   • 1996, Marty Snyderman, Clay Wiseman, Guide to Marine Life: Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida, page 132:

     Salps are capable of self-propulsion, but for the most part, these translucent, gelatinous-looking animals float in mid-water going wherever the prevailing currents take them. […] At times a number of buds are attached to one another in linked chains commonly called salp chains.

   • 1997, L. P. Madin, “Sensory Ecology of Salps (Tunicata, Thaliacea): More Questions than Answers”, in Petra H. Lenz, Daniel K. Hartline, Jennifer E. Purcell, David L. Macmillan, editors, Zooplankton: Sensory Ecology and Physiology, Gordon and Breach Publishers, page 565:

     Observations of some species suggest that salps form spawning aggregations near the surface in the early morning, and that spawning is synchronized with chain release to maximize fertilization success.

   • 2012, Claus Nielsen, Animal Evolution: Interrelationships of the Living Phyla, Oxford University Press, page 55:

     Lampetia has a rather undifferentiated larval stage (called Gastrodes) that parasitizes salps (Mortensen 1912; Komai 1922).
