ABSTRACT An innovative method was developed to quantitatively measure the attractiveness of cultured diatoms for early stages of abalone larvae settlement. Larvae of the abalone Haliotis discus hannai were offered, in a petri dish, a choice of several toed patches. each made of a diatom monoculture layer. The distribution of the larval settlement on the patches of 17 diatom species was determined. Nitzschia laevis induced the most abalone larvae settlement, followed by Navicula cf ...

Journal of Shellfish Research ; ABSTRACT The Suminoe oyster (Crassostrea ariakensis) is being considered for introduction into the Chesapeake Bay. However, our current understanding of the biology and ecology of C. ariakensis is insufficient to predict whether an introduction will be successful, provide desired benefits, or have

The Biological Bulletin ; Introduction Many marine sessile invertebrates produce planktonic or benthic larvae as a dispersive phase. These larvae develop to competent stages, attach to suitable substrata, and metamorphose into juveniles in response to certain environmental (physical, biological, and chemical) cues (Crisp,

The Biological Bulletin ; PATRICK J. KRUG [1 ADRIANA E. MANZI [2] Abstract. Larvae of the specialist marine herbivore Alderia modesta (Opisthobranchia: Ascoglossa) metamorphose in response to a chemical settlement cue from the alga Vaucheria longicaulis, the obligate adult prey. Bioactivity coeluted with both high and low
Settlement of Chlamys varia (l.) in the hatchery.
Journal of Shellfish Research ; ABSTRACT The employment of different types of spat collectors and their orientation were investigated, as well as the effect of light and depth on larval settlement, with the aim of optimizing hatchery production of C. varia spat. Competent larvae were seeded in tanks with and without collectors,

The Biological Bulletin ; Larval settlement is a critical stage in the life history of sessile marine invertebrates. This transition from a mobile larval stage to a sessile juvenile stage represents a commitment to a particular location, and determines the subsequent conditions that an individual will encounter, including

Journal of Shellfish Research ; ABSTRACT Competent larvae of the black scallop Chlamys varia (L.) were treated with the neurotransmitter gamma-amino-n- butyric acid (GABA), the catecholamine epinephrine, and 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine (IBMX), at different concentrations and times of exposure, to test the effects of exposure to
