Abstract

AbstractLarvae and juveniles of three species in the family Gobiidae are described based on laboratory-reared material: Bathygobius fuscus to post-settlement, Bathygobius cyclopterus to 2 days old, and Bathygobius petrophilus to just after hatching. Newly hatched larvae of these species are distinguishable from each other by the melanophore arrangements on the dorsal region of the trunk, ventrally near the tip of the tail, and along the lateral midline. The early development of Bathygobius fuscus was similar to that described previously for Bathygobius soporator but differed in the appearance of melanophores and the shape of the second dorsal fin and anal fin.
