Abstract

Early life history of an unidentified species of Stolephorus {Stolephorus
macrops?) was studied, rearing five earlier stages in the laboratory and collecting
the subsequent postlarvae and juvenile (6 stages) from the plankton. The eggs had
occurred in the marine zone of the estuary (salinity 32.58-33.37 %=) during February-
March. The larvae were common in zones ranging in salinity from 15.35 %•>
to 33.37 %.. during March-April. The different stages are illustrated.
