Preliminary guide to the identification of the early life history stages of Gerreid fishes of the Western Central Atlantic
The family Gerreidae contains four genera and 13 species that occur in the western central North Atlantic. Adult gerreids are small to medium size fishes that are abundant in coastal waters, bays, and estuaries in tropical and warm temperate regions and sometimes occur in freshwaters. They are gener...
