This reference work is designed to provide background information
on an array of northeastern Pacific marine invertebrate species so
that they can be more easily included in comparative studies of
morphology, cell biology, reproduction, embryology, larval biology,
and ecology. It is meant to serve biologists who are new to the
field as well as experienced investigators who may not be familiar
with the invertebrate fauna of the northern Pacific Coast. The
species discussed in this volume are mostly from the cold temperate
waters of the San Juan Archipelago, near Puget SOund and the Strait
of Georgia, but the information and methods given will be useful in
laboratories from Alaska to central California and applicable to
some extend in other coastal or inland facilities. An introductory
chapter discusses basic prodcedures for collecting and maintaining
mature specimens, for initiating spawning, and for culturing
embryos and larvae in the laboratory. Subsequent chapters summarize
reproduction and development in thirty different invertebrate
groups and provided ercent references through which additional
information can be traced, cite monographs or keys needed to
identify species, and give methods useful for studying an array of
selected species. Available information on habitat, diet,
reproductive mode, egg size, developmental pattern, developmental
times, larval type, and conditions for settlement and metamorphosis
is reported for over 450 species.
