Definitions
Epimorphic development
- Direct development thought to result from a delay in hatching of the embryo, which causes the nauplius (and any other possible larval stages) to be suppressed or absent. [Brusca and Brusca, 2002]
- In which larval stages are supressed or passed within the egg prior to hatching and the juvenile hatches with adult morphology. [Ingle, 1992]
