Timeline of larval development in days post-fertilization. Both developmental types reach the same embryonic stages. Time is in days post-fertilization (dpf). Lecithotrophic embryos are delayed in developmental timing compared to planktotrophic larvae at the equivalent stage. Planktotrophic larvae have an extra swimming stage compared to the lecithotrophic larvae. Both types are morphologically indistinct by the early juvenile stage. Green and orange arrows indicate the approximate time when larvae are released from their mother. Asterisks indicate the RNAseq stages: gastrula, 2-eye, swimming larvae, and 1-week larvae
