The name of pluteus was given generally to all kinds of covering with hurdles or with skins. |
When they reached the pluteus four-arms stage, larvae were fed twice a day ad libitum with a mixture of Pavlova lutheri, Chaetoceros calcitrans, and Isochrysis galbana. |
Also imaged were a variety of invertebrate plankters, ranging from copepods and larvaceans to ctenophores and medusae to invertebrate larval types, such as echinoderm pluteus. |
Driesch has found that a tropism underlies the arrangement of the skeleton in the pluteus larvae of the sea-urchin. |
One species, pluteus cervinus, is recorded as edible, but not specially commended. |
The full-grown larva of the Ophiuroids is known as a pluteus. |
