We describe the distribution, abundance and growth of the paralarvae and juveniles of the glass squid Galiteuthis glacialis which were collected from tows conducted at 500 m depth in Prydz Bay, Antarctica by using an Isaacs Kidd Midwater Trawl (IKMT). Paralarvae occurred in an area from 57° S to 65°30ʹ S and 57°–66° E. Early juveniles co-occurred with paralarvae at 57°–65°30′ S and 57°37′ E to 64°56′ E. Age of individuals was estimated based on statolith increment counts and ranged from 47 to 85 days with a daily growth rate ranging from 0.13 to 0.25 mm dorsal mantle length (DML)/day (mean 0.18 mm) for paralarvae. The early juveniles had an age of 85–103 days with a slightly faster growth rate ranging from 0.21 to 0.27 mm DML/day (mean 0.24 mm). The presence of paralarve of G. glacialis at the outer continental shelf edge of Prydz Bay during austral summer indicates a spawning site in this area.

我们描述了使用Isaacs Kidd Midwater Trawl（IKMT）从南极普里兹湾以500 m深度进行的拖曳收集的玻璃鱿鱼Galiteuthis glacialis的幼虫和幼虫的分布，丰度和生长。幼虫发生在南纬57°至65°30°S和57°–66°E的区域。幼虫在57°–65°30′S和57°37′E到64°56′E的同时发生。根据石笋的增加数来估计个体的年龄，其年龄为47至85天，而幼虫的日生长速率为背壳膜长度（DML）/天（平均0.18 mm）/天0.13至0.25 mm。早期的少年年龄为85-103天，生长速度稍快，从0.21到0.27毫米DML /天（平均0.24毫米）。G. glacialis的伞形虫的存在 在南方夏季，Prydz湾的外大陆架边缘的该处表明该区域是产卵地。
