"Trocophore" Meaning

A trocophore is a larva of a species that originates from an egg or progenitor that undergoes a holoblastic cleavage with a yolk-radius too small to allow protoserm circles (a less typical type of holoblastic cleavage), meaning the blastomeres can encroach upon the yolk, creating a radial extension beyond the full 360 degrees around the animal pole and thus being a 'trocophore'.
