New larval fish descriptions

The larval fish descriptions are designed to supplement the information provided by the book, Larvae of Temperate Australian Fishes: a laboratory guide for larval fish identification. The descriptions provided are in the same format as the book, and will compliment it as additional chapters.

This site publishes easy-to-use versions of peer reviewed taxonomic descriptions. Each description is introduced with a family summary (specific to temperate Australia), listing the genera, families with similar larvae and literature cited.
