Abstract The sequence of embryonic development is described for Galaxias maculatus attenuatus (Jenyns). Standard stages are described and the rate of development at two different constant temperatures is given. Field results are compared with these data. It appears that G. m. attenuatus is very temperature labile in its development, an adaptation of high survival value in the habitat in which the eggs are laid
