Abstract

Abstract Measurements of oxygen and phosphate uptake rates and liberation rates of carbon dioxide and ammonia by Indian carp eggs were made in the Chinese hatchery system during different hours of development. The uptake rates of oxygen and phosphate tended to rise gradually for 11 h of development and then declined sharply. On the other hand, the liberation rates of carbon dioxide and ammonia sharply increased during hatching and then declined. This suggests that developing embryos become metabolically most active during hatching.
