They are difficult to identify early on, but this<\/p>\n<p>gets easier throughout their evolution. Nauplii emerge from fertilized eggs and<\/p>\n<p>swim around\u00a0using their antennae\u00a0for a varied amount of time depending on the<\/p>\n<p>animal. With a barnacle, it can take up to six months. In the first stage, they have<\/p>\n<p>usually only\u00a0<span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">formed the first antennae, the second antennae and the mandibles. During<\/span><\/p>\n<p>moults, other appendages are added to the nauplius. This then leads to a metamorphosis into a juvenile form of the<\/p>\n<p>crustacean. Nauplii are translucent under the microscope with splotches of red\/orange visible within their bodies. The<\/p>\n<p>dot in the middle of the head is referred to as the &#8220;naupliar&#8221; eye. The nauplius is a zooplankton and feeds on detritus.<\/p>\n<p>As with all zooplankton, nauplii play an important role in the productivity of marine habitats.<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p>Dahms, 2006.\u00a0<em>Key for the identification of crustacean nauplii. <\/em><span style=\"color: #000000\">Organisms Diversity and Evolution.\u00a0<a class=\"S_C_volIss\" style=\"color: #000000\" title=\"Go to table of contents for this volume\/issue\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/journal\/14396092\/6\/1\">Volume 6, Issue 1<\/a>, 9 February 2006, Pages 47\u201356.
