Chiromonid eggs and larvae

Post by Pau »

I've found at the hard disk some pictures from 2015 summer that I'm now processing to post some of them

At a freshwater small reservoir that we use as swimming pool there were some gelatinous cylinders that at the stereomicroscope showed being chiromonid eggs helically disposed and...just hatching!.

No much problem with this pond water, it's changed every day for just extracted of a well clean one to water the orange trees field crops and cleaned every week. The chiromonids chose a wrong place to lay their eggs.

Interesting set of chiromonid images, the larva reminds me somewhat of aeolosoma except there is no evidence of any setae to be seen. Aquatics are always interesting to view with a scope, dissecting or TLM.
