Everything about The Zoea totally explained
The
zoea (zoeal pl.) is a free-swimming
larval stage of
crustaceans. It follows the
nauplius stage, and precedes the
post-larva. Zoea larvae swim with their thoracic
appendages (as opposed to nauplii, which use cephalic appendages, and megalopa which use abdominal appendages for swimming). It often has spikes on its
carapace which may assist these small organisms in maintaining directional swimming . In many
decapods, due to their accelerated development, the zoea is the first larval stage. In some cases the zoea stage is followed by the mysis stage and in others by the megalopa stage, depending on the crustacean group involved.
