Studies of the Reproduction and Development of Teleostean Fishes Occurring in the neighbourhood of Plymouth

Abstract

The following is a detailed account of the results of my investigations concerning the breeding and the development, under natural and artificial conditions, of some of the fishes met with at Plymouth. These researches extended over the period from the beginning of August, 1887, to the end of August, 1888. I have given brief preliminary accounts of some of the results in No. II of the ‘Journal,’ issued in August, 1888. As I mentioned there, the laboratory work was carried on from August to November in a small room hired for the purpose near the fish quay; from November to June, 1888, in a single room in the Laboratory without a constant supply of sea-water; after that time the Laboratory being finished all its appliances were available.
