Abstract
Developmental information on the structure and composition of the cartilaginous and bony skull in the large African barb Labeobarbus (=Barbus) intermedius (Teleostei; Cyprinidae) is provided. Sequences of cartilages and bones appearance from a large series of cleared and Alizarin red- and Alcian blue-stained laboratory-reared specimens ranging from prehatching larvae to juvenile stages are described. Comparisons of cranial development are made among cyprinids: L. intermedius, Danio rerio, Barbus barbus, and Cyprinus carpio.
