Extract

The post-larval stages of the bass, Morone labrax (L.), have never been recorded from these waters. From time to time occasional specimens of young fish have been caught in the plankton which had been tentatively assigned to this species on account of their similarity to the drawing given by Raffaele (1888). Now that the post-larval stages of this species have been described and figured by Bertolini (1933, p. 310 and Plate XIX) the Plymouth specimens can be definitely identified as Morone labrax, and the instances of their occurrence put on record.
