Abstract
The eggs of most animal species are surrounded by an extracellular matrix known as chorion, egg envelope, egg coat, or zona pellucida. Development of fish embryo usually takes several days in an aquatic environment. During embryonic development, the chorion must protect embryo from physical damage and microbial infection in the exposed aquatic environment. (omitted)
