Abstract: | A non-destructive, direct volumetric method is described for measuring absolute growth rates throughout embryonic and postembryonic life of gammaridean Amphipoda. The method is demonstrated by following embryonic and early postembryonic growth of individuals from a population of Platorchestia platensis Krøyer 1844 living on a fixed shingle shore in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. |
