their gametes from genital canals found inside some of the pinnules. The pinnules eventually rupture to release sperm and eggs into sea water. The fertilized eggs hatch to release a free swimming vitellaria larva. While both feeding and non-feeding larvae exist among the four extant echinoderm classes‚ all present day crinoids appears to be descendant from surviving clad that went through bottleneck after the Permian extinction. The larva’s free swimming period lasts

Zebra Mussel larvae were sucked up into a ship’s tank in Europe. The ship then came over to the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence seaway. In order to raise the ship out of the water to avoid underwater hazards the ship drains the ballast tanks. In doing so the ship let out the larvae of Zebra Mussels introducing them into the Great Lakes. Once the Zebra Mussels established themselves in Lake Erie
