The full developmental embryonic sequence of Gobius cruentatus is described for the first time. Embryonic development lasted 13 days (14·0–15·0°C). The newly hatched larvae (3·3 mm total length) presented pigmented eyes, the yolk is fully absorbed, and the mouth and anus were opened allowing the onset of exogenous feeding almost after hatching.
