Аннотация

A juvenile of the deep-sea smelt Leuroglossus kobylianskyi from the Miocene of Sakhalin Island is described for the first time. In color features, juvenile L. kobylianskyi is similar to fry of extant L. schmidti. It is shown that the bone skeleton and color of L. kobylianskyi developed at a higher rate than in L. schmidti.
