Note

The precompetent period for many planktotrophic larvae of marine invertebrates is influenced by environmental factors such as food supply, temperature , and salinity. In this laboratory study veligers of the tropical gastropod Strombus gigas were grown in 16 temperature and salinity combinations to examine growth, development , and survival to metamorphic competence. These environmental conditions are typical of the waters where veligers of this species naturally disperse.
