In contrast, we found that bisected larvae, lacking coelomic pouches in their anterior regions, completed regeneration. Thus, coelomocytes apparently do not play a critical role in larval regeneration. In adult asteroids, regeneration is initiated by a prolifer- ation of epidermal cells forming a mesenchymatous blast- ema, which later gives rise to the missing body structures (Candia Carnevali and Bonasoro, 1994; Bonasoro et 1998; Thorndyke el ai, 1999). Our observations demon- strate that regenerative processes occur in a similar fashion in planktotrophic asteroid larvae. Our microscopic exami-.
