THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE MARINE AMPHIPOD STEGOCEPHALUS INFLATUS KRØYER IN THE NORTHWEST ATLANTIC

Collections from the arctic and the Gulf of St. Lawrence were analyzed in order to study the life cycle. Evidence is presented to show that Stegocephalus inflatus is protandrous, produces broods throughout the year, and that each female has more than one brood. The relationship between length and br...

Description
Summary:Collections from the arctic and the Gulf of St. Lawrence were analyzed in order to study the life cycle. Evidence is presented to show that Stegocephalus inflatus is protandrous, produces broods throughout the year, and that each female has more than one brood. The relationship between length and brood size is calculated to be N =.000036 L 4.03 .
