ABSTRACT Three closed systems were evaluated for the transport of abalone larvae for use in remote settlement associated with mass culture activities. The first of these systems maintained the larvae in seawater, the second in seawater with oxygen added, and the third in wet condition without seawater but with oxygen added. Survival of the larvae was determined within each system over periods of 10, 16, and 36 h. In a separate experiment, larval settlement in aquaria was determined ...

Induction of metamorphosis decreases nitric oxide synthase gene expression in larvae of the marine mollusc Ilyanassa obsoleta (say).
The Biological Bulletin ; Most animals on Earth reach adulthood only after completing a complex life cycle marked by the process of indirect development. After fertilization, embryos progress to a feeding or nonfeeding larval stage. During this stage of development, larvae disperse and eventually metamorphose into juvenile
