<abstract xmlns="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0">Embryonic stage is one of the most fundamental and important phase in the life cycle of&#13;
fishes. Eight stage of egg development were determined for vendace (Coregonus albula L.)&#13;
in the artificially fertilized spawns.&#13;
According to our data the first embryonic stage of vendace lasts 4 days, the second stage-&#13;
36 days, the third embryonic stage continued approximately 36-52 days, the forth stage -&#13;
until 76 days from fertilization, the fifth - from 76 up to 105-1 10 days, the sixth stage starts&#13;
on 105-1 10 day from fertilization and lasts nearly 135-1 42 days, the seventh stage -from&#13;
136-1 42 to 157 days, the eights stage starts on the 157 day and ends on the 161 day. All&#13;
processes are discussed in details, spawn diameter, length of embryo and yolk-sac are also&#13;
determined.&#13;
Average length of the newly hatched larva is 9.1 1+0.385mm and length of yolk-sac -&#13;
1.21+0.089 mm.&#13;
Embryonic development depends on climatic factors, spawn quality, on the process of&#13;
oogenesis and fertilization.</abstract>
