Apart from spawning inside the nests, females also spawned outside the nests. The percentages of spawned nests were 8.0% to 24.2%. Most eggs were observed adhered to the inner wall of the top half of the nest. Fertilization rates of the nest-spawned eggs varied from 17.3% to 80.8%. Females could spawn after being artificially confined inside the nests with males at ratios of 1:1 or 1:2, but the spawned eggs were not fertilized. Mean hatching rates of artificially fertilized eggs incubated in round plastic buckets were 32.7%-70.6%, and in the net cages, were 4.2%-20.5%, respectively. Mean hatching rates of nest- fertilized eggs incubated in the round plastic buckets were 33.6%-76.3%, and in the net cages, were 5.9%-25.2%. Results showed that round bucket incubation was the best way for hatching fertilized eggs of mudskipper. Keeping the hatching seawater flowing is an important way for increasing the hatching rates of the mudskipper fertilized eggs.展开更多

The results showed that the highest hatchability was obtained by instant treatment with hydrochloric acid （HC1, specific gravity 1.065-1.075） for 5 rain under 46℃. After the B. mandarina eggs were cold stored at 5℃ for 40 days, the highest hatchability was obtained by treatment with HC1 （specific gravity 1.092） for 6 minutes under 47.8℃. For the B. mandarina eggs that were stored at 25℃ for 28 d and then cold-stored at 5℃ for 0-100 days, the highest hatchability was obtained by treatment with HCI （specific gravity 1.092） for 6 rain at 47.8℃. The longer the cold storage period, the higher was the hatchability. Acid treatment on diapause eggs of B. mandarina for 6 rains at 47.8℃ with hydrochloric acid （specific gravity 1.092） before hatching in spring could obviously shorten the hatching stage and increase the hatchability.展开更多
