7. Introduction
Substance & Object
Japanese eel eggs to reach each developmental stage and
hatching
“Would help to conserve the Japanese eel and other anguillid species
worldwide”
“Temperature is one of the most critical and controlling factors during the ontogeny of the embryo and
larval stages of fishes” (Kamler, 2002)

from the beginning to the
end of hatching, and the × marks the time when 50% of
the embryos hatched out.
