Smooth supraocular ridge from about 8 mm; supracleithral ridge serrate from early postflexion stage; 3-4 melanophores along ventral midline of tail; 1-2 melanophores along dorsal midline of posterior region of tail. Sequence of fin formation: caudal (2.9-<5.3 mm); dorsal (3.7-7.9 mm); anal (3.9-7.9 mm); pectoral (3.9-7.9 mm); pelvic (4.3-7.9 mm). Larvae settle on the bottom at 10.0-12.0 mm BL. |
