Gobioid larvae collected from the coast of Okinawa Island, southern Japan, were identified on the basis of a combination of morphological characters and a sequence of a hypervariable region of mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA) gene (138–145 base pairs). A short-term formalin fixation technique enabled identification using both morphological and genetic methods. Thirteen of the 21 types of gobioid larvae assessed were identified to the species level. Additionally, we described the morphology of the postflexion larvae of wormfish Paragunnellichthys sp. and shrimp-associated goby Ctenogobiops feroculus , identified for the first time in their respective genera.

福尔马林固定的鲭鱼幼虫的形态学和遗传学鉴定以及 Paragunnellichthys sp. 屈曲后幼虫的描述。和 Ctenogobiops feroculus

根据形态特征和线粒体 12S 核糖体 RNA (12S rRNA) 基因（138-145 个碱基对）高变区序列的组合，鉴定了从日本南部冲绳岛海岸收集的 Gobioid 幼虫。短期福尔马林固定技术能够使用形态学和遗传学方法进行识别。评估的 21 种类型的鲱鱼幼虫中有 13 种被鉴定到物种水平。此外，我们还描述了蠕虫 Paragunnellichthys sp 屈曲后幼虫的形态。和虾相关的虾虎鱼 Ctenogobiops feroculus ，首次在各自的属中被鉴定出来。
