Abstract
The period of swimbladder inflation in larval striped bass was investi gated in two batches of larvae by comparing inflation success at diffe rent intervals after hatching. At 20 degrees C, inflation occurred bet ween days 4 and 6 after hatching. At 17 degrees C, inflation occurred between days 5 and 8 post-hatch. Our data provide evidence that succes sful swimbladder inflation occurs during a specific and, likely, tempe rature-dependent developmental interval associated with a transient ph ysostomous swimbladder in the early ontogeny of striped bass.
