Abstract Eggs ranged from 1.10 to 1.17 mm in diameter and contained a single oil droplet 0.30-0.35 mm in diameter. Hatching occurred after 146 h at 10-13°C and larvae survived for 4 days. Comparison with other Seriolella species shows features allowing distinction of S. punctata eggs and larvae.

Keywords Pisces; Centrolophidae; Seriolella punctata; fish eggs; larvae; development.
