Suggested term:

Term name (PrefLabel): flexion larvae Definition: An ichthyoplankton life stage between the start of notochord flexion and until complete notochord flexion. This is concurrent with development of the caudal-fin rays and supporting skeletal elements.

We have now created the following term:

S1189 - flexion larvae A fish life stage between the start of notochord flexion and until complete notochord flexion. This is concurrent with development of the caudal-fin rays and supporting skeletal elements.

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.
