Reproduction of the sea urchin Arbacia dufresnii (Echinoidea: Arbaciidae) from Golfo Nuevo, Argentina
Arbacia dufresnii is a common and abundant sea urchin in Argentinean waters. The gonad index cycle was studied for this species in Golfo Nuevo, Patagonia, from May 2001 to March 2003. Comparative studies of gonad index and gonad histology were performed for the three years of 2001, 2002 and 2003. Th...

The mean fresh oocyte diameter observed was 87.1μm (SD=1.3μm) with a jelly coat of 12.7μm (SD=0.9μm), which corresponds to planktotrophic larval development. © 2010 Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.
