Abstract
In this study, the early development of Bunni (Barbus sharpeyi) larvae was surveyed
through morphological changes and measuring total length, standard length, head length,
thickness of larvae, eye diameter and snout length. The initial period of the larval life can be
divided into 2 phases: endogenous and exogenous food sources. During the first three days of
the larvae development, there was a gradual yolk sac reduction until its complete absorption at
the end of third day, indicating the necessity of exogenous feeding. From the fourth to
eleventh day, the final development of the heart, gill, air bladder, fins and intestine were
observed. Total length of newly hatched larvae was 6.26mm and total length of fifteen days
larvae was 8.35mm. The larval development of Barbus sharpeyi was similar to other Barbus
species.
