Subject Demersal Fisheries
 
Description The leptocephalus of Muranesox talaborl generally occurs in the 'dol' net
catches along with that of Muranesox talabonoides and the collection contains
several specimens and 2 elvers (vide Introduction, Nair and Mohamed,
1960 a). Some of the larva: showed the full set of larval teeth while in the
others they have fallen off indicating the commencement of metamorphosis.
A few leptocephali showing intermediate stages of metamorphosis and the
elvers present in the collection made it possible to get a more or less connected
series of stages in the transformation.
