5 Eggs and larvae: Ref. No.: Syngnathoides are oviparous with ellipsoidal to pear-shaped eggs found attached to the body of males or enclosed in brood pouch. The embryo inside the egg membrane (fig. 1) of size 2.92 mm is in a fairly advanced stage. The dorsal and pectoral fins were clearly differentiated and the tail potion was free from opaque yolk mass having numerous tiny oil globules. Eyes were fairly well developed and already black in colour. The heart was also fully formed. The autocysts were clearly visible. Pigment spots could be seen all over the cephalic region and at a few places on the trunk and tail. The newly hatched larva measured 8.1 mm (fig. 2). It had already attained a characteristic shape of the adult pipe fish, except that the pipe shaped snout was extremely short, and the yolk mass was still present, though very much reduced in size. Dorsal and pectoral fins were well developed with rudiments of rays visible. The whole body (including fins) was pigmented with a heavier concentration of spots in the cephalic region. Rudiments of abdominal and caudal annuli were discrinible with seven of the latter under the dorsal fin. All syngnathids are encased in armour of bony rings. Snout is tubular with small terminal mouth. Postlarva resembles a miniature adult. Characteristics: Abundance: Biochemical aspects: Proximate analysis: moisture/ fat/ protein/ carbohydrate/ash Ref.

11 Eggs and larvae : Ref. No. Eggs are pelagic. Larva is highly pigmented. Head is characterised by the presence of 3 conspicuous spines, one from the tip of the snout directed forward and others from the lateral margins of operculum, one on either side directed backwards. Larva has the appearance of zoea. Eyes are big. Alimentary canal is thick and coiled. The 2.89 mm stage larva is slender and tapering with a large head measuring 40.8% in standard length. There is a serrated spine at the end of the snout, the base of which is broad and is supported by strong spines on the sides. Mouth is slightly oblique. There is a serrated preopercular spine at the angle of each preopercle. Lower limb of the preopercle has three curved spines, the posterior one near the angle being the longest. Minute wart like thickenings is discernible over the snout, supraorbital and postorbital parts of head. Myotomes are distinct and 25 could be counted. Median finfold is continuous and narrow at the caudal region. Pectorals are devoid of fin rays. Caudal fin is protocercal. A row of chromatophores is present along the ventral midline of the caudal region. Dorsal part of the visceral sac is pigmented. The 4.6 mm stage shows considerable advance in development over the preceding stage. Head length increased to 53.8% of standard length. Mouth is inferior. Eye is very prominent and its diameter is 12.6% in standard length. Traces of fin rays are discernible in the region of soft dorsal, anal and caudal. Pectoral is rounded and fin rays have formed. In Holocentrus sp. Rostral spine appears as a single structure and is much longer than the diameter of the eye unlike Myripristis murdjan, where it appears paired, serrated and shorter than the diameter of the eye (Figs 1-4).

