	abstract = {<p>This osteological survey of 249 specimens of Brevimyrus niger ranging in size from 44 to 137\&thinsp;mm standard length (LS) demonstrated that developmental changes in anal-fin morphology can serve as a predictor of sexual maturity in this species. Anal-fin ray bases begin to expand when fish reach c. 90\&thinsp;mm LS at which size and above there were roughly equal numbers of individuals observed with expanded and unmodified anal-fin bases, reflecting a 1:1 sex ratio.</p>
