Abstract
Berried females of Macrobrachium nipponense were incubated under four different temperatures (20,23,26 and 28 ºC) and two types of tanks with different background coloration (dark and transparent tanks) to determine the best larval release and the post larvae survival were observed. The results show best larval release were 124 ind./L achieved at 26 ºC at dark color tanks, while 68 ind. / L larvae were released at the transparent color tank at the same temperature, while only 16 ind./L were released from berried females incubated at 20 ºC at dark color tanks and 6 ind./L at the transparent tanks. The best survival of larvae was 80 % at 23 ºC at dark color tanks and 75 % at transparent color tanks. Four stages for eggs development were discriminated based on color, size and eyes.
