Popis: Fish embryos are particularly vulnerable to temperature changes, with the effects varying with developmental stage. The major aim of the present study was to analyse the relationship between apoptosis and heat shock protein (HSP) 70 during embryo development under thermal stress conditions. To this end, Prochilodus lineatus embryos at the blastopore closure stage were subjected to one of three thermal treatments for 1h (Group 1, 25°C (control); Group 2, 20°C; Group 3, 30°C) and then examined at 0, 4 and 8h posttreatment (h.p.t.). The viability of embryos was highest in Group 1 (81.33±16.65%), followed by Group 3 and Group 2 (75.33±12.10% and 68.67±16.86% respectively), with significant difference between Groups 1 and 2 (P
