				Life cycle and mating behavior				
					Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae				
			
			
				
					Members of the order Mysida are gonochoric.  Mating behavior:  Male inserts the penis into the marsupium and releases sperm; eggs are then released from the oviducts into the marsupium where fertilization occurs.  Life cycle:  Eggs are brooded in the marsupium and later hatch into miniature adults, no postlarva.
