 note = {Attempts to rear the larval crab, Portunus trituberculatus, with the aritificial microparticulate diets, nylon-protein microencapsulated diet (MED), gelatin-arabic gum-MED, cholesterol-lecithin micro-coated diet (MCD), and carrageenan microbinded diet (MBD), were conducted. In experiment I, the feeding rate of the rotifers in the practical seed production of
the crab was reduced by half and replaced with one of the above artificial diets during the
period of zoea2-zoea4 stages. The larval crabs receiving every artificial diet along with the
rotifers by the above mentioned manner had 11-20% survival comparable to the survival rate
of the control group receiving the live feeds such as the rotifer, Artemia nauplii, and the
minced meat of a short-necked clam. In experiment II, the larval crab was reared with one
of the artificial diets alone after hatching. Every artificial diet sustained growth of the larval
crab from zoea1 to juvenile stages, although the survival rates of the crab receiving the
artificial diets were lower than that of the crab receiving the live feeds (control group). The
results of the present study thus show the success in rearing the larval crab with the
aritificial microparticulate diets.},
