Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the order Tanaidacea are gonochoric and exhibits sexual dimorphism. Mating usually occurs in the female's tube; fertilization occurs in the marsupium. Life cycle: Eggs develop into manca larvae and later grow into reproductive females. After producing 1 or 2 broods, they molt into reproductive males.
