brooding female

brooding female
An adult female with fully extended oostegites on the coxae. In specimens from deep-sea samples, the developing embryos are often lost during sample processing, so it is generally not possible to tell whether the female was in fact brooding embryos, or whether she released the young before sampling [Wilson, 1989].
