Development Mode:

Asexual Reproduction:
Budding/fragmentation (Splitting into unequal parts. Buds may form on the body of the “parentâ€)
Reproduction Details:
Frontal brooding (Ikezawa and Mawatari 1993)
RELATED:
[Celleporidae] Members of the family Celleporidae...early in their astogeny, zooids in the primary layer begin to bud frontally, becoming buried under the secondary layer of zooids (Ikezawa and Mawatari 1993)
[Celleporina] Ooecia budded from the distofrontal wall; 'Kenozooidal ooecia' formed in the genera (Ostrovsky 2013)
[Gymnolaemates] Internal fertilization, whether intracoelomic or intraovarian, is obligatory (Temkin 1994 and 1996, cited in Ostrovsky 2013)
[Gymnolaemates] Differ from most organisms in that sperm-egg fusion does not stimulate egg activation. Egg activation may not occur until "spawned" outside of maternal zooid (Temkin 1991)
[Bryozoans] While sperm is spawned through pores in lophophore tentacles, eggs are usually harbored inside the body wall, and are internally fertilized by sperm, coming in on lophophore feeding currents (Brusca and Brusca 2003, cited in Rouse 2011; Kozloff 1990, cited in Rouse 2011)
[Bryozoans] Colonial hermaphrodites, with testes (spermatogenic tissue) and ovaries developing either within the same zooid (zooidal hermaphroditism) or in different zooids within the same colony (zooidal gonochorism) (Ostrovsky 2013)
[Bryozoans] Members of the phylum Bryozoa are hermaphroditic. Both fertilization and egg brooding may either be internal or external (Ruppert et al. 2004)
[Bryozoans] The first zooid in a colony is called the ancestrula. It is from this individual that the rest of the colony will grow asexually from the budding (Hill 2001)
[Bryozoa] All bryozoan colonies are hermaphroditic. Autozooids may be dioecious; or monoecious, and protandrous or protogynous. (Hayward & Ryland 1999)
[Bryozoa] Reproduces asexually by budding. (Mawatari 1976)
Adult Mobility:
Sessile
Adult Mobility Details:
Encrusting species (Grischenko et al 2007)
RELATED:
[Bryozoa] The abundance and taxonomic diversity of benthic bryozoan faunas are directly related to substratum. (Hayward & Ryland 1999)
[Bryozoa] Bryozoans are a phylum of sessile, colonial suspension feeders found throughout the world in both marine and freshwater environments. (Tilbrook 2012)
Maturity Size:
Typical colony measured 1.5 x 1.2 x 0.2 cm; Zooids 0.28-0.38mm across; Primary orifice 0.12-0.18mm long and 0.11-0.16mm wide; Ovicell 0.24-0.33mm long and 0.29-0.39mm wide (Grischenko et al 2007)
Non-brooding zooids:
Primary oriface: 0.15-0.19mm length, 0.12-0.19mm width
Colony: 1.2x1.3x0.15cm;
Brooding zooids:
Secondary oriface: 0.20-0.24mm length, 0.15-0.22mm width

Maturity Age:
NF
Reproduction Lifespan:
There are three separate generations during the year, with peak embryo production during February-March, May-August, and October-November. (Eggleston 1972, cited in Hayward & Ryland 1999)
Longevity:
The life cycle is completed quickly and colonies live for less than a year. (Hayward & Ryland 1999)
Broods per Year:
NF
Reproduction Cues:
RELATED:
[Bryozoans] Experiments often used light as a cue to collect embryos/larvae (Woollacott and Zimmer 1977)
[Bryozoa] In coastal species light is an important stimulus to larval release, and many cheilostomates shed larvae during the first few hours of daylight. (Hayward & Ryland 1999)
[Bryozoa] In various degrees of intensity according to the species temperature also stimulates sexual reproduction. (Winston 1977)
Reproduction Time:
[Japan] Observed populations in June and July all had embryos (Grischenko et al 2007)
Embryo presented in all the specimens collected in Akkeshi Bay during the periods 2-7 June and 3-6 July . (Grischenko et al. 2007)

Trophic Details:
Is a suspension feeder on phytoplankton (Hughes 1992)
RELATED:
[Bryozoans] Suspension feeder...filter phytoplankton less than 0.045mm in size from the water column. (Hill 2001)
[Bryozoa] Many phytoplankton species are cleary unsuitable as food for bryozoans. (Hayward & Ryland 1999)

PREDATION
[Predation] [Bryozoa] Browsers and grazers, including sea urchins, fish, crabs and some prosobranchs, are known to include bryozoans in their diet. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Predation] [Bryozoa] Bryozoans are also the prey of very many small, selective predators, some of which may be adapted to a very narrow spectrum of prey species. Among them opisthobranch predators of bryozoans are well known. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
[Predation] [Bryozoa] Other than opisthobranchs as a predator, amphipods, isopods, mites and pycnogonids have all been recorded preying on bryozoan colonies. (Hayward & Ryland 1998)
EPIBIONTS
[Epibionts] [Cheilostomata] It is frequently observed in Japan that several species of hydroids flourish on Cheilostomata cause damages to them. (Mawatari 1976)
