"When the young is completely formed, the yolk remains attached to the belly by a long chord, consisting of blood vessels, and the fish swims about in the surrounding jelly with this attached to it. If the bag is torn, and the fish is taken out and put into the water, it swims about, but if the vessels going to the yolk are wounded, the fish immediately dies."
