Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the superorder Acrothoracica are gonochoric and sexually dimorphic, males are smaller in size. Eggs are brooded in the mantle cavity. Life cycle: Eggs hatch into nauplii which are released into the water when they reach the cypris stage, they then find a suitable substratum afterwhich females metamorphose into adults while the males kept attach to the females before they metamorphose into adults.
