Figure Lengend Snippet: Embedding larvae in LMP agarose (A) Representative image of dechorionating process by using microdissection forceps to pull apart chorion so larvae can swim away freely. (B) Schematic of multiple larvae mounted in a single direction (Right side down) after anaesthetizing in 1% tricane (Millipore: E10521). (C) Embedded larve are moved to the prepared mounting incubator. (Refer to “Before you begin” steps 8–13). (D) Representative of removing larvae from agar using microdissection forceps. Inlay (red) shows recommended agar cut location (Magenta dotted line) to free larvae from the agar. (E) Location of agar removal (magenta) for embedding from 4-6 dpf to allow for adequate oxygen and ion exchange during mounting. (F) Lethality of mounting for unmounted control (N = 175) and mounted (N = 198) larvae. Controls were anesthetized for the same duration as mounted individuals, but not embedded in LMP agarose following. Lethality counts were collected at 7 dpf. (G) Same experiment as in (F) examining swim bladder inflation rates. Overinflated represents individuals who float at the surface of the water, underinflated represents individuals who cannot maintain buoyancy, and normal inflation consists of individuals who can freely swim throughout the water column.
