Abstract
Eggs of 14 species and larvae of 8 species of fish were identified in surface samples with a 30 cm diameter Bongo-net, collected during April-September 1976 in Lindåspollene, western Norway. 18 % of the eggs and all larvae could be identified to species. Eggs of Ctenolabrus rupestris and larvae of Gobius flavescens were strongly dominant. Eggs of 11 species of fish were identified in samples with an epibenthic dredge, collected during April-July 1973 and February, 1974. About 60 % of the eggs were dead and in various stages of decomposition at the time of sampling. The mean abundance was about 24 eggs/m2 at stations deeper than 45 m, and no species was particularly dominant. The horizontal distribution of eggs and larvae indicated that the eight species which dominated the samples spawned within Lindåspollene.
