Abstract

Among the common late‐stage bivalve larvae occurring in plankton samples from the Bay of Islands (35°15'S, 174°10'E), Wellington Harbour (41°16'S, 174°51'E), and Raumati Beach (40°56'S, 174°58'E), New Zealand, during 1970–72 were two species provisionally identified as Atrina pectinata zelandica (Gray) (Pteriacea: Pinnidae) and Anomia trigonopsis Hutton (Anomiacea: Anomiidae). The seasonal occurrences of these larvae in the plankton, as well as those of Saccostrea glomerata (Gould) and an as yet unnamed Ostrea sp. (Ostreacea: Ostreidae), are described.
