Survival during early embryonic development is highly variable in oviparous fishes and appears to be related to events associated with the female at the time of ovulation and spawning. The goal of this study was to identify critical periods of mortality associated with early embryonic development in egg batches from female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) that were checked for ovulation every 5–7 days. The experiment was designed to specifically remove post-ovulatory ageing and reduce paternal variability. Embryo viability in 269 single-pair-mated families was systematically tracked at the following five stages: second cleavage (0.5 days post fertilisation (dpf)), elevated blastula (2.5 dpf), embryonic shield (6 dpf), embryonic keel (9 dpf), and retinal pigmentation (19 dpf). At each of the five stages families with embryo viability assessments of <80% were classed as sub-fertile, whereas those with >80% embryo viability were classed as fertile. Embryo viability in sub-fertile families was distinctly reduced at 0.5 dpf, in contrast to fertile families, but remained constant from that point through to 19 dpf. These results suggest that the critical period of early embryonic mortality in sub-fertile families of rainbow trout parallels events that occur at or shortly after fertilisation and is independent of post-ovulatory aging.

Embryological studies of the teleost lens have attracted little attention. The morphology of the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) lens during embryonic development was investigated using light microscopy. Results indicate that in general, the embryology of the rainbow trout lens proceeds much like that which has been described for other vertebrates. However, evidence in this study indicates that both layers of the lens placode invaginate, forming a lens pit, contradicting earlier descriptions of lens development in fishes. Furthermore, a hollow lens vesicle does not appear during development, as is typically described for the mammalian lens. Most importantly, the posterior limit of the anterior epithelium is situated well beyond the equator, three-quarters of the distance from the anterior pole of the lens. As a result, the germinative and transitional zones are located more posteriorly than traditionally described. The consequence of these features and their relevance to the shape of the lens are discussed.
