Sk. Rushtonmellor et Ga. Boxshall, THE DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCE OF ARGULUS-FOLIACEUS (CRUSTACEA, BRANCHIURA), Journal of Natural History, 28(4), 1994, pp. 763-785
We describe and illustrate the complete development of Argulus foliace
us L. A metanauplius is followed by nine juvenile stages. Eggs were de
tected in the thorax of the female at the 11th stage. Comparisons are
made between the development of A. foliaceus and the other freshwater
species of Argulus currently found in the UK.
