Naturally beared larvae obtained from female fish kept in the aquarium were reared for 45 days in the laboratory. The naturally beared larvae were 3.19 mm in average total length (TL) with 9+15~16=24~25 myomeres. Melanophores were distributed on the dorsal margin of intestine tube, ventral margins of the tail and around the oil globule, but none on the top of head and on the pectoral fins. The larva (3.35 mm TL) consumed all yolk and oil globule in 5 days after bearing, and jaw bones and clavicle began to be ossified rapidly. In 22 days after bearing, the larvae averaged 6.30 mm TL and the caudal notochord flex $45^{\circ}C$. Fin development in S. marmoratus larvae proceeds in the following sequence : caudal, pectoral, dorsal, anal and ventral fin.

The skeletal development of the larvae and juvenile of red marbled rockfish, Sebasticus tertius (Barsukov et Chen) was studied based on individuals that were discharged and reared in the laboratory from April to May 1997. In 8 days after bearing, the postlarvae attained 4.42 mm in total length (TL), and its parasphenoid, premaxillary, maxillary, and clavicle were ossified for the first time at this stage. In 15 days after bearing, the postlarvae attained 5.23 mm in TL, and its pterotic, basioccipital, exoccipital, opercle, and preopercle were ossified, with one spine on the each cranium and preopercle. In 27 days after bearing, the postlarvae attained 8.81 mm in TL, its vertebra were posteriorly ossified to the 15th centrum, and five spines were formed on the preopercle. In 39 days after bearing, the juveniles attained 14.21 mm in TL, and the all bones were almost completed at this stage.
