जीवविज्ञान     शब्द संग्रह (उदाहरणार्थ epibenthic)

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occur in the surge zone of rocky and coral reefs less than 6 m deep (Ref. 529, 9710, 58302). Benthic (Ref. 58302). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).

Oviparous, distinct pairing (Ref. 205). Urogenital orifice of male genital papilla located at distal tip of a slender filament on a fleshy swelling behind anus; elongated testes with length equal to 2 to 3 times its width (Ref. 529).
