A guide to the embryonic development of the shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus), reared at a constant temperature

Described is the sequence and timing of embryologic development of shovelnose sturgeon, (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) reared at a constant temperature. Artificially spawned, fertilized eggs were held in a recirculating system. Embryos were sampled hourly during the first 48 h of development and every 3 h thereafter. Embryos were viewed and imaged at 35× magnification.
