Head spines restricted to low, smooth supraocular and supracleithral ridges; mouth slightly subterminal from flexion stage; large gap between anus and origin of anal fin, reduced with growth; melanophore dorsally on nape, becoming internal in late preflexion larvae from 4.9 mm; series of melanophores along ventral midline of tail, anteriormost becoming internal during flexion stage. Sequence of fin formation: caudal (3.2-7.0 mm); anal (4.9-12.7 mm); dorsal (4.9-15.9 mm); pelvic (6.0-12.7 mm); pectoral (6.5-15.9 mm). Larvae settle on the bottom at length greater than 23.3 mm BL. |
