摘要
A metamorphosing notacanth leptocephalus is reported from the Porcupine Sea-Bight, southwest of Ireland. It is described and compared with juvenile Notacanthus chemnitzi and N. bonapartei from the same area. The adult diagnostic features evident conform with N. chemnitzi. The posterior location of the anus in the leptocephalus relative to the post-metamorphic condition is noted. The ecological significance of the benthopelagic occurrence of this exceptional larva in slope waters is considered.
