| | [SNC] Euphausiid reproduction rate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | There are 86 species of euphausiids in the oceans, of which 57 are believed to shed their eggs freely into the sea; the remaining 29 species protect their embryos by attachment to the posterior pairs of thoracic legs (Mauchline and Fisher, 1969). |
 | | Euphausiids of the genera Bentheuphausia, Euphausia, Thysanoessa, Meganyctiphanes, and Thysanopoda spawn freely and hatch as nauplius 1, while the genera Nematoscelis, Nyctiphanes, Pseudeuphausia, and Stylocheiron brood their eggs and hatch in the early metanauplius phase as pseudometanauplii or as metanauplii (Mauchline and Fisher, 1969; Brinton et al., 2000). |
 | | Jaime Gomez-Gutierrez's continues: I'm studying two species of euphausiids and brood size change from upwelling conditions (low temperature, high turbulence environment) to non-upwelling or offshore conditions with higher temperature. |
