Table 1 in Description of Atherinella brasiliensis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1825) (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) larvae from the Jaguaribe River estuary, Itamaracá island, Northeastern Brazil

Table 1. Morphometrics of preflexion, flexion, postflexion stages and juveniles of Atherinella brasiliensis (expressed as percent of SL, except for ED, expressed as percent of HL). Mean ± SD is given when sample size n>1. Dashed lines differentiate preflexion (1), flexion (2), postflexion (3) stages and juveniles (4). Abbreviations: HL = head length; ED= eye diameter; BD = body depth; PAL = preanal length; PDL = predorsal length, nv = not visible; nd = not defined.
