Abstract

A total of 2166 larval fishes were collected from 186 zooplankton samples
taken vertically by a Hansen egg-net from the upper 50-m layer of Gulf of Aden
during five cruises undertaken by F. R. V. MANIHINE. Of these larvae, 1991
were sorted into 51 known families. 44 genera and 11 species could be identified.
. Larvae belonging to the families Myctophidae, Gobiidae, Gonostomateidae, Engraulidae,
Synodontidae and Serranidae together constituted 70% of the collection.
The larvae of the other 45 identified families were stray, but included some
commercially important taxa. The frequency of occurrence and distribution of
the taxa of all the 51 families are given.
