“…The average swimming speeds recorded for the temperate larvae in the present study ranged from 6.3 to 11.2 BL s ; Fukuhara 1985, 1987, Blaxter 1986, Miller et al 1988, Langdon & Collins 2000. Lower water temperature can reduce the swimming speed of fish larvae (Fuiman & Batty 1997).…”

“…In contrast to tropical fishes, larvae of temperate northern hemisphere fishes are weak swimmers (Blaxter 1986, Miller et al 1988. Similarly, the swimming speeds of settlement-size sparids from Japan were relatively slow at about 2 to 3 BL s -1 (Fukuhara 1985(Fukuhara , 1987). Yet 13 mm SL Trachurus larvae in New Zealand sustained swimming speeds of up to 10 BL s -1 (Dudley et al 2000); this is the first record of fast swimming in temperate fish larvae.…”

Observations of behaviour were made on a total of 103 settlement-stage larvae (9 to 15 mm standard length [SL]) of 4 species of estuary-dependent fishes in Lake Macquarie, a barrier estuary on the central coast of New South Wales, Australia. Larvae were released at mid-depth over deep water or within sight of settlement habitat, and their behaviour was observed by SCUBA divers. ) for Pagrus auratus (all family Sparidae) and 12.5 cm s -1 (11.2 BL s -1 ) for Girella tricuspidata (Girellidae). These speeds were faster than previously recorded for temperate fish larvae. It is hypothesised that body morphology determines swimming ability. At these speeds, the larvae are faster than ambient currents. The majority of larvae of all species swam in a directional (non-random) manner, but there was no evidence that the larvae were orienting to the shoreline or the sun. There were species-specific differences in depth profile: the 3 species that settle in seagrass beds preferentially swam near the surface; P. auratus, which settles over soft bottoms, preferentially swam to the bottom. Swimming near the surface in Lake Macquarie brings larvae into strong wind-driven surface currents that carry them to a shoreline and settlement habitat. Larvae of only G. tricuspidata (1 of 3 species that settle in seagrass) were rarely observed to settle when they were released within sight of a seagrass margin.

“…The rapid initial and slower second growth phases observed for newly hatched galjoen larvae is similarly described for other marine fish larvae (Pacific mackerel Scomber japonicus, Hunter and Kimbrell 1980; seabass Lates calcarifer, Kohno et al 1986; Black Sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegeli, Fukuhara 1987). Negative growth in the third phase is attributable to starvation of the larvae.…”

“…The nature of the non-directed activities, such as sink and pause, is not straightforward (Rabe and Brown 2001). Sinking has been reported in other species, such as the snapper Pagrus auratus (Pankhurst et al 1991) and the black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegeli (Fukuhara 1987), and, like the pause behaviour, it has been interpreted as a resting behaviour.…”

Early development and larval behaviour of two clingfishes, Lepadogaster purpurea and Lepadogaster lepadogaster (Pisces: Gobiesocidae)

The recent revision on the taxonomic status of Lepadogaster lepadogaster resulted in the division of this species into L. lepadogaster and L. purpurea, the clarification of each species' distribution ranges and the elimination of L. zebrina (now in synonymy with L. lepadogaster). This new taxonomic status led to the need of clarifying the early development of the two species. Embryonic development lasted 21 days in L. purpurea at a mean temperature of 14.2°C, and 16 days in L. lepadogaster at a mean temperature of 16.5°C. Newly hatched larvae of both species measured 5.2 mm, had the mouth and anus opened, pigmented eyes and almost no yolk. At hatching and throughout development the two species can be distinguished by the ventral pigmentation which is absent in L. purpurea. The change to a benthic mode of life was gradual in both species, with larvae increasingly spending more time close to the bottom until definitely settling. Larval development lasted 33 days in L. purpurea at a mean temperature of 14.6°C and 18 days in L. lepadogaster at a mean temperature of 16.5°C. Locomotion and foraging behaviours are described for both species. L. lepadogaster showed a higher frequency of swimming and foraging behaviour when compared with L. purpurea.
