Abstract
Embryonic, larval, and juvenile development of a Japanese cottid fish Pseudoblennius marmoratus is described from laboratory-reared specimens. Eggs of P. marmoratus resembled those of two congeners, Pseudoblennius cottoides and Pseudoblennius percoides, but differed in their smaller diameter and yolk color. Although the larvae and juveniles of P. marmoratus were also similar to them in general morphology, the former differed in the lengths of newly hatched larvae, pigmentation patterns, number of pectoral fin rays, and dorsal fin spine elongation.
