We studied variability in the reproduction and survival of the zooids of Aeolosoma viride under controlled environmental conditions. Reproduction is by paratomic fission with pygidial budding. We collected data regarding the survival and reproduction of two generations of zooids (G0 and G1) raised in single cultures. Average survival was 69 days while reproductive activity varied according to the age of the specimen as well as to that of its parent at the time of fission.

Abstract
We studied variability in the reproduction and survival of the zooids of Aeolosoma viride under controlled environmental conditions. Reproduction is by paratomic fission with pygidial budding. We collected data regarding the survival and reproduction of two generations of zooids (G0 and G1) raised in single cultures. Average survival was 69 days while reproductive activity varied according to the age of the specimen as well as to that of its parent at the time of fission.File in questo prodotto:
