Third larval stage in euphausiaceans, characterized by differentiation of abdomen and appearance of compound eyes [Moore and McCormick, 1969].
Third larval stage, characterized by differentiation of abdomen and appearance of compound eyes (Euphausiacea); see also zoea [McLaughlin, 1980].
(Order Euphausiacea):
