HOUDE, RICHARDS, and SAKSENA: EGGS AND LARVAE OF SCALED SARDINE 



but relative widths of the pervitelHne space and 

 the oil globule diameters are similar. H. rouxi 

 andH.jaguana larvae have similar pigmentation 

 at the notochord tip. Myomeres range from 43 

 to 45 in H. rouxi, which is higher than for 

 H. jaguana but lower than the number observed 

 in most other clupeids. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Barbara Palko assisted in rearing eggs and 

 larvae used for this report. Thomas Potthoff 

 cleared and stained specimens used to describe 

 osteological development. Grady Reinert illus- 

 trated eggs and larvae, and Claire Ulanoff the 

 caudal fin structures. A draft of the manuscript 

 was reviewed and criticized by E. H. Ahlstrom. 

 P. J. P. Whitehead brought to our attention the 

 nomenclature change of H. pensacolae to H. 

 jaguana and provided information regarding the 

 systematic problems related to Harengula. To 

 all of them we extend our sincere thanks. 



Partial financial support of research leading to 

 this report was provided by National Science 

 Foundation Grant GY-8560 to V. P. Saksena. 

 Additional financial support was derived through 

 NOAA Sea Grant 04-3-158-27 Sub. 3 to the 

 University of Miami.
