Development of neuromuscular transmission in a larval tunicate [PDF]
1. The time sequence of the development of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), acetylcholine (ACh) receptors and functional synapses on the embryonic muscle membrane in a tunicate larva (Halocynthia roretzi) was investigated in vivo.2. The fertilized tunicate egg was incubated in natural sea water at 9° C.

Larval development and settlement of a whale barnacle [PDF]
Abstract Larval development and settlement of whale barnacles have not previously been described, unlike intertidal barnacles. Indeed, the mechanisms of the association between barnacles and whales have not been studied. Here we describe the larval development and settlement of the whale barnacle, Coronula diadema, and possible ...

Developing retinotectal projection in larval goldfish [PDF]
AbstractThe retinotectal projection in larval goldfish was studied with the aid of anterograde filling of optic fibers with HRP applied to the retina. The results show that optic fibers have already reached the tectum and begun to form terminal arbors in newly hatched fish.

Development of the larval lymphatic system in the zebrafish
The lymphatic vascular system is a hierarchically organized complex network essential for tissue fluid homeostasis, immune trafficking, and absorption of dietary fats in the human body. Despite its importance, the assembly of the lymphatic network is still not fully understood.

Biomechanics of swimming in developing larval fish
ABSTRACTMost larvae of bony fish are able to swim almost immediately after hatching. Their locomotory system supports several vital functions: fish larvae make fast manoeuvres to escape from predators, aim accurately during suction feeding and may migrate towards suitable future habitats.
