ous or large (Blenniini and Omobranchini) or completely lacking 

 (Nemophini). Teeth develop early in most species; these become 

 large (Nemophini) or hooked (Salariini) (Fig. 302E). Cirri may 

 develop at the end of the larval period. Members of the Salariini 

 have elongate pectoral fins (Fig. 302F). 



Larvae of the northern families have an elongate body shape. 



but they range from moderately elongate (Zaproridae) to ex- 

 tremely long and thin (Ptilichthyidae) (Fig. 303). Heads are 

 small, and initially pointed or rounded but become more point- 

 ed with development. Most species have a short to moderate 

 snout. Preanal length is highly variable. Generally, preanal length 

 is at least 50% BL, but it ranges from short (<50% BL in pre-
