Egg and larval development of the silver warehou, seriolella punctata (Pisces: Centrolophidae)

Abstract

Eggs ranged from 1.10 to 1.17 mm in diameter and contained a single oil droplet 0.30–0.35 mm in diameter. Hatching occurred after 146 h at 10–13°C and larvae survived for 4 days. Comparison with other Seriolella species shows features allowing distinction of S. punctata eggs and larvae. © 1981 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
