Southern Bluefin tuna: Egg to larvae

This is the first attempt at capturing a time lapse sequence of the development of a Southern Bluefin tuna egg, spawned at the Cleanseas Tuna Ltd hatchery at Arno Bay, Australia. Early cell division from the 2 cell stage onwards can be clearly seen. Several embryonic stages were captured including the first signs of "twitching" inside the egg. Subsequent attempts will aim to improve the fluidity of the time lapse by increasing the frame capture frequency.
