title: [Embryonic development of Rivulus cylindraceus. (Cyprinodontiformes: Cyprinodontidae): biocontrol agent for mosquitoes].
abstract: A description is made of the ecomorphological development of Rivulus cylindraceus in laboratory conditions. The habitat of this larvivorous fish is the brackish waters in channels near the coast. As a peculiar characteristic, gastrulation takes place after the vitelline cover is completely closed. Approximately 120 hours later, a sharp decrease in heart rate takes place as a possible adaptation to the environmental conditions.
