What is isopod egg?

Isopod eggs are tiny and oval-shaped, measuring around 0.5 mm in diameter. They are typically laid by adult female isopods, who carry them in a specialized pouch known as a marsupium until they hatch. The exact number of eggs laid can vary depending on the species of isopod, with some laying just a few eggs at a time, while others can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs in a single clutch. Isopod eggs undergo a process known as embryogenesis, during which they develop from a single cell into a fully-formed isopod larva. The duration of this process can also vary depending on the species and environmental conditions, but generally ranges from a few weeks to a few months. Once hatched, the larvae emerge from the marsupium and are considered juveniles until they reach maturity.
