Afhya pellucida Nardo. 



The post-larval stages of this species are very much like those of 

 Crystallogobius, from which they have been separated with difficulty. 

 The fin formula has been counted in most of the specimens, and has given 

 D 11-12, A 11-12. In a few of the older post-larva3 the rays of the first 

 dorsal were just visible. 



Post-larv8B occurred from June to September with a maximum in July 

 and August. Spawning would thus be at its height in June and July. 

 Post-larvse of A. pellucida are seen to be widely distributed over the 

 area investigated, though frequency is highest within the ten-fathom 

 line.
