Abstract
The growth curves (age on length) of four widely diversified species of fish larvae (Sardinops caerulea, Pleuronichthys verticalis, Tetragonurus cuvieri, and Trachurus symmetricus) were divided into three sections: A, B, and C. Growth in Section A is very rapid but of short duration. Growth in Section B is much slower but of longer duration. Section C follows absorption of yolk materials and chronicles the rate at which the larvae metabolize themselves. The growth curves for several other species of fish derived from data, given in the literature are generally in agreement with those derived by more rigorous analysis. The slopes of Section A were compared with Section B for each fish. These ratios lie between 4 and 10. The effect of non‐logarithmic growth on estimates of larval survival is discussed.
