Translated from the Russian Pawson David L. — Washington, D.C.: Smithsonuan Institution Libraries, 1998. — 288 p.
This book describes larvae of bivalves and echinoderms, living in the Sea of Japan, which are or may be economically important, and where adult forms are dominant in benthic communities. Descriptions of 18 species of bivalves and 10 species of echinoderms are given, and keys are provided for the identification of planktotrophic larvae of bivalves and echinoderms to the family level. Information on identified species is preceded by a description of the morphology, physiology, and behavior of larvae of the given classes.
The book is addressed to marine biologists, embryologists, zoologists, and specialists engaged in fisheries.