17 Eggs and larvae : Ref. No. Eggs are pelagic. Larva has a very bizarre appearance with the spiny armature on the head and highly developed serrated opercular spines. Eyes are big and pigmented. The smallest larva recorded (Jones&Kumaran 1964) measured 2-7mm. Head is somewhat blunt and fairly large, being about 35% of the standard length. Body slender tapering posteriorly. Mouth terminal and oblique, maxillary reaching to a vertical from the anterior border of the pupil. Eye is about 11.4% of the standard length. A conical projection is present at the tip of the snout which is up of two compactly placed spinous structures. There is a long serrated spine at the angle of the pre-opercle directed backwards and outwards and measures about 24.4% of the standard length. There are two curved spines along the lower limb of the pre-opercle and a very small one at its angle just below the long pre opercular spine. On the supra occipital part, one long serrated spine measuring 30.7% of standard length is present with a short curved spine at its anterior part. A small spine is visible on the upper part of the operculam. Minute wart like thickenings are present over the upper part of the head. Twenty five myotomes could be counted. The median fin fold is continous, but narrow in the region of the caudal peduncle. Pectorals are rounded and devoid of fin rays. Pelvic fin is absent. A group of pigments is visible over the eye on each side in front of the region of the forebrain. Small chromatophores are present on the dorsal aspect of the abdominal sac. The head length increased to 39.6% of the standard length, due to the elongation of the snout in the 3.4mm stage. The rostral spines are elongated and serrated. Mouth shifted to a slightly ventral portion. Pre opercular spines increased to 31.6% of the standard length. Lower limb of the pre opercle has three spines instead of two in the preceding stage. Another curved spine also appeared near the base of the supra occiptal spine. Serrations have increased in the pre opercular and supra opercular spines. The opercular spines further increased in length. Pre anal portion also elongated considerably. Fin rays have not yet developed. Ventral fins are pigmented. Chromatophores on the head, peritoneal lining of the abdominal cavity are increased. The most striking developments in the 4.71mm stage are the elongation of the snout and thickening of the base of dorsal anal and caudal. Mouth has become inferior in position. The diameter of eye is also increased. Rostral spine is longer with more serrations. Twenty five myotomes plus the urostyle region of the caudal could be counted. Rudiments of fin rays are discermible. Fin rays are visible in the pectoral and ventral fins. Caudal fin heterocercal. Pigmentation is deeper on the head and prominent. In the 6.74mm larva, the dorsal fin is with five spines and fiftten dorsal rays. Anal has four spines and thirteen rays and pectorals with fifteen rays. Pelvic fins have grown conspicuously large. In a 51mm larva the rostral spine is absent and supraocciptal spine is very much reduced. Considerable developments are noticed as it approaches the juvenile stage and appears very similar to the adult in all essential features (Figures 1-5).

23 Eggs and larvae: Ref. No.: Eggs are pelagic, spherical of diameter between 0.74 mm and 0.8 mm, with fine striations on the chorion, perivitalline space, homogenous yolk and pigmented single oil globule. Newly hatched planktonic larva with yolk sac measuring about 2.2 mm. Robust body with 24 myomeres, moderately to heavily pigmented with melanophores. Abdominal pelvic fins are widely separated, short based dorsal fin and lacks spines on the opercular series bones. In the 4.0 mm stage, mouth is terminal. Alimentary canal extends to ¾ of the total length of larva. Rudiments of dorsal and anal fin base are visible covered by membranous fold, but without any rays. Pectoral fin appears as a fleshy ray less structure. In 6.7 mm larva no rays are formed. At this stage full compliments of dorsal, anal and caudal fins are already formed. The fin fold is lost between 6.7 and 7.9 mm stages. The larva moderately pigmented initially, subsequently becomes heavily pigmented. (Figs. 1-4).

29 Eggs and larvae: Ref. No.: Eggs are pelagic, spherical and pigmented with single oil globule. Larvae is moderately pigmented with 24 myomeres. In the 6.4 mm larva, the second dorsal, caudal and anal fins are already formed with fin rays. Position of the first dorsal fin is indicated by the dorsal embryonic finfold which is continuous with the second dorsal. Pelvic fins are rudimentary. Pectoral fins have faint indications of rays. The tip of notochord is sharply upturned. There is a row of chromatophores along the lateraline, which is prominent behind the level of origin of first dorsal. Mouth is terminal and alimentary canal extends to more than half of the body. The 7.05 mm and 7.75 mm larvae are more pigmented than the earlier stage. Three groups of chromatophores are present on the nape, another row on the mid-dorsal and mid-ventral aspects of the caudal peduncle. There are also very prominent and highly branched chromatophores, lining the body cavity, on opercle, symphysis of upper jaw and infront of the eye. Preanal finfold completely disappeared. The first dorsal has 4 spiny rays. Jaws are almost equal. Chromatophores on the lining of the body cavity appears very dense and highly branched forming a network. (Figs. 1-3).
