Morphometric measurements, such as total length, pre-anal length, head height and eye diameter, and meristic characteristics, such as total number of myomeres and pre-anal myomere number, were identified. Additionally, a figure with the shape of a leptocephalus larva as well as the pigmentation structure was illustrated. © by PSP.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAegean SeaConger congerIchthyoplanktonIzmir BayLeptocephalusFirst record of larval stage of the European conger EEL Conger conger (Pisces: Congridae) in Izmir Bay (Central Aegean Sea of Turkey)Article241136763685N/A
