| Description | Settlement and metamorphosis constitute, arguably, the most complex period in the life history of marine invertebrate larvae. Chemical cues that induce settlement provide a mechanism to assure larval recruitment into a suitable habitat. These cues can be broadly defined as those released by conspecifics and those released by potential prey or habitat-specific associates. Few inductive compounds have been definitively identified, and the ecological relevance of most of these is questionable. Conversely, more natural products that inhibit larval settlement have been identified although their in-situ significance is still equivocal. This chapter provides a brief overview of chemical cues that induce or inhibit settlement of marine invertebrate larvae. Book Name: Fouling Organisms of the Indian Ocean |
