Bill - Dr. Ed Houde and I offer a graduate-level summer course each 
year on this topic. Please see the course web site: 
http://web.vims.edu/adv/657/

In the lab, we present examples of larvae of 180+ families of fishes 
from the world's oceans. The collection represents approximately 70% 
of all teleostean families known to have pelagic larvae. The teaching 
collection includes many families in the North Atlantic.
