## Abstract Teleost fishes produce coordinated escape responses (C‐starts) at hatching. This implies that essential swimming morphologies and motor behaviors develop during the incubation interval while the embryo is in the chorion. We examined prehatching motor behaviors in rainbow trout __Oncorhy

Abstract
Due to their large yolk size, salmonid embryos take a longer time for epiboly movements and germ ring closure compared with most other teleost species. Here we analyzed the germ ring closure, tail bud formation and development of the notochord and somites in rainbow trout using live embryo imaging and in situ hybridization with the rt‐ntl probe. Rt‐ntl is expressed in the germ ring (blastula, gastrula and somitogenesis stage), notochord, tail bud and somites (somitogenesis stage). When epiboly covers half the yolk, a tail bud‐like structure is formed and somitogenesis starts. By the time epiboly is completed, the yolk covered and the germ ring closed, the embryo has already reached the 20 somite stage. Therefore, the timing of germ ring closure and tail bud formation is reversed in trout embryos compared with zebrafish and other small model fish embryos (heterochrony). Based on this result, we re‐examined the definition of tail bud formation. J. Exp. Zool. (Mol. Dev. Evol.) 314B:187–195, 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

In fish, the GH/IGF system installs very early during development suggesting that this system could promote embryonic growth and development. In contrast to mammals, the embryonic growth rate of poikilotherms depends considerably on the incubation temperature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to
The older literature suggests that the development of the blood vascular system in teleosts differs from that of other vertebrates. The evidence, however, came mostly from studies of salmonid embryos beyond the stages when blood cells had begun to circulate, which overlooked earlier developmental st
