Vecchione: Paralarval ecology of Lolliguncula brevis 



52! 



digestion in paralarvae, distinguishing among these 

 alternatives is impossible. Paralarval feeding is a sub- 

 ject greatly in need of study (Vecchione 1987, Vecchi- 

 one and Hand 1989), especially because starvation of 

 paralarvae has been proposed as a dominant factor 

 affecting the large interannual variability in recruit- 

 ment of cephalopods.
