Abstract
The article presents an illustrated description of early larvae of the smooth lumpsucker Aptocyclus ventricosus from Avacha Bay and Vilyuchinskaya Bay in southeastern coast of Kamchatka. The larvae differ from previously described larvae from Japanese and Korean waters in their earlier development: the urostyle bending, the formation of fin rays, and the development of pigmentation occur earlier. The growth of the larvae is uneven. The head and torso increase in relation to the length of the body, while the tail part practically does not grow. Eye diameter, maxillary length, and the length of the pectoral fin rays relatively decrease. The first dorsal fin is difficult to distinguish, which can cause difficulties in the larva diagnoses. The larvae are coastal, lead an attached lifestyle.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Ichthyology is an international peer-reviewed journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. It covers original studies in fish taxonomy, evolution, molecular biology, morphology, species diversity, zoological geography, genetics, physiology, ecology, behavior, reproduction, embryology, invasions, and protection. Some problems of applied ichthyology are also covered. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
