MORPHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CORYDORAS AFF. PALEATUS (SILURIFORMES, CALLICHTHYIDAE) AND CORRELATION WITH THE EMERGENCE OF MOTOR AND SOCIAL BEHAVIORS

Morphological development of Corydoras aff. paleatus (Siluriformes, Callichthyidae) and correlation with the emergence of motor and social behaviors

Here we examine major anatomical characteristics of Corydoras aff.paleatus (Jenyns, 1842) post-hatching development, in parallel with its neurobehavioral evolution.Eleutheroembryonic phase, 4.3-8.8 days post-fertilization (dpf); 4.3-6.4 mm standard length (SL) encompasses from hatching to transition to exogenous feeding.Protopterygiolarval phase (8
