Identification of Four Northern Blennioid Fish Larvae in the Canadian Atlantic Ocean (Stichaeidae, Lumpenidae)
Four similar northern blennioid fish larvae from the Gulf of St. Lawrence can be identified on the basis of morphological features. The two larvae of the family Stichaeidae, Ulvaria subbifurcata and Stichaeus punctatus, can be distinguished from the two larvae of the family Lumpenidae, Leptoclinus m...
