Figure 14. — Distribution of larvae of the myctophid, Loweuut laurae (open circle with dot), of the scomberesocids, 

 Scomberesox saurus (open diamond with dot), and Cololabis adocctus (open hexagon with dot) and of the anguil- 

 liform families Congridae (open triangle with dot) and Nemichthyidae (open square with dot) ; negative hauls are 

 shown as small solid circles. 



larvae was illustrated for ETP I coverag'e 

 (Ahlstrom, 1971, Figure 11). In the portion of 

 ETP I pattern also covered on ETP II, frequency 

 of occurrence and distribution of Notolychnus 

 larvae were quite similar: 1.7 versus 1.5 larvae. 



Notoscopelus resplendens (Richardson) 

 (78 occurrences, 382 larvae) 



As on ETP I, most larvae of N . resplendefis 

 were taken in an equatorial belt, between lat 5°N 



and 5°S (65 occurrences, 364 larvae). A second 

 center of occurrence was at the southern i)ortion 

 of the Rockaicay pattern between lat 9° and 

 15°S. Except that the distribution of the main 

 group of Notoscopelus larvae is more definitely 

 centered on the equator, the distribution of lar- 

 vae of Notoscopelus and Notolych)ii(s are quite 

 similar. No larvae of Notoscopelus were taken 

 north of lat 6°N. Moderately more larvae of 

 Notoscopelus were taken on ETP II, 1.1 versus 

 0.7 larvae per haul.
