Discussion

  • Spawning is assumed to be once per yr
  • Protandrous hermaphrodite
  • Like all echinoderms, model abj has been selected but E_Hj is coupled to E_Hb in predict

Facts

  • Protandrous hermaphrodite; the male gametes are produced first and later only female gametes are produced. (Ref: Wiki)
  • Direct development, no larval stages. (Ref: Wiki)
