Larval duration of the tub gurnard, Chelidonichthys lucerna, was estimated for the first time from samples collected in North-middle Adriatic Sea using sagittal otoliths. Settlement marks, characterized by discontinuity of daily growth increments and a re-orientation of the growth axes and otolith shape with the appearance of accessory growth centres, were determined. Pelagic larval duration was a mean of 24 days and it was marked by the development of accessory growth centres.

Abstract

Larval duration of the tub gurnard, Chelidonichthys lucerna, was estimated for the first time from samples collected in North-middle Adriatic Sea using sagittal otoliths. Settlement marks, characterized by discontinuity of daily growth increments and a re-orientation of the growth axes and otolith shape with the appearance of accessory growth centres, were determined. Pelagic larval duration was a mean of 24 days and it was marked by the development of accessory growth centres.
