Abstract

Larvae  of  the  Smallscaled  Spinycheek  Sleeper  (Eleotris  perniger)  in  transition  from  saltwater to freshwater were identified using COI and 16S gene sequences and the morphology and color pattern were then described. Available freshwater habitat for this species on Montserrat is minimal and continued existence is threatened by potential water withdrawals.
