Planktonic larval stages—an adaptation to lower predation rates in the pelagic environment?
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3417-3430, November 2025.Abstract A majority of marine benthic macroinvertebrate and fish species have planktonic larval stages that disperse in the water column from days to months. However, the adaptive significance of pelagic larvae, and whether predation is higher in the pelagic or the benthic environment, is still debated, partly due to a lack of studies assessing larval ...
