On the functional morphology of Pinna and Atrina larvae (Bivalvia: Pinnidae) from the Atlantic
A detailed account is given for the first time of the biological morphology of pinnid larvae taken from the north-west Atlantic. Three species were present in plankton samples taken from depths of 150–200 m. These were maintained in small aquaria and details of their anatomy, development and metamor...

| Summary: | A detailed account is given for the first time of the biological morphology of pinnid larvae taken from the north-west Atlantic. Three species were present in plankton samples taken from depths of 150–200 m. These were maintained in small aquaria and details of their anatomy, development and metamorphosis recorded and illustrated as far as the young adult stage. |
