The regular pathway (with 5 zoeal stages) required ca 18–20 days. During this time span, zoeal size (carapace length) increased by a factor of 2.2 from 0.33 to 0.73 mm, while biomass (measured as zoeal dry mass and contents of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen) showed an 8-fold increment. The megalopa moulted after 10–12 days to the first juvenile crab stage, the total larval development from hatching to metamorphosis taking approximately one month (or ca. 4 days longer in larvae passing through an additional zoeal stage). First egg-laying was observed 8.5 months later, at a female carapace width of 14.4 mm. After an embryonic development time of 26–27 days, a total of 3,470 larvae hatched during two subsequent nights. Hence, the minimum generation time (from hatching to first offspring release) comprised slightly more than 10 months. Unlike the regular zoeal stages, the supernumerary stage VI showed atypical characters for Sesarmidae larvae, especially in the setation pattern of the first maxilliped and the segmentation of the endopod of the second maxilliped. Some characteristics presented an intermediate morphology between that of the zoea V and the megalopa. The first juvenile stage (crab I) is described in detail, while only the most relevant morphological changes and sexual differentiation are highlighted for subsequent crab stages (II–IX). Males and females can be distinguished from instar V onward, based on sexual dimorphism in the pleopods and the presence of gonopores in the females. The morphological characters of all larval stages and of the first juvenile crab are compared with those of other <i>Chiromantes</i> spp.  ","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The early life history of <i>Chiromantes ortmanni</i> (Crosnier, 1965) (Decapoda: Brachyura: Sesarmidae): morphology of larval and juvenile stages","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Brachyura, Sesarmidae, <i>Chiromantes</i>, larval development, zoea, megalopa, supernumerary stage, juvenile, morphology, sexual dimorphism, growth","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2012,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-02-13","DateCreate":"2013-04-08","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000305256200002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":224359,"PubliDate":2012,"Pagination":"36-62","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"3347","Issue":"3347","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":57347,"SerRR":"Zootaxa.
