- Maturation and gametogenesis
Session 5, 6: Fertilization
- Process of fertilization
- Artificial fertilization and insemination in sea urchins and crustaceans
Session 7, 8: Embryogenesis
- Cleavage
- Structure of embryos
- Early stage of embryos
- Body axis establishment
- Segmentation
Session 9, 10: Hatching and Larva
- Hatching
