The highest survival rate, 34.2%, was obtained in the larvae fed with the artificial diet, Diet-B. Larvae fed with the diatom, Chaetoceros gracilis, plus Artemia nauplii did not give the best survival; however, growth was the fastest in this group. The larvae metamorphosed into the mysis_3 stage in 7 days. Comparable growth rate was obtained on larvae fed with Diet-B. The larvae metamorphosed into the mysis_3 stage in 8 days. The results thus seem to demonstrate that Diet-B is an effective diet for the early larval stages of the prawn, P.japonicus.}, pages = {43--49}, title = {Rearing of the Larval Stages of Prawn, Penaeus japonicus BATE, Using Artificial Diet}, volume = {1}, year = {} }
