Abstract

The different stages or phases in the life history of fishes markedly vary from the adult and the degrees of difference vary in different groups. However, there is no sudden metamorphosis in fishes and the change of form is slow. The differences between the larvae and adults of some fishes have led erroneously to the descriptions of the early stages of eel as Leptocephalus, Molidae as Molacanthus and Centaurus. Chaetodontidae as Tholichthys, Schindleria as Heiinirhamphus and Lampreys as Ammocoetus, Later, these generic names were given the status of stages in the early life history of the fish concerned.
