Abstract
INFORMATION on the reproductive behaviour of feather-stars, especially in their natural habitats, is very scarce. Among the widely cited investigations are those on the development and larval forms of Echinodermata1 and the publications that describe gamete production in the crinoid Comanthus japonicus2 and its correlation with the declination of the Moon3.
