Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event Ovarian development and early larval survival of Stenopus zanzibaricus (Bruce, 1976) Catarina Barraca1, Francisco Aguilar1, Guilherme Ferreira1, Inês Ferreira1, Daniel Marques1 and Sérgio Miguel Leandro1* 1 GIRM - Marine Resources Research Group, School of Tourism and Maritime Technology, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal Despite economically valuable, ornamental shrimps are poorly studied and there is a lack of protocols for their captive breeding. Stenopus is one of the most important genera of ornamental shrimps, being Stenopus zanzibaricus one of the species with less information about captive breeding and larviculture. For a better knowledge of its reproductive cycle, we evaluated morphological and color changes during ovarian development of adult females through daily photographs taken during all the cycle. The effect of three diets (Brachionus plicatilis + Tetraselmis chuii; newly artemia nauplii + Tetraselmis chuii; newly artemia nauplii) and two different temperatures (25ºC and 27ºC) on early larval development were also evaluated. With this study, it was expected to obtain some insight about Stenopus zanzibaricus reproductive cycle and early larval development, in order to develop captive breeding and larval rearing protocols for this economic valuable species.
