Abstract
The results of the study of growth, ossification sequence and peculiarities of the development of skeletal elements, body proportions and meristic characters of laboratory-reared larvae and fry of two dwarf forms of Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus сomplex spawning at the shore slope (Lake Tokko) and in the profundal zone (Lake Bol’shoe Leprindo) (Transbaikalia) are presented. Charr from Lake Bol’shoe Leprindo demonstrated slower rates of growth and morphogenesis, retardation of the ossification of their predorsal bones series with its displacement from larval to juvenile period of the ontogeny, but the acceleration of the development of the vertebral column. High mortality of pre-larvae of charr from this lake connected with the transfer to exogenous feeding was observed. For the first time the problem of the reorganization of early ontogeny of charr of the genus Salvelinus in connection with the colonization of deepwater habitat is discussed. In larvae of charr from Lake Tokko, the ossification of vertebral centra was often accompanied by the formation of anomalous bony structures in the notochord. The phenomenon of the penetration of skeletogenic cells into the notochord, which has been described in hybrids of sympatric charr forms, was found in a pure charr form for the first time. The development of characteristic morphological features of the two charr forms in the ontogeny was traced. Differences in body proportions between their fry corresponding to those between adult fish were revealed.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Ichthyology is an international peer-reviewed journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. It covers original studies in fish taxonomy, evolution, molecular biology, morphology, species diversity, zoological geography, genetics, physiology, ecology, behavior, reproduction, embryology, invasions, and protection. Some problems of applied ichthyology are also covered. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
