Description The results of two experiments on the spawning and large-scale rearing of
Metapermem affims under laboratory conditions are reported. The nauplius larva
hatched out about 8 hours after spawning while protozoea I, mysis I and postlarva
I were attained, after 46 hours, 189 hours and 322 hours respectively. While
the nauplii thrived on the reserve yolk, protozoea larvae were fed, with varying
effects, with cultures of unicellular algae viz., Synechocystes marina and Tetraselmis
gracilis and the diatom, Thalassiosira sp. Thalassiosira sp., was found to be
the best food in protozoea stage. In mysis stage, they were fed with Anemia
larvae, whereas, in post-larval stages artificial diets were given as food. The
morphological features of the different larval stages are described in detail.
