I did it again

Yesterday, I showed off a few embryos I’d collected from my fish tanks that morning — they were at roughly the 16 cell stage. Then today, I put up a video of the same beast at 24 hours old. It was a bit busy, because this is the age when they are going through all kinds of spontaneous muscle contractions, so I also anesthetized one of its siblings and tossed that on the scope. Stoned fish are so much more cooperative.

    However, (1) You have to use the correct-sized stone; (2) Don’t start stoning until the local woomeister says to; (3) Don’t name any of the fishies “Jehovah” (thud, Thud!, THUD); and, most importantly, thud! (Ouch!) (4) thud No thud cootie-carriers! THUD! Excuse me, I thud need to urgently Thud limp off thud befor—THUD! THUD!! THUD…

    I’d have to guess…a few hundred thousand? A million? I once estimated the number in just the spinal cord of a 5 day fish, and that was about 200,000.

    I suppose all the cells in the embryo do not divide at the same constant rate? Otherwise it would be easy to estimate the number of cells after a certain time.

    Would you please post videos on YouTube, that I might view them ? periscope.tv has yet to work for me.
