It is interesting to note that the young stages of pelagic fishes are sub- ject to the same laws regarding the development of colouring and light- organs as the adults. In the upper- most 150 metres the young are quite transparent, and many of them pos- sess light-organs in very early stages. Early stages of Argyropelecus (see Fig. 534) develop the silvery Fig. 532.
