Larval growth and mortality By day 4 post-fertilization, geoduck larvae had an average shell size of 131 µm. This increased to 146 µm on day 6 and 161 µm on day 8 post-fertilization. At day 4 post-fertilization, 3.1 million larvae were stocked in each tank. By day 10 post-fertilization there were 516,000 larvae in one tank and 1.3 […] More
