| salpa | Origin: NL., cf. L. Salpa a kind of stockfish. <zoology> A genus of transparent, tubular, free-swimming oceanic tunicates found abundantly in all the warmer latitudes. Each species exists in two distinct forms, one of which lives solitary, and produces, by budding from an internal organ, a series of the other kind. These are united together, side by side, so as to form a chain, or cluster, often of large size. Each of the individuals composing the chain carries a single egg, which develops into the solitary kind. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
