[The effect of eyestalk extirpation on the development of Pisidia longicornis (Crustacea, Decapoda, Anomura) (author's transl)]. 1979

A Le Roux

Eyestalk removal has been performed on the larvae of Pisidia longicornis the first day after moulting to the second zoea stage. In the eyestalkless animals: -- The duration of the second zoea stage is not significantly affected. -- The megalopa stage is always abbreviated. -- The megalopae exhibits a reduced color-pattern.-- Difficulties occur often during moulting to the adult stage. -- The pleopods of some first and even second or third stage adults retain some setae.
