The lining develops numerous ovigerous folds that project into the lumen and greatly increase the surface area for proliferation of eggs. |

The sampling strategy should include a differentiation of stages, including adult and ovigerous females. |
|
The oviductal gland secretes a tacky elastic substance that mixes with eggs as they are laid and holds them in one or two discrete masses called ovigerous lamellae. |

Ovigerous female Crangon have also been collected from the offshore neuston of the Bay of Fundy in March and October, but the egg stage was not determined. |
