The chorion microstructure of the eggs of apogonids including Apogon lateralis , A. aureus , A. nitidus , A. cookii and A. guamensis was studied by scanning electron microscopy. In Apogonidae, egg chorion microstructures, especially those in the micropyle region, are useful characters for egg identification.
