The larval development of the sheepshead, Archosargus probatocephalus
is similar to that of other perciform fishes. The caudal and the pectoral
fins are the first to form and the pelvic the last. The yolk sac disappears
at about 4.5 mm SL and adult color patterns begin to appear at about 7
mm and are complete by 15 mm. The development of basic pigmentation
pattern is described. The osteological development of the skull, axial
skeleton, fin supports and caudal elements is also described. Florida Atlantic University.
