Besides the AOTTCB view, another view exists about the timing of decapod larval release synchrony with the spring tide period, which is hereafter called the "syzygy-cycle-based (SCB) view." The larval release times of a larval export-type female in the course of the reproductive season are determined by how she keeps pace with synchronized mating and how long it takes for newly deposited embryos to develop under temporally varying temperatures (Christy 1978, Wheeler 1978, DeCoursey 1983, Forward 1987).
