Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Assumed maximum total length from Refs. 1603, 2268. Known from subtidal to moderate depths (Ref. 7726). Attached to hard substrates (Refs. 1369, 7726). Benthic, marine; on ships' hulls, and harbour installations (Ref. 1134). Favours shaded locations such as covered floats (Ref. 1749). Solitary (Refs. 2268, 7726). Suspension-feeding (Ref. 3270).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Ascidiacea are hermaphroditic; both cross- and self-fertilization is typical. Life cycle: Eggs develop into lecithotrophic larva before metamorphosing into benthic adults.
