| Abstract |
This study reports for the first time patches of Moreiradromia antillensis megalopa in superficial waters over the shelf-break and addresses their relevance as evidence of synchronism in the planktonic larval pool. Patches were registered during a plankton survey conducted between 13o and 22o S, over the shelf break in the central coast of Brazil. |
