            This dataset contains occurrence records of the early life stages of five codlet species (Teleostei: Gadiformes: Bregmacerotidae) collected from the northwestern Pacific. The dataset includes specimen occurrence information, collection dates, localities, geographic coordinates, and taxonomic identifications based on morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding. It also includes records of a putative undescribed Bregmaceros lineage. The dataset supports the analyses presented in the associated publication.

        <purpose>This dataset was compiled to document the occurrence of the early life stages of five codlet species (Bregmacerotidae) collected from the northwestern Pacific. The dataset supports species identification, distribution analyses, and future studies on the taxonomy and early life history of codlets.</purpose>
        <introduction>This dataset contains occurrence records of larval and juvenile codlets collected during fisheries surveys in the northwestern Pacific. Species identifications were based on morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding. The dataset accompanies the associated publication describing the early life stages of five codlet species, including a putative undescribed Bregmaceros lineage.</introduction>
