What is a Amphioxus Immature?

Amphioxus, also known as lancelets, are small, marine invertebrates that belong to the subphylum Cephalochordata. An immature amphioxus refers to the early developmental stages of these organisms, which exhibit key characteristics such as a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits. These features are crucial for understanding the evolutionary link between invertebrates and vertebrates. Immature amphioxus play a significant role in developmental biology and evolutionary studies.


What is mechanism of feeding on amphioxus larva?

Amphioxus has a wheel organ which creates a current. This current carries water into the mouth, where food is trapped in the pharynx by cilia and mucus. Excess water is filtered through the pharyngeal slits to the atrium and out the atriopore.


Can a amphioxus swim as well as an aquarium fish?

Amphioxus, a type of cephalochordate, is not as adept at swimming as many aquarium fish. While they can move through water using a simple lateral undulation, their swimming capability is limited compared to the more advanced muscle structures and streamlined bodies of fish. Fish possess fins and a more efficient propulsion mechanism, allowing for greater agility and speed in the water. Thus, aquarium fish generally outperform amphioxus in swimming ability.
