| dc.description.abstract | Little is known about the early development stages of Parablennius ruber. In this paper the following stages are described, and illustrations provided for the first time: middle stage egg, late stage egg, yolk-sac larva and preflexion larva. Recently laid eggs were spherical and orange, attached to the substratum in rock crevices. Eggs measured 1.02 mm in diameter. Newly hatched larva measured 4.65 mm total length and had the mouth closed and the anus open, fully pigmented eyes and a big yolk sac. Pectoral fins were present, rounded and not radially pigmented. Yolk was absorbed in 2–3 days at room temperature. Preflexion larvae had pointed pectoral fins, bigger eyes, well developed lips and strong jaws. Operculae were open. Orange chromatophores began to be noticeable between the eyes. | pt |
