pelagic larval phase, the more difficult a project you should anticipate. For comparison, I should start with a commonly bred marine species – the Sunrise Dottyback (Psuedochromis flavivertex)。The larval period for that species is generally 28 to 35 days post hatch, whereas we’re seeing a shorter larval period for a pelagic spawning angelfish!
马丁·莫(Martin Moe)和他的大西洋pomacanthus观察到的下一个最短的幼虫时间表大约是35-40天,然后是弗兰克·巴恩施(Frank Baensch)的40天幼虫时期Centropyge argi. Still compare that to the fact that other fish can take much longer. For example, Harlequin Filefish,氧甲锥虫longirostris,大约需要56天的时间来定居Xanthichthys Mento花费100多天。
Then again, Baensch puts the larval timeline ofCentropyge debeliusclose to 120 days! Indeed, when you look around the breeding world we can speculate thatpomacanthus emicirculatus, with only a 26 day larval period, could possibly represent one of the easiest pelagic spawning marine fish to rear. Now all you have to do is know the protocol and get the eggs. And there’s the hiccup – this time around, theRising Tide blog细节非常轻松,所以现在我们只能在图片上流口水……和视频(但是您必须访问博客才能观看令人惊叹的视频!)
Wittenrich博士,Eric Cassiano和Christine Creamer的团队希望他们学到的东西与pomacanthus emicirculatus将很好地转移到上升潮的目标物种之一,即皇帝的神人(Pomacanthus Imperator)。我们希望团队在世界上一切运气。再一次,上升的潮汐计划证明,合作努力“开源繁殖”对每个人来说都是巨大的胜利。
