Induction of Metamorphosis and Substratum Preference in Four Sympatric and Closely Related Species of Sea Urchins (Genus Echinometra) in Okinawa
Abstract
Metamorphosis and settlement studies were conducted with 20 to 24-d-old laboratory-reared larvae of 4 closely related and genetically divergent sea urchins of the genus Echinometra (E. sp. nov. A, E. mathaei, E. sp. nov. C, and E. oblonga) to assess their preferences for various substrata. All the Echinometra spp. exhibited a similar high rate of metamorphosis in response to encrusting coralline red algae compared to mixed turfs of coralline...
