Description A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the
e¡ects of diet, stocking density and environmental
factors on the growth, survival and metamorphosis of
short neck clamPaphiamalabarica larvae.These experiments
examined the following factors: diet [Isochrysis
galbana, Nannochloropsis salina and a mixture of
I. galbana and N. salina (1:1 w/w)], stocking density
(1, 3, 5 and 7 larvaemL_1), light intensity (unshaded,
partially shaded and fully shaded) and water ¢ltration
(un¢ltered and sand ¢ltered). Results indicated that
N. salina could replace 50%of I. galbana as a food source
for the clam larvae with an increase in growth, survival
(47.2%), metamorphosis (33.5%) and early settlement.
Larval growth decreased signi¢cantly with increasing
stocking density. A density of 1^3 larvaemL_1
appeared to be optimal for normal growth of clam larvae
