説明

A postflexion larva (15.6mm standard length) of a skilfish, Erilepis zonifer (Lockington, 1880), is described from off Iwate, northeastern Japan. This is the first report of the larval stage of this species. The larva of E.zonifer is similar to that of the only confamilial species, the sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria (Pallas, 1814), in having a laterally compressed body, two dorsal fins, large pectoral fins, no head spination, and heavy pigmentation of the body and the distal part of the pectoral fin. The longer pectoral fin and deeper body of E.zonifer, coupled with distinctive meristic counts, separate the larvae of these two species of the family Anoplopomatidae.
