Summary:In this paper, the authors compare the feeding and growth of larval round herring (Etrumeus teres ), and gulf menhaden (Brevoortia patronus ). The diets of the larvae of these species might reflect differences in jaw structure and dentition. In addition, differences in diet quality and quantity may register different growth between these species. While feeding and growth of gulf menhaden larvae are documented (Govoni et al. 1983, Stoecker and Govoni 1984, Warlen 1988), similar information on the early life history of round herring is unavailable.
