A total of 211 larval and juvenileNibea mitsukurii (4.0–19.0 mm SL) was collected with a small seine in surf zones of Tosa Bay during the period of May 1981 to June 1984. They had morphological characteristics common to the larvae and juveniles of Sciaenidae, but were distinguished from the others by the distribution pattern of melanophores on body and spines at the anterior tip of maxillary. They occurred only in surf zone of Tei out of three locations facing Tosa Bay from middle May to middle August. Temperatures and salinities at the place when they were collected ranged from 21.7 to 29.5°C and from 24.5 to 31.3‰, respectively. Good catches were observed when minute dusts floated abundantly in the surf zone. In past studies using traditional larval nets or minnow-nets in coastal or shallow waters of Tosa Bay, larval and juvenileN. mitsukurii were not reported. It seems that they occur in association with minute dusts in extremely shallow waters such as surf zones.
