【 摘 要 】

The identity, density and spatial and temporal distribution of fish larvae and eggs were investigated in the Gulf of Salamanca, Colombian Caribbean. Due to scarcity of previous studies taxonomic level was restricted to families. Twenty six fish families were identified and two more could not be identified. Fish larvae and eggs have a patchy spatial distribution. Temporal distribution suggest a definite influence of seasonality on fish larvae ensembles with the transition time into the dry season (December) correlating to the highest abundance in numbers and biomass of fish larvae and eggs.
