Figure 4

Heart rates of medaka and zebrafish during embryonic development. (a,b) Heart rates of unhatched embryos were measured from onset of heartbeat until hatching (details in Methods). (a) Circadian oscillation of heart rate in medaka from 3 dpf onwards (mean ± s.d., n = 13–18 each point in time). (b) In zebrafish, the onset of the heartbeat was followed by an immediate increase of heart rate passing into a less steep slope of increase at around 210 bpm (mean ± s.d., n = 12–52 each point in time).
