zooeae

DEFINITION

plural form of zooea, early larval stages of certain crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

The marine biologist collected water samples containing thousands of tiny zooeae drifting near the ocean surface during the annual spawning season. Zooeae undergo several molting stages before transforming into juvenile crabs that eventually settle on the ocean floor and begin their benthic lifestyle. Researchers monitored zooeae populations to assess the reproductive success of commercially important crab species in the heavily fished coastal waters. The zooeae possess long spines and swimming appendages that help them remain suspended in the water column while avoiding predation by small fish. Laboratory cultures of zooeae required precise temperature and salinity control to ensure normal development through each successive larval stage.
