16 For larvae of benthic marine invertebrate species, settlement from planktonic to benthic 17 life is a critical transition. The “desperate larva” concept describes the tendency of larvae to 18 accept suboptimal settlement habitats as they age. We quantified swimming behavior in 19 planktotrophic larvae of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, to determine whether 20 settlement behaviors, such as swimming downward and remaining on the bottom, increased with 21 age and whether these ontogenetic changes were more apparent in larvae exposed to suboptimal 22
