Title On two postlarval stages of the shad Hilsa kelee (Cuvier)
 
Creator Bensam, P
 
Subject Eggs and Larvae
 
Description Two postlarvae of H. kelee measuring 5.68 mm and 7.92 mm, collected
from Gulf of Mannar off Mandapam, are described. In the smaller larva the larval
flnfold was prominent and there were 34 preanal and 9 postanal myomeres. In
the larger one the flnfoid was almost absent; all the fins except the pelvic had
been developed and there were 27 preanal and 16 postanal myomeres. Pigmentation
in both the stages was sparse. The differences in features between present
postlarvae and similar stages of allied clupeids from Indian region are discussed
