Anamorphic development
- In which a series of similar larval stages are passed through after hatching. [Ingle, 1992]
- Indirect development in which the embryo hatches as a nauplius larva and the adult form is achieved via a series of gradual changes in body morphology as new segments and appendages are added. [Brusca and Brusca, 2002]
