FISH EGGS. In their life history all fishes come from eggs and therefore our thorough knowledge on fish eggs and larvae may contribute to the solution of some of their basic biological problems as well as their practical problems in fisheries. Experience has shown that excessive demands on fish, eggs may endanger the existence of the parti-cular species. A variety of fish eggs may be found at different marine ecosystems such as estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs, sea grass beds, coastal as well as oceanic ones, which principally may indicate the spawning ground of those species. For still many species, however, especially the migratory ones, the location of their spawning grounds are yet unknown. Many fish eggs are pelagic but many others are stuck to floating objects or to the bottom of the sea or attended to with special parental care. Pelagic eggs are usually numerous but small in size, whereas those with parental care are usually less numerous and bigger. In Indonesian waters the eggs develop quickly, within less than 12 hours to 2-3 days they will hatch and become small larve, Investigation on fish eggs and larvae in Indonesian waters which already had a good foundation before the war should be revived and developed in the coming years.
