Abstract
Larvae of Stichaeus fuscus from the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk have been identified and their diagnostic traits described. Larvae of this species were collected in August to early October at a water temperature of 9.9–19.0°C and a salinity of 31.4–33.6‰. The size of larvae varies from 3.5 to 10.0 mm. The areas of finds of S. fuscus larvae fit the known range of this species well.
