Alcichthys elongatus Sculpin Eggs

This is a close-up view taken at four times life-size magnification of developing elongated sculpin (Alcichthys elongatus) eggs. The eye of a well-developed embryo is visible, as is an eye that is just beginning to take form in another egg. The egg that is entirely white is unviable, perhaps because it was not properly fertilized. Photographed in Hokkaido, Japan.
