Welcome to fishlarvae.org!

These web pages present the research activity being conducted at the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research by Howard Browman, Anne Berit Skiftesvik, Caroline Durif, Kim Halvorsen, Tonje Knutsen Sørdalen, Guosong Zhang and our team of Post-Doctoral Associates, Research Associates, Technical Assistants, students and Collaborators (click on the people menu item above). We also provide general information on the early life stages of marine fish and shellfish, and links to other web pages that might be useful to those interested in such matters (under the Resources menu item).
