An assemblage of 31invertebrate larval types inspired by plankton sorting on deep sea Seep Animal Larval Transport (SALT) cruises with Dr. Shawn Arellano. These larvae span many classes and phyla, from molluscan trocophores and veligers, to mitraria specific to the Oweniidae family of polychaetes. These forms allow a diversity of dispersal methods, feeding strategies, and movement across habitat types. These depictions were based on personally collected individuals, or publicly available images.
