Development and distribution of Parablennius pilicornis (Cuvier) larvae (Teleostei: Blenniidae) off Namibia

Pages 193-201 | Published online: 08 Apr 2010
 

Abstract

The larvae and transformation stages of Parablennius pilicornis (Cuvier, 1829) are described. All larvae were caught off northern Namibia. Morphological and morphometrical characters are summarized. Possible allometric relationships between different parts of the body and the standard length during development are given. The species spawns inshore during autumn off northern Namibia, and the larvae drift in an offshore direction.
