Suggested term:
Term name (PrefLabel): preflexion larvae Definition: An ichthyoplankton life stage between complete yolk-sac absorption and until the start of notochord flexion.
We have now created the following term:
S1188 - preflexion larvae A fish life stage between complete yolk-sac absorption and until the start of notochord flexion.
We chose 'fish' as opposed to 'icythoplankton' in the definition to match FishBase: https://www.fishbase.se/glossary/Glossary.php?q=flexion+larva&sc=is
Note that this will not become live on the NVS until ~0730UT tomorrow.
This term is now live on the NVS: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/S11/current/S1188/
