The larvae of <i>B. bascanium</i> and <i>B. scuticaris</i> had been described in the literature as <i>O. melanoporus</i> and <i>O. ophis</i> . Developmental osteology of <i>Bascanichthys</i> (based mainly on <i>B. bascanium</i> ) and of <i>O. melanoporus</i> are presented. The osteology of one metamorphic <i>O. ophis</i> is described. Osteological development of <i>Bascanichthys</i> and <i>Ophichthus</i> larvae differs from that of <i>Myrophis punctatus</i> larvae in the more pronounced division between symplectic and hyomandibula, in the more rapid development of their branchial arches, in the sequence of ossification of the suspensoria and in development of their caudal and axial skeletons. The look-alike method of identifying ophichthid leptocephali is rejected. The larval genus <i>Ophichthus</i> determined using this method contained species of <i>Ophichthus</i>, <i>Bascanichthys</i> and <i>Apterichtus</i> . Tribes and genera of ophichthid larvae are determined using the structure of gill arches, opercular apparatus and cephalic lateralis system, median fin position and number of branchiostegal rays. Species are then determined using total and nephric myomere counts. Larval evidence indicates that Verma is a synonym of <i>Apterichtus</i> .","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Larval morphology of the eels <i>Bascanichthys bascanium</i>, <i>B. scuticaris</i>, <i>Ophichthus melanoporus</i> and <i>O. ophis</i> (Ophichthidae), with a discussion of larval identification methods","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1981,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2017-02-06","DateCreate":"2009-05-06","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":134959,"PubliDate":1981,"Pagination":"46-71","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"31","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":42490,"SerRR":"Bulletin of Marine Science.
