ATLAS OF INVERTEBRATE REPRODUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT

Conn, D.B. 1991

The new surge of research in aquacultural methods relies heavily on learning about the reproductive and developmental strategies of target organisms such as shrimp, artemia, oysters, lobsters, and other invertebrates. This text addresses the need for a single volume which outlines the reproductive strategies of the major invertebrate animals. It examines both free-living and parasitic species and investigates animals from terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Arranged phylogenetically, chapters deal with phylum or phyla, and together present 100 species from 21 phyla in concise textual description. The book includes a series of 637 high-precision micrographs depicting the details of reproductive systems as well as embryonic, larval, and juvenile stages. Premium quality and high-density information make this an essential reference manual. Hardbound, 252 pages, 637 bw plates, extensive references and glossary.
