The occurrence of early stages (eggs) of scalloped ribbon fish, Zu cristatus, is reported for the first time in the Adriatic waters. Four eggs with a diameter between 1.85 and 2.10 mm were found in ichthyoplankton collections taken at Station 205, location Duce (43degrees25.8'N, 16degrees40.2'E, eastern central Adriatic).
