- Description
- Two hauls made in late January, 1930 off southern Africa by the Danish Dana Expedition contained developing eggs and very young larvae of the congrid eel Gnathophis capensis (Kaup, 1856). Collection of these specimens confirms the suggestion made from previous larval studies that spawning, development, and at least early larval growth of this species occurs in late summer in this area.
