More Information
Summary:Larvae and juveniles of three species in the family Gobiidae were described based on reared material; Priolepis borea survived to post-settlement, and Priolepis cincta and Priolepis latifascima to seven days after hatching. Newly hatched larvae of Priolepis are distinguishable from each other by the presence or absence of melanophores on the yolk, ventral part of the abdomen, posterior angle of the lower jaw, and dorsal region of the body. The presence of a row of melanophores on the ventral part of the body and xanthophores may be useful to identify the genus.
