Chloroplast incorporation and long-term photosynthetic performance through the life cycle in laboratory cultures of Elysia timida (Sacoglossa, Heterobranchia)

Table 1 Reproduction under laboratory conditions

Tank group	1	2
N° individuals	92	87
Captivity period [days]	44	28
N° clutches	218	207
Average of clutches per day	4.95	7.39
Average of clutches per individual	2.37	2.38

Number of clutches in two different groups of adult Elysia timida kept at the marine laboratory OOB (Observatoire Océanologique Banyuls-sur-mer, France). The sea slugs were collected freshly from the sea and kept in two 5 1 tanks with aerated seawater and constant supply of Acetabularia acetabulum food algae.
