Extract

Styela mammiculata breeds during the summer, probably in August and September. Some eggs are self-sterile. Embryos show a yellow crescent of presumptive muscle cells. The larvae hatch by means of an enzyme. The larval sensory apparatus includes a large unicellular otolith and a small ocellus, which is composed of a single pigmented retinal cell and a single lens cell.
