Embryonic development of Haliotis diversicolor and 2-D gel images of silver-stained proteins (120 μg). a a trochophore larvae stage, and (b) veliger larvae. Larvae hatch as trochophores at about 19 h post-fertilization. The trochophore larvae transform into swimming veliger larvae (at 30 h). Images of 2-DE from (c) the trochophore larval proteins; (d) the veliger larval stage proteins. The spot-numbering scheme is based on the description in Additional file 2: Table S2
