Zooplankton of Wellington Harbour, New Zealand

Rearing Larvae from Adult Crustacea

Rearing Larvae from Adult Crustacea

Decapod crustacean larvae found in the plankton were in some cases identified by comparison with larvae hatched from eggs of ovigerous females obtained from beach collections. Females carrying eggs about to hatch showing larval eye spots were kept in a small sea-water aquarium until the eggs hatched. The hatched larvae were kept alive for as long as possible by the described laboratory rearing method.
