Abstract
⺠We tested for developmental consequences of egg mass deposition on macrophytes. ⺠In high light, gastropod embryos develop faster on a photosynthetic surface. ⺠In low light, development and growth are faster on a non-photosynthetic surface. ⺠Macrophytes also reduce the growth of fouling and potentially harmful microphytes. ⺠Egg mass-macrophyte interactions are driven by oxygen and depend on light conditions.
