Reproductive biology of a deep-sea brittle star Amphiura carchara (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea)

New information on the brooding reproduction of Amphrura carchara, and previous studies of several deep-sea congeners, contradict the prevailing notion that direct development is exceptional among deep-sea echinoderms. Over 500 specimens of A. carchara from 2,850 to 4,100-m depths off the coast of C...
