Discussion

  • Males are assumed not to differ from females
  • End of acceleration is assumed to coincide with puberty

Facts

  • Programmed death, not by ageing; virulent toxin (tetrodotoxin) is secreted by the large posterior salivary glands (Ref: Wiki)
  • no plantonic stage (Ref: TranAugu1973)
