Abstract: | Metapenaeus ensis was spawned and laboratory cultured untilthe post-larval stage to illustrate and describe its embryonicand larval development. Fecundities ranged between 454 000 and689 000 eggs, and {small tilde}99.2% of spawned eggs hatchedafter 12 h and 40 min at 33.5 p.p.t. and 29.0-29.1°C. Sixnaupliar, three protozoeal, three mysis and one post-larvalstages were noted. A minimum of {small tilde}10 days (249 h20 min) from the time of hatching were required to completethe larval stages by subsisting only on Chaeioceros gracilisand Tetraselmis tetrathele at varying temperature and salinityof 28.1-29.8°C and 33.534.5 p.p.t., respectively.The embryonic and larval developmental stages of M.ensis aregenerally similar to those of other known penaeid species, exceptfor the size and structure of diagnostic characters, setationof appendages and duration of metamorphoses. |
