Reihe: Reproduction and Development in Aquatic Invertebrates

Reproduction and Development in Echinodermata and Prochordata focuses on the sexual and asexual modes of reproduction of solitary echinoderms, colonial hemichordates, and ascidians. This book focuses on the study of the primordial and embryonic stem cells found in echinoderms as early models for gene therapy in vertebrates. By studying the reproduction and development of echinoderms, researchers have learned how their genes have an extraordinary potency for regeneration and agametic cloning. These studies on reproduction and development have also lead to abandoned coastal shrimp farms being restored for sea cucumber aquaculture, demonstrating the importance of echinoderms in today's world.
