From studies in Caridina multidentata, Crangon crangon, Atyephyra compresa, and various species from the genus Alpheus, early cleavage is known to vary from holoblastic to incomplete (Brooks and Herrick, 1891; Weygoldt, 1961; Anderson, 1973; Klann and Scholtz, 2014).

Owenia collaris embryos undergo holoblastic spiral cleavage to form a coeloblastula, which, although exceptionally hollow (again like some nemerteans), conforms to the ancestral pattern for annelids (Okada, 1970).

Early cleavage was radial and holoblastic. The earliest embryos encountered in the gonad were wrinkled blastulae (Fig.

pentagona through the stages of holoblastic radial cleavage, early blastula, wrinkled blastula, and gastrula was typical of development in lecithotrophic sea stars (Byrne, 1995).

Cleavage was equal, radial, complete (i.e., holoblastic), and rapid, dividing the embryo into a ball of cells (blastomeres).

Although microtubules have been correlated with cytoplasmic movements that follow fertilization in amphibians (4), ascidians (5), and annelids (6), these embryos do not form blastodisc caps and, unlike the squid, they undergo complete or holoblastic cleavage.

After fertilization, early cleavage events were holoblastic, progressing by furrow formation.
