| Name: | posterior lateral line development |

| Synonyms: | PLL development |
| Definition: | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the posterior lateral line over time, from its formation to the mature structure.

The posterior lateral line develops from cranial ectodermal placodes situated behind the ear. |
