Abstract Routine activities of early life history stages of fishes occur in an intermediate hydrodynamic environment (as identified by Reynolds numbers), between a zone where drag is linearly dependent on velocity and resistive forces make large contributions to thrust, and a zone where inertial forces dominate except in the boundary layer immediately adjacent to the body surface. Sprint performance carries larvae into this latter zone; thus, locomotor activities important for survival of both larvae and adults occur in the same hydrodynamic environment and similar selective pressures would be expected to influence locomotor morphology of larvae and adults. The simplest framework for evaluating and interpreting development of larvae recognizes the parental form as the developmental terminus and uses adult forms as references to identify similarities and discrepancies in larva structure. Three measures of locomotor structure are used to examine changes during development: (a) the ratio of caudal peduncle d...
