Peculiarities of reproductive biology and larval development of the red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus in Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan

The distribution of cirripede larvae (Cirripedia: Thoracica) in the Amursky and Ussuriisky bays of the Sea of Japan

“…The maximum density of larvae was recorded in the autumn season, it was provided by lar vae of B. rostratus; density peaks in Amursky Bay were observed in July-September, due to the increase in the larvae of A. improvisus. The number of cirripede larvae was higher in Amursky Bay, with deep sea species nau plii being concentrated in its central part, and shallow water species, in the zone of coastal gyres in the north ern and central parts, as was formerly recorded for the larvae of commercially important crabs [22][23][24]. In Ussuriisky Bay, the density of larvae of most cirripede species decreased in the direction from the coast to the deep sea.…”
