Influence of temperature on developmental and biochemical traits of the red squat lobster <i>Grimothea monodon</i> (H. Milne Edwards, 1837) during early ontogeny.

ABSTRACT: Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors that influence on the successful development and survival of decapod larvae. Our model species, the red squat lobster Grimothea monodon, has a wide biogeographic distribution in the Humboldt Current Ecosystem (HCE) and support important fishing activities. Recently, it has been described that juvenile and adult individuals of G. monodon (i.e., benthic phase of their ontogeny), present intraspecific variations in size, lifestyle, and nutritional condition, which could be modulated by the environmental conditions like temperature associated with depth. However, it is still unknown whether these intraspecific variations also occur during early ontogeny (i.e., planktonic larval phase). To investigate, we
