Extract

Seven postlarvae and one juvenile of the golden mullet and two postlarvae of the thicklipped mullet, ranging from 60 to 27 mm and from 14-88 to 21-44 mm in length respectively, were found in plankton collections taken in the Plymouth area on 10 October and 14 November 1969. The morphological characters of these specimens are described and illustrated, and the presumptive spawning periods of the two species are briefly discussed in this paper.
