3 years ago We have now created the following term:
S1190 - postflexion larvae A fish life stage between the completion of notochord flexion and until the start of metamorphosis. Diagnostic characteristics include formation of the caudal fin and attainment of meristic complements such as fin rays.
We chose 'fish' as opposed to 'icythoplankton' in the definition to match FishBase: https://www.fishbase.se/glossary/Glossary.php?q=flexion+larva&sc=is
Note that this will not become live on the NVS until ~0730UT tomorrow.
