Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Life cycle: Eggs hatch into pre-zoeae larvae of short duration, undergo four zoeal stages, later molt into megalopa stage before further molting into adult or sexual stage (Ref. 104789). Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer (Ref. 833).
