While performing maintenance on a clutch of 48 hour zebrafish embryos,
I came across one with a swarm of parasites within its chorion. All
the other embryos in the clutch were fine. I examined the embryo 5
hours later and it was almost completely devoured. I assume that this
is a parasite that the mother passed on? Unfortunately, the cross was
albino stock and the individual fish was put back into a group tank
after breeding. What were those things and what action if any needs
to be taken?
If anyone would like a picture or video of the embryo Id be happy to
send one in hopes of identifying the parasite.
