Korean Sandlance Eggs on Sargassum | Hypoptychus dybowskii

Pictured here are several clusters of Korean sandlance (Hypoptychus dybowskii) eggs, with developing embryos becoming visible in some of the eggs. Each egg is about 2mm in size. These small fish, growing up to 10cm in length, produce a sticky secretion in their kidneys that they use to adhere eggs to sargassum (Sargassum horneri (Turner) C.Agardh) as shown here.
