1 CO\nRBJTONS TO TN STUDY OF THE REPRODUCTON, PROLFCTY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECTES LEUCAS. PU S DELNEATUS (HAECKEL) (PSCES, CYPRNDAE) GH. BREZEANU n this paper, the author describes the reproduction, the prolificity and the development of Leucaspius delineatus. Though Leucaspius ilelineatus is a very common species, itsbiology is but little known. Speciality literature particularly records certain dala in connection with faunistic and systematic dharacterisiics (BERG,1949; CARAu$u, 1952; nanannscu, i964), PAVLOV. P. and SMrRNov A. r. (1965, studied Leucaspius population from the middle Dnlepe_r basin, making a detailed analysis of mcriitic characteristics accompanigd by data concer' ning reproduction and nutrition. Previously, BALON (1956) dealt with the appearison and development of scales. Though considered as an economically valueless species? its occurencein numeroius akeso marsheso ponds and rivers is important both in regard of composition of the fish fauna in the respective basin, as well as in regard of tie position of this species in the trophic chain. From this point of ^view it maybe considered haimful as competing in the food ofthg youngof cer' tain ipecies of economic valueo or usefuf as forage fish food. Therefore, at least fiom this point of view, the study of its biology is of im,portante. A species iittle exigent of environm,ental conditions, it feeds particulgly on zooplanktonic organiims (Rotatoria, Copepoda, Cladoce_ra) but also on larvae of simuliidae, C6leoptera, Tendipedidae and bentonic Culicidae or on perimacrophytic ones (PAVLOV and SMRNOY' 1965). Ourinvestigations on the reproduction and development were carried out in the carp reaiing ponds fromthe Dridu commune (a) in 1964L967' and' in 196? in the SutG[iol lake in the zone where the latter extends into a stagnant water channel. The ponds are characterized by shallow water reduced transparency, silty substratum, stony development of aquatic, macrophytic vegetat_ion, profure phytoplankton and zooplinkton.

(!,PRG, L964), while in the miaile Dnieperlasin, PAVLOV and S]{FNOY (1965) show that in May gonads are in th;4th development stage? which confirms the ecological variability of thie species. Lewcaspius is a foecies with portioned asynchronou8_reproducture (prne' GHN, cit.'from 7). ir in the caie of other cyprinids with similar reproduction (PAPADOPOL, 1958, f963) in during in thbsparonirig pe,riodo in_ the lyary: eggs in different development stagedare to befound.

At g;;ter, greatero depths where temperature is rs by23'lower, byjrt'_lower, and oxygen below saturation linrrit, f,eucaspius no longer spawns. Reproduction is ge^nerally interrrrnted interrupted if water temperature temoeratirre drops below Selow 17l 1718"C. t amy amv therefore be said that from these points of view is thermophilouso phytophilous said thit from these points of view leucaspius is tht and oxyphilous.

Thus, below 20o the duration of"incubation increuses!v even after ihis time hatching did not take place the embry_o dies. n such ceses death is induced by the i',cipacity of the lmbryo to break egg membrane the and thus to free itself from it. Ti this effect it is recorded that at the tempe' rature of 1718" the movemente of the embryo within the egg are slower. The rupture of the membrane is determined by the powerful movements of the embry6. Even younger embryos 45 days oo_6. n.y brak this membrane when eggs ire kept at higher ternperatures (2_526'). n connectioo iith this'facto glbunfd[a and BUZNCOV (cit. by lt) show that before hatching the embryo secretes the hatchjng ferment whjch diminishes the resistance ot the snttonodiog membrane. t therefore seems that in conditions of a low water temperature th"is ferment is no longer secreted and the resistance of the membrane is not modified.
