Larvae were fed by a combination of 4gr bread powder + 4 shrimp powder + 2gr bean powder + 0.001gr vitamine B1. Larvae were contained at the conditions: a density of 0.3 larvae/cm2 of the surface water. Water for rearing was taken form the field with the salinity of 0.6 – 0.8%. Room temperature of 27 – 31oC, humidity of 60 – 90%. At these conditions, the image period took the time of 5 – 17 days.
