Abstract
Most important for the deep sea, juveniles are less dependent on either limited or variable food availability. Yet indirect development, including plankto-trophic and lecitho-trophic larvae, was almost equally prevalent in the epifaunal taxa of our study area, which, in general, supports our hypothesis. This finding is consistent with a growing number of studies documenting the occurrence of pelagic larvae in both polar waters and deep-sea areas. Among larval development types, lecitho-trophs were most common in our study area. This is similar to findings in the NE Greenland, the deep-sea of the North-East Atlantic, and Antarctica, where more echinoderms were found to reproduce with pelagic larvae, the majority of which were lecitho-trophs.
